Is your roof showing signs of wear and tear? Don't wait for small problems to become major headaches! Addressing roof issues promptly can save you money and protect your home from further damage.
We recently attended a Northern Beaches home in Narraweena where our client Rebecca, was experiencing significant leaking inside the house every time it rained. It turned out her 1960’s roof was in desperate need of common roof repairs. The result completely fixed all the issues and transformed her roof, giving it a more modern sleek appearance.
Rebecca was thrilled with the results and shared her 5 star experience upon completion of the works:
“Timmy from Cloud 9 roofing was an outstanding communicator from the first conversation until the job was completed. He was friendly, professional and honest and gave good advice about what we needed and different options. We received a prompt quote and once we accepted the job was quick to commence. The team were friendly, tidy, polite and very hard working. Timmy led a great team and his attention to detail is exceptional.Thank you 😊”
Rebecca’s roof was in need of these common repairs that were all contributing to the leaking problems she was experiencing when it rained.
Leaky Metal Roof Flashing: Flashing is crucial for preventing water from entering your home. A leak in your metal roof flashing means water is likely penetrating your roof structure, potentially leading to rot, mould, and costly repairs. Repairing or replacing damaged flashing is essential for a watertight roof.
Replacing Old Fast Flash: "Fast flash" refers to a type of flashing often used where different roofing materials meet, like where a metal roof joins tiled sections. Over time, fast flash can deteriorate, crack, or become improperly installed, leading to leaks. Removing old, faulty fast flash and replacing it ensures a proper seal and prevents water intrusion.
Tile Replacement: Cracked or broken roof tiles compromise the integrity of your roof, leaving your home vulnerable to the elements. Sourcing and replacing damaged tiles is vital for maintaining a strong and weatherproof roof. Matching the existing tiles ensures a consistent look and optimal protection.
Ridge Crack Repairs and Repointing: The ridge of your roof is the highest point, and the mortar holding the ridge caps in place can crack and deteriorate over time. This allows water to enter. Silicone repairs and repointing the ridge, along with replacing any damaged caps, prevent leaks and maintain the structural integrity of your roof.
Roof Cleaning and Respraying: A roof covered in moss, algae, or dirt not only looks unsightly but can also trap moisture and accelerate deterioration. Pressure washing cleans the roof surface, preparing it for a fresh coat of specialised roof paint. Respraying protects the tiles or metal from the elements, extends the life of your roof, and improves its appearance.
Regular maintenance and timely repairs are key to a long-lasting and reliable roof.
