Roofing and guttering built for how Birchgrove is built
Birchgrove sits at the tip of the peninsula, almost surrounded by the harbour. Grand Victorian homes and cottages line the quiet streets, many with water views toward Snails Bay and Yurulbin Point. As a result, the roofing here needs a careful, period sensitive hand.
To begin with, these older homes have original slate or terracotta roofs. Consequently, leaks usually begin at the ridge capping or flashings rather than the tiles themselves. On top of that, the terraces share party walls, so hidden box gutters run between them and a blockage can leak into more than one home.
There is the water to consider too. Specifically, sitting out on the point means more exposure to harbour humidity and salt than streets further inland. Therefore, gutters and fixings wear a little faster here.
What we do in Birchgrove
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 homes depend on.
On the guttering side, we also clean, repair and replace gutters, upgrade downpipes and install gutter guards. Likewise, for any replacement this close to the water, we specify quality, corrosion resistant materials that suit the harbour air.
Finally, where a replacement is visible from the street, we choose profiles and colours that suit the heritage character of the home.
Why Birchgrove 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 grand heritage homes, that standard is essential. For instance, a rushed repair on an original 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
Can you match the heritage character of my Birchgrove home?
Yes. In fact, much of our local work is on grand Victorian homes with slate or terracotta roofs. So we repair and replace with matching materials and profiles that suit the original look. Where the work is visible from the street, we also keep the heritage character in mind.
Does being close to the water affect my Birchgrove roof?
To a degree, yes. Specifically, sitting out on the point means more harbour humidity and salt than inland streets. As a result, gutters and fixings wear a little faster. Therefore, we recommend corrosion resistant materials for any replacement here.
Where do leaks usually start on an old Birchgrove roof?
Rarely in the tiles themselves. Specifically, the ridge capping, pointing and flashings wear out first and let water in. Therefore, we check those points closely. Often, a repair to the capping or flashings solves the problem without touching the tiles.
