Roofing

To be completely effective your roof has to be kept clean and free of debris. This applies to the guttering, valleys and downpipes running off it. This will not only alleviate damage, but it will also prevent flooding and/or water damage to the inside of your home.

If you require someone to do work on your roof such as the installation of a satellite dish, evaporative cooling unit, solar pool heating, festive decorations, and extensions to the home or a pergola, make sure they are qualified to do this work.

Damage caused in these areas where work has taken place will not be considered the responsibility of the builder to rectify. It is important that the installation of a heavy item on the roof is carefully planned to avoid roof or ceiling collapse.

Any cracking or damaged tiles can easily be replaced by removing the damaged tile and slipping the new one back into the same position. There are usually spare roof tiles provided after construction. These are usually left in a safe location ready for any necessary repairs.

As with plaster, you might find minor cracks appearing in the bedding of the tiles. Again, this is beyond the control of the builder. They have no effect whatsoever on the structural strength and soundness of your home.

Roof tiles

The colour to most concrete tiles is an applied finish and once the roof tiles have been installed and depending on the time of year, the colour may fade. There is no warranty provided against fading of roof tiles and this will not be considered to be a defect. Roof tile ridge and hip capping’s can sometimes be dislodged in strong winds. If this occurs please contact your insurance company so repairs and any rectification work can be put into effect as soon as possible. If you want more information on natural forces or disasters, review online and/or you can contact State Emergency Service for details.

Colorbond®

Colorbond® roofing is a finish applied onto a metal roof. Once the roof has been installed and depending on the time of year, the colour may fade.

Condensation under the metal roofing can be caused by conditions beyond the builder’s control; such as high humidity and differences between the internal and external temperatures.

Dry Valley Construction

This is now an industry standard to install tiles to roof valleys without the use of a mortar or filler between the bottom of the cut roof tile and the valley iron. This is called dry valley construction, and is not a defect.
