Roof leaks can be caused by numerous issues - often it is a simple fix, like this job we completed today. The customer had 6x broken roof tiles scattered across their roof. We changed the roof tiles, to ensure that the roof was once again water tight and structural for the customer. There are many factors that can cause roof tiles to break - storm damage, foot traffic on the roof tiles, hail and even strong winds.

We have just completed a complete roof replacement at Bonogin, on the Gold Coast. The property is surrounded by trees and forest and unfortunately trees fell on the house roof and verandah, crushing the structure.

We had a customer today who required tile roof repairs to stop water entering their roof cavity. They had water damage to their ceiling that was being caused by numerous factors - broken tiles, cracks in ridge capping mortar and poorly installed whirly birds.

We undertook repairs to rectify these issues and also carried out some maintenance works, so that the roof will remain structural and watertight for many more years to come. Just like a car, you do need to service and maintain your roof every 5 - 10 years. It is a small price to pay to be guaranteed your roof is in good working order and protecting your biggest asset - you and your home!

- Removed and replaced 26 x broken roof tiles
- Removed and replaced 2x broken barge caps

Today we attended to a job at Mount Tamborine that had a roof leak coming from an awning roof. The existing box gutter was not sealed correctly and was leaking water through to the ceiling. We installed a custom Colorbond drypan flashing which flowed right down to the box gutter to seal this section and divert the water, to stop any further leaks.

Today we undertook tile repairs at Banora Point. The customer had experienced roof leaks in recent heavy rain and wanted to get these attended to before any further internal ceiling damage occurred. We undertook the following repairs:

- Repaired cracks in lead flashing
- Installed 2x whirly birds
- Removed and replaced a section of lead flashing

We have had a busy few weeks, working on some roof replacements in the Gold Coast area. We have just completed a job at Currumbin Valley where the roof was storm damaged and needed to be replaced. It was a large roof, approximately 400m2 and also required new skylights, battens and some sections of polycarbonate sheeting.

We undertook the following works on this roof:
- Gold Coast Energy removed the existing solar panels on the roof and reinstated them once the roof
was completed
- Removed existing roof sheets and replaced them with Metroll's .48 Trimclad in Colorbond's 'Loft' colour, which is a lovely deep brown colour. We used .48 roof sheets, as they are thicker and more durable and the standard .42 sheets, giving you a longer lifespan from your roof.
- Installed new hardwood timber battens to relay the roof on
- Removed and replaced two skylights to allow for natural light to filter in the home, adding not only light but warmth in the house
- Removed all flashings and cappings associated with the roof and installed new ones to colourmatch the 'Loft' roof sheets
- Removed the existing polycarbonate sheets and replaced them with Metroll's Trimclad translucent sheets, to let more light and warmth into the house


The view from the house was just beautiful, overlooking the Currumbin Valley with kangaroos and wildlife frequenting the surrounding gardens. It wasn't a hard view to look at all day, that's for sure!

We completed a roof restoration for an Insurance customer this week. The customer had approximately 120 broken tiles replaced on their roof by another contractor, which were visibly different colour to the existing roof tiles. We therefore were called in to paint and restore the roof so that the difference in colour was no longer noticeable.  The customer wanted the colorbond colour 'Ironstone' and this was custom mixed by Shieldcoat our roofing membrane supplier, which we thinks looks fantastic! The customer was thrilled with the results.
