FAQs
How do I know if my Mascot home needs a full roof replacement rather than repairs?
Common signs include widespread cracked, curled, or missing tiles/shingles, recurring roof leaks in multiple locations, sagging roof structure, or significant storm damage. In Mascot’s coastal environment, salt-laden air can accelerate corrosion on metal roofs and degrade underlays more quickly than in inland suburbs. If your roof is over 20–25 years old or repairs are becoming increasingly frequent and costly, a professional inspection is the best way to determine whether a complete replacement will be more economical and secure in the long run.
Which roofing materials are most suitable for Mascot’s climate?
Mascot experiences coastal winds, salt spray, and the occasional severe storm. COLORBOND® steel roofing is popular because its baked-on paint finish resists corrosion and fading. Concrete or terracotta tiles are another durable option if you prefer a traditional look; they offer excellent thermal mass but require a stronger roof frame. For flat or low-slope roofs, a modern membrane system such as TPO or PVC can deliver long-term waterproofing. During our on-site consultation, we’ll discuss the pros and cons of each material based on your budget, aesthetic preferences, and the specific micro-climate of your property.
How long will a roof replacement project take from start to finish?
Most detached homes in Mascot can be stripped and re-roofed in 3–7 working days, depending on roof size, pitch, material chosen, and weather conditions. The timeline includes site setup, removal of the old roof, structural checks, installation of new battens and sarking (if required), laying the new roofing material, and final clean-up. We schedule work to minimise disruption, and we can provide temporary tarping if rain is forecast. Commercial or larger residential buildings may take longer; you’ll receive a detailed project calendar before we start.
Do I need council approval for a roof replacement in Mascot?
In many cases a like-for-like roof replacement falls under ‘exempt development’ in Bayside Council, meaning no formal Development Application is required. However, council consent is necessary if you’re changing the roof height, pitch, or material to something substantially different, or if your property is heritage-listed. We handle the paperwork: our team checks planning controls, prepares any required documentation, and lodges it on your behalf so your project remains compliant with local regulations.
How much does a roof replacement cost in Mascot?
Costs vary with roof area, accessibility, material choice, and whether structural repairs are needed. As a guide, COLORBOND® steel re-roofs generally start from $130–$180 per m², while concrete or terracotta tiles range from $150–$220 per m² installed. Flat-roof membrane systems can range from $120–$160 per m². The quote we provide after a site inspection is fully itemised and includes labour, materials, edge protection/scaffolding, waste disposal, and GST. We also offer flexible payment plans to help spread investment over time.
What warranties and after-sales support do you provide?
All replacements come with a dual warranty: a 10-year workmanship guarantee from our company covering installation quality, and a manufacturer’s product warranty of up to 25 years (depending on material). You’ll receive a warranty certificate and maintenance guide on completion. We conduct a free roof health check at 12 months and remain on call for any issues, ensuring your new roof in Mascot performs optimally for decades.
