Roofs take the full force of the sun. Lighter roof colours absorb less heat.

After a dry spell, blocked gutters and cracked pointing show up when the rain finally comes.

Embers can get into a tile roof through gaps. Sealing them helps reduce ember entry.

Getting your roof ready

Pre-Summer Roof Check

A full roof inspection before the hot months, with a photo report of what we find and a written quote for any fixes. No obligation to go ahead.

Ember Pack

Embers can get into a tile roof through gaps. We clear the gutters and valleys, fit a non-combustible metal gutter guard, and seal gaps at the ridge, eaves and valleys to help reduce ember entry.

  • Gutters and valleys cleared, debris taken away
  • Non-combustible metal gutter guard fitted
  • Gaps at the ridge, eaves and valleys sealed

Tile-to-metal upgrade

Colorbond steel is a non-combustible roofing material, and a properly sarked and sealed metal roof helps reduce ember entry. Lighter roof colours absorb less heat. Every conversion includes the full building approval process: engineer, certifier and builder.

  • Installed to suit the home's BAL rating where one applies
  • Sarking or anticon chosen for the home
  • Building approval handled from start to finish
