Roofing Ballina

Roof repairs cover a wide range of activities designed to replace failed components. This could be as simple as replacing a few tiles or flashing to stop a leak that could potentially cause enormous damage to your home, or it could mean more significant work as a full re-bed for your residential or commercial roof. 

Restoration is when our professional team carries out a complete overhaul of your roof because many components are failing. It's the last course of action before roof replacement and will also include a fresh coat of paint, resealing and brand new gutters and downpipes. 

Sometimes a roof replacement can be the more affordable and durable solution, so our team will always be honest and transparent about the best course of action.

You’ll be required to be in attendance for the initial site inspection and quote so we can have unfettered access to your roof and ask any questions that can help us deliver the best outcome for your home. 

When the work is carried out, it’s best if you are not at home. You can go about your day, go to work or take a break while our team carries out the work so you can return home to a fully functioning roof that is like new. 

Fortunately, roof repairs and restorations can usually be carried out in 24-48 hours by an expert roofing contractor so there's minimal disruption to your life. We will always schedule these repairs when there is minimal threat of rain as well, to prevent any delays or damage to your home. If a roof replacement is required, it could take up to a week to complete.

When Ballina residents notice their roof is getting old, they usually think that a replacement is going to be the best option. Sometimes, when it comes to the sale of properties, building inspectors will advise that this is the best course of action as well. 

But just because a roof is old, it doesn't mean it needs to be completely replaced. In many cases, restoration can bring a roof back to life and deliver you many more years of service at a fraction of the cost of replacement. A roof replacement is the last resort when there is no chance of repairs or restoration being successful.

This depends on the individual roof and its condition, but you can generally expect to get at least another decade out of your roof when it has been professionally repaired or restored. In many cases, it will last another 20-30 years.

We would never recommend doing this yourself unless you are a qualified, certified and experienced roofer. Our team has been trained to repair and restore Ballina roofs to be compliant with the most up-to-date industry standards for your peace of mind. 

Even if you think you have repaired your roof to the highest of standards, if you don’t actually meet these standards, then your insurance could be void and you might be unable to sell your home in the future. 

On top of that, working on the roof involves working at heights and all of the associated risks. Your life is never worth saving a few dollars for. Always rely on industry professionals specially a trusted roofing company in your area.

Our roofing services cost a certain price per square metre. The price depends on the type of roofing you’re having. We calculate the size of your roof in square metres and then multiply this by the cost of the type of roof you’re having installed. This gives us an accurate cost calculation for your individual roof.

Shingles are easier to install than metal roofing. Some people are even able to install shingles themselves. Installing a metal roof requires specialist knowledge and skills and the cost of materials can also vary. 

The added difficulty of installing a metal roof usually means it’s a more expensive option than having shingles installed. However, over time, shingles are likely to need more regular maintenance and possibly replacements.

We use a variety of specialist tools to cut metal roofing for installation. We use shears or a circular saw to cut metal sheets to the right size for your roof. We can also cut rounded ends using a nibbler tool. Before making any cuts we carefully mark the sheets of metal to ensure that they’re cut cleanly and to the correct size, which reduces waste.

Correctly screwing in a metal roof is important otherwise there’s a greater risk of leaks. Screws have to be installed straight into the metal to ensure a tight fit.

However, the exact placement for screws depends on the type of metal roof you’re having. For corrugated roofing, screws can be installed in either the raised or flat portions of the metal. Screwing in the flat parts usually ensures a tighter fit.

We provide resealing services as part of our roof restoration work. Resealing is an effective way to repair damage, improve the appearance of the roof and prevent leaks from occurring. We use the right type of sealant for the material your roof is made of to ensure the best results. Having the roof restored or resealed is also cheaper than having it completely replaced.

Some DIY enthusiasts might be able to replace their own roof successfully but this can be challenging. You might be more likely to replace a roof with shingles rather than metal roofing. 

To ensure effective results, we recommend that you always contact professionals who have the right tools, skills and knowledge to give you a high quality, reliable roof.

It’s difficult to say how long it takes to replace a roof because this can depend on the total size of the roof and the materials being used. It usually takes between 1-3 days. When we see your roof and understand your requirements, we can give you a more accurate estimation of how long the work will take.
