Homes and roofs in The Hills
The Hills has large homes with concrete and terracotta tile and complex rooflines, plus acreage properties.
Common coverings here include concrete and terracotta tiles, Colorbond and other steel roofing, and membrane roofs on units and commercial buildings.
Weather, storms and access
Parts of the shire are bushfire-prone land where AS 3959 applies; the December 2018 hailstorm also hit the north-west.
A roofer checks the covering, flashings, valleys, penetrations, gutters and the deck or battens underneath, because a leak inside rarely sits directly under the damage on the roof.
Licensing and building rules
In New South Wales, residential building work over $5,000 (labour and materials) needs a NSW Fair Trading contractor licence, and roof plumbing is specialist work that needs a licence regardless of value. Home Building Compensation Fund cover is required on residential jobs over $20,000.
Roofs follow the National Construction Code and Australian Standards for metal and tiled roofing; homes on bushfire-prone land must meet AS 3959 construction rules. SafeWork NSW requires fall protection when people work on roofs where a fall could cause injury.
Typical roofing work in The Hills
Emergency leak repairs and tarping, broken tile replacement, re-bedding and re-pointing, metal roof repairs and replacement, gutters and downpipes, and full re-roofs. Every roof is different, so it is inspected before any work is quoted.
Stay off the roof yourself, especially when it is wet or after a storm. If you are claiming on insurance, photograph the damage from the ground and keep receipts for any emergency covering.
