The Cloud9 Roofing and Guttering team recently completed a roofing project in Fairlight, addressing everything from stripping old tiles to installing new custom orb sheeting and even refreshing the existing tiled section.
This project showcased our expertise in handling diverse roofing challenges, including transitioning between pitched and flat sections with expertise and precision.
Our valued Fairlight client, Martin, had been experiencing persistent roof leaks coming into the house and has shared his 5 star experience of the Cloud9 Roofing team’s work:
“Prompt response and devised an excellent solution to a difficult roof leak. Also provided a video and photos of all the completed works. Highly recommended.”
The Challenge: The rear of the property presented a variety of roofing needs. A tiled pitched section required maintenance, while an adjacent flat section needed a complete replacement. Martin also wanted to improve insulation and ensure a seamless transition between the two roof types. Finally, integration with pergola posts required careful detailing.
Our Solution: The Cloud9 Roofing team provided a comprehensive roofing solution, combining new materials with meticulous maintenance of the existing tiled section.
Strip & Prepare: We began by carefully stripping the existing roof tiles from the rear pitched section, preparing the area for the new roof. The flat section also underwent preparation to ensure a clean surface for the new materials.
Insulation Upgrade: A key element of this project was improving the roof's insulation. Cloud9 Roofing supplied and fitted a 55mm insulation blanket, significantly enhancing the energy efficiency of the home. Timber batons were then installed to create a suitable base for the new roof sheeting.
New Roof Installation: For the pitched section, Cloud9 Roofing supplied and fitted high-quality 0.48 custom orb roof sheets and all necessary fittings. This provided a durable and stylish new roof, offering superior protection from the elements.
Seamless Transition: A crucial part of the project was creating a smooth and watertight transition between the new flat roof and the existing tiled pitched roof. Cloud9 Roofing supplied and fitted custom transition flashing, ensuring a professional finish and preventing leaks.
Pergola Integration: Rubber dektite flashings were fitted around the pergola roof posts, creating a watertight seal and integrating the structure seamlessly with the new flat roof.
Tiled Roof Maintenance: Cloud9 Roofing also gave the existing tiled pitched roof a thorough overhaul. This included:
· Gutter & Valley Cleaning: To ensure proper water flow and preventing blockages.
· Re-cementing: Where needed, to re-cement loose tiles to ensure the roof's integrity.
· Ridge Cap Pointing: Re-pointed all ridge caps, securing them and preventing water ingress.
This Fairlight roof transformation enabled this Northern Beaches home to be water-tight and better insulated, plus aesthetically pleasing, combining the durability of custom orb sheeting with the classic look of the existing tiles. The meticulous maintenance of the tiled section, along with the seamless transition and pergola integration, demonstrates the Cloud9 Roofing commitment to quality and attention to detail.
