Small leaks and cracked tiles can often be repaired. A restoration usually means cleaning, re-bedding and re-pointing ridge capping, then coating the roof. Badly corroded metal or failing tiles may need a new roof. A good roofer will explain which option suits your roof and why.
Salt spray is a big factor along the Illawarra coast. BlueScope recommends COLORBOND Ultra steel for severe marine locations, typically 100 to 200 metres from breaking surf, and stainless steel within about 100 metres. Ask your roofer to match the roofing, gutters and fixings to your site.
Roofs, eaves and some gutters on homes built before 1990 may contain asbestos. Never water blast or cut them. Removing more than 10 square metres of non-friable asbestos must be done by a licensed removalist.
Roofing on a home is residential building work, so jobs worth more than $5,000 must be done by a licensed contractor under a written contract.
It is a more corrosion-resistant grade of COLORBOND steel that BlueScope recommends for severe coastal sites, typically 100 to 200 metres from breaking surf.

If your home was built before 1990, the roof, eaves or flues could contain asbestos cement. Do not disturb it. Have it assessed by a licensed asbestos assessor before any work starts.
