FAQs
Why is proper roof ventilation important when replacing a roof in Newcomb?
Newcomb’s coastal climate can bring high humidity in summer and cool, damp winters. Without adequate ventilation, trapped heat and moisture can warp roof timbers, promote mould growth, shorten shingle life and drive up energy bills. A correctly balanced intake-and-exhaust ventilation system lets hot, moist air escape, keeps insulation dry, and helps maintain even indoor temperatures year-round.
What kinds of ventilation products can you install with my new roof?
We tailor the solution to your roof pitch, attic size and aesthetic preferences. Options include continuous ridge vents, low-profile static (box) vents, eave or soffit vents for intake, wind-driven whirlybirds, and high-efficiency solar-powered roof vents. All products are corrosion-resistant and rated for the coastal conditions common in Greater Geelong.
Will my existing roof structure support additional vents, and do you inspect it first?
Yes. Before quoting, our roofing technicians enter the roof space to check rafter spacing, truss integrity and sarking condition. We calculate the net free vent area (NFVA) needed, verify load capacity for any mechanical vents, and recommend structural reinforcement if required. This ensures the new ventilation works safely with your home’s framing.
How much does adding precise ventilation affect the cost of a roof replacement?
For an average 3-bedroom home in Newcomb, expect ventilation components and labour to add roughly 5–10 % to the overall roof replacement price, equivalent to about $750–$1,500. The long-term savings on heating, cooling and roof repairs typically offset this upfront cost within five years.
How long will a full roof replacement with upgraded ventilation take?
Most Newcomb homes are completed in three to five working days, weather permitting. Day 1 involves tear-off, timber inspection and any structural tweaks. Days 2-3 focus on installing new underlayment, flashing and roofing material. Ventilation units are fitted and sealed on the final day, followed by a full site clean-up and workmanship inspection.
Do I need council approval for roof ventilation changes, and will you handle the paperwork?
Greater Geelong Council generally classifies roof replacements with like-for-like materials as exempt development, but adding powered ventilation or altering the roofline can trigger a minor building permit. We lodge all necessary documentation, supply compliance certificates and coordinate any required inspections so you remain fully covered under local regulations and manufacturer warranties.
