Sydney · Northern Beaches
Northern Beaches roofs take the full force of coastal weather: salt-laden air year-round, strong nor'easters through summer and heavy southerly rain events. Corrosion and wind uplift are the two recurring themes.
Housing ranges from beach cottages and 1960s brick homes to substantial contemporary builds on steep blocks with flat metal roofs and extensive glazing.
Dee Why combines a dense band of apartment blocks near the beach with residential streets of post-war houses climbing the hill behind.
Manly has ocean on one side and harbour on the other, so salt exposure is unavoidable and constant. Metal roof components here have a noticeably shorter life than almost anywhere else in Sydney.
Brookvale is the Northern Beaches' industrial and commercial hub, so a large share of local roofing work is metal deck, box gutter and warehouse roofing rather than residential.
