Repairs
Sydney storms do three kinds of damage to roofs: impact damage from hail and falling branches, uplift damage where wind gets under sheeting or capping, and water damage from the volume of rain that arrives in a short window. A single storm often produces all three.
We handle both stages — securing the roof so it stops taking water, then carrying out the permanent repair once the extent of the damage is clear.
The immediate priority is stopping further water entry: temporary tarping over broken sections, clearing valleys and gutters so water can leave the roof, and removing debris that is holding water against the tiles.
Make-safe is a holding measure, not a repair. We are clear about what is temporary and what is permanent, and we will not leave a tarp in place as a substitute for fixing the roof.
Insurers generally want to see the damage, the cause and the scope of repair. We photograph the damaged areas before and after work, describe what failed in plain language, and provide an itemised written quote you can submit.
We do not lodge or manage claims on your behalf, and we do not guarantee any particular outcome from your insurer — that is between you and your policy.
A roof that has lost a few tiles is exposed to the next system, and Sydney rarely gets just one. Wet insulation loses its R-value, plasterboard sags, and timber that stays damp for weeks starts to break down. The repair bill grows faster than most people expect.
