Roofing
New roof installation is different work to repair or replacement: there is no existing roof to learn from, so the detailing has to be right from the drawings. Falls, flashing laps, valley set-out and the junction between new and existing roof planes are where new roofs succeed or leak.
We install new roofs on extensions, granny flats, garages, carports, patios and new dwellings across Sydney, in tile or Colorbond.
The most common leak on a new extension is at the join with the original house. That junction needs a properly formed flashing turned into the wall or lapped under the existing course — not sealant across the gap.
Where an addition creates a new valley, that valley must be sized for the combined catchment above it, otherwise heavy rain will overshoot in the first big storm.
On new builds and larger extensions we coordinate with the builder on frame readiness, crane or hoist access and sequencing with gutter, fascia and solar trades. Clear sequencing avoids the situation where a roof is opened up and left waiting on another trade.
