Roofing and guttering built for how Balmain is built
Balmain is a harbour peninsula with a proud history. Victorian terraces and old workers’ cottages line the streets, many with original slate roofs. As a result, the roofing here needs a careful, period sensitive hand.
To begin with, much of Balmain sits within strict heritage controls. Therefore, any visible roof work has to respect the original materials and character. On top of that, these terraces share party walls, so hidden box gutters run between them and a blockage can leak into more than one home.
Then there is the terrain. Specifically, Balmain has some of the steepest blocks in Sydney, and many streets have no rear access. Consequently, getting materials to the roof takes real planning, which is exactly the kind of job we are used to here.
What we do in Balmain
First of all, we carry out roof repairs and full roof replacements when age has taken its toll. In addition, we handle leak detection and repair. Often, this is what prompts the first call.
On period roofs, we work with slate and terracotta, repoint ridge capping and renew worn flashings. Furthermore, we clear the hidden box gutters and valleys these terraces depend on.
On the guttering side, we also clean, repair and replace gutters, upgrade downpipes and install gutter guards. Likewise, we plan access carefully on the steeper streets and the blocks without rear lanes.
Finally, where a replacement is visible from the street, we choose profiles and colours that suit the heritage character of the home.
Why Balmain locals choose us
What sets us apart is the standard of our work. To begin with, we are licensed roof plumbing specialists and fully insured.
On heritage terraces, that standard is essential. For instance, a rushed repair on an original slate roof shows, and it fails. For that reason, we take the time to do the job properly the first time. Moreover, every quote is clear and honest, with no hidden extras.
As a result, much of our work now comes from neighbours recommending us to neighbours. After all, you only earn that through consistent, quality workmanship.
Frequently asked questions
Do you work on Balmain's heritage slate roofs?
Yes. In fact, much of our local work is on Victorian homes with original slate. So we repair and replace with slate, terracotta and matching profiles that suit the period character. Where the work is visible from the street, we also keep the heritage rules in mind.
My street is steep with no rear access. Is that a problem?
It takes planning, but no. Specifically, Balmain has some of the steepest blocks in Sydney, and many homes have front only access. Therefore, we work out materials and access before we start, and we factor it into the quote from the beginning.
What is the most common roof problem on Balmain terraces?
Hidden box gutters between party walls. Specifically, because they sit out of sight, they often go unnoticed until a stain appears on a ceiling. Therefore, regular inspection is worth it. Caught early, the problem is usually a repair rather than a much bigger job.
