When do you need a roof replacement instead of repairs?
A good roof repair fixes a specific fault. A replacement makes sense when faults keep appearing across the whole roof.
- Leaks in several rooms, returning after each repair
- Tiles that crack or crumble when walked on, or have lost their surface
- Widespread ridge and hip mortar failure
- Sagging roof lines, or termite or rot damage in the timber truss
- Planning a renovation or extension and wanting the roof done at the same time
