Step by step details of the installation

Install safety rail

Before commencing any work, a guardrail is installed around the perimeter of the roof.

All the old roof tiles and ridge are removed.

Inspect roof

A roof inspection examines wear and tear and identifies roof features that are unsafe or in poor condition. Roof timbers are inspected to make sure the battens are sound.

Install sarking

Roof sarking is a pliable laminated membrane that is positioned under your roof during installation by the builder and is rolled out in sections either parallel or perpendicular to the eaves with an overlap between each layer. Roof sarking will protect the frame of your house from the weather during construction. When your home is completed, sarking will protect your roof cavity from storm driven rain and dust, improve its thermal performance, help it resist bushfire ember attack and reduce the risk of harmful condensation.

Install new battens

If you’re re-roofing with tiles you may find that some of the original battens need to be replaced, traditionally timber battens are used. Metal roof battens may also be used with steel or tile cladding. Roof battens are frequently misunderstood and overlooked, but roof battens perform some incredibly important structural functions to safeguard your roof. Battens provide a breathable space allowing any condensation to be eliminated. They increase the structural performance of roof truss systems. Battens enable roofing materials to be secured firmly to the roof and they assist with correct alignment of roofing sheets. Battens serve to evenly spread load stresses such as wind (uplift and direct loading) and weight across the roof truss system. Roofs can be subject to enormous forces and many roofs have failed due to the use of inappropriate fasteners or the incorrect choice of batten material.

Load up new tiles

The new roof tiles are sent up to the roof.

Start laying new tiles

Tiles are laid sequentially up the roof from the gutter line and fixing clips, or nails, are used to secure the roof tiles to the roof.

Pointing

Pointing is a flexible material that covers the mortar and comes in a colour that matches the roof tile. It acts as a mechanical fastener, keeping the ridge in place. It is also used to finish the tiles at the gable or edge of the roof.

Finish

Guard-rail is removed and the site is tidied. Any leftover roof tiles are removed.

Why re-roof your home?

In many cases, the cost of repairing, fixing, or re-colouring an existing roof can be just as much – if not more – than the cost of undertaking a full re-roof.

In addition to giving your home a great new modern look, a full re-roof of your home ensures that current or potential problems with your existing roof will be removed.
