ROOF LEAKS THROUGHOUT HOME
We attended this south Brisbane home last month, after the owner reported that the homes ceiling had multiple water stains and mould issues throughout the home.

The existing roof tiles are terracotta tiles and the roof had no sarking installed. Sarking is a protective second skin under your roof tiles that is now industry standard to install when builiding a home. Sarking will protect your roof cavity from storm driven rain and dust, improve its thermal performance, help it resist bushfire ember attack and reduce the risk of harmful condensation. In older homes, sarking was not installed as it was not building standard to do so.

We also found that the tiles water course (see photo above on left) had dirt debris buildup on it, this does not allow water to flow down the tile watercourse to the guttering, it then backflows into the roof cavity. As well as this, the existing ridge capping mortar was cracked and also letting water into the roof cavity. Without sarking, these issues were causing these major roof leaks and issues. 

WHAT DID WE DO TO FIX THESE ROOFING ISSUES?
We installed roof sarking to the existing terracotta tile house roof. The process is:
- Removed all existing tiles and ridge capping
- Removed all timber battens
- Supplied and installed heavy duty roof sarking to entire roof cavity
- Relaid all roof battens 
- Relaid all existing roof tiles, including ridge caps (all tiles were dusted down, to eliminate the dirt debris before reinstating)
- Replaced approx 30 x broken roof tiles
- Rebed and repointed all ridge capping using a combination of bedding mortar and flexible pointing mortar (this now eliminated one of the roof leak issues)

THE RESULT?
A watertight roof, to give the owners peace of mind. Especially with the upcoming storm season, these repair works will ensure that this home is 100% leak proof.

Here is our latest project - which we have started this week.

Located in inner city Brisbane in Spring Hill, this three storey apartment complex is requiring a full roof replacement after suffering hail damage to the roof.

With a large street front, 45 degree pitched sections of roof and tight access, this job certainly is not a quick process for the team.  Our team has experience in both commercial and residential roofing and a project like this is a great example of a combination of both of these. With a large street front, of a busy inner city street, pedestrians and cars below are a high risk to the works we do. Ensuring the highest Workplace Health and Safety policies and procedures are adhered to ensures a safe and efficient worksite. 

Stay posted for the during and after photos.

Kliolok Profile
 Kliplok sheeting is a  roofing profile that is attached with a concealed clip. This ingenious system provides a clean and strong finish, without any visible fixings. It allows for thermal expansion, making it ideal for long length domestic and industrial roofing.
and can be used where a low roof pitch is required and security is important. Buildings such as shopping centres, hospitals, industrial storage, factories and warehouses lend themselves to this style of roofing style because of its strong, reliable, no fuss application.

Last week we removed an existing hail damaged Kliplok roof and installed with new Kliplok sheeting in Zincalume colour.
​
This three storey unit block in Brisbane's south fits the match for Kliplok roof sheeting - it has minimal roof pitch and there are long lengths of sheeting required. The finished result looked fantastic and we are very happy with this recent project.
