FAQs
What should I do immediately after a storm damages my roof in Mascot?
First, ensure everyone’s safety—stay clear of fallen power lines or unstable structures. Then, take clear photos of all visible damage for insurance purposes. Temporarily cover exposed areas with a waterproof tarp if it’s safe to do so, and contact our emergency roof repair team. We can usually be on-site in Mascot within 2 hours to perform a full assessment and install secure temporary protection until permanent repairs are scheduled.
How quickly can you repair storm-torn roof sections in Mascot?
Emergency make-safe measures (tarping, sealing, debris removal) are done on the first visit, typically the same day you call. Permanent repairs—re-sheeting, tile replacement, flashing, gutter fixes—are normally completed within 3–7 days, depending on material availability and weather. For severe structural damage requiring council approval, allow 1–2 weeks for permits before we begin major reconstruction.
Will my home insurance cover the cost of storm-related roof repairs?
Most building policies in Mascot cover ‘sudden and unforeseen’ storm damage, including wind-torn metal sheets or broken tiles. We recommend reading the “defined events” section of your policy and notifying your insurer within 48 hours. Our team provides a detailed damage report, itemised quote and before-and-after photos that meet the documentation standards of major insurers such as NRMA, AAMI and Allianz. We can also liaise directly with your assessor to streamline the claim.
What roofing materials do you use for storm repairs, and will they match my existing roof?
We stock Colorbond steel in all current and legacy colours, as well as concrete and terracotta tiles from leading suppliers like Monier and Boral. During the assessment we identify your existing profile, colour and finish, then source exact or closest-match replacements. For older or discontinued profiles, we can custom-fabricate flashing and ridge capping to ensure both watertightness and visual consistency.
How do you ensure repaired sections can withstand future storms?
We exceed minimum NCC and AS 1562.1 standards by installing cyclone-rated screw fasteners at 300 mm centres, using heavy-duty sarking and sealing all laps with butyl tape. For tiled roofs, we re-bed hips and ridges in polymer-modified mortar and apply flexible pointing that accommodates movement. We also check tie-down straps, truss bracing and gutter capacity to make sure the entire roof system—not just the patched area—is storm-ready.
Are there any warranties on your storm-related roof repairs?
Yes. All workmanship is covered by a 10-year labour warranty, while materials carry manufacturer warranties of 20–30 years (Colorbond) or 50 years (terracotta tiles). In addition, we offer a free annual roof check for Mascot clients during the first two years after repair, allowing us to detect any early signs of wear and perform preventive maintenance at no extra cost.
