Roof Maintenance Plans Lennox Head & Northern Rivers
A roof maintenance plan is an annual check-up that catches small coastal roof issues before they become leaks. On Northern Rivers homes, salt and UV age fixings and sealants faster than inland — an annual inspection, gutter and valley clear, and minor same-day fixes cost a fraction of a single reactive repair. You get a photo report each year and priority call-outs for emergencies.
Why this matters on the Northern Rivers coast
Coastal roofs age faster — it's that simple. Salt air attacks metal fixings and cut edges, UV bakes the life out of sealants, and strong wind works ridge capping and flashings loose over time. Inland a roof might go 25 years with no attention; on the Northern Rivers the same roof can start leaking in 12–15 if it's left alone. An annual maintenance plan flips that: a small, predictable spend that catches the perished washer and the blocked valley before they become a ceiling stain.
A maintenance visit is also the cheapest way to build a documented upkeep record for your insurer. Many policies now expect evidence of regular roof maintenance on older homes, and an annual photo report is exactly that. For rental and holiday properties where the owner can't get up to look, a plan is how you stay ahead without relying on a tenant to notice a problem — by the time a tenant sees water inside, the damage is already done.
Signs you need this
- Your roof is 10+ years old and near the coast
- You've had a leak or two and want to prevent the next one
- Gutters and valleys fill with leaf and salt-caked debris each year
- You want a documented maintenance record for insurance or warranty
- You own a rental or holiday property and can't check the roof yourself
- You'd rather budget a small annual cost than face a big repair bill

- 3
Gutters and valleys are cleared and downpipes flushed, fixings and flashings checked, rust and swarf assessed on metal roofs, with an optional low-pressure soft wash to remove salt build-up.
- 4
Minor same-day fixes are included (a few re-screws, a re-sealed flashing, a replaced tile).
- 5
You receive a photo-documented condition report with a priority list and cost estimates for any bigger work.
- 6
You get priority emergency call-outs and a discount on any quoted repairs.

Materials we use — and why they suit coastal homes
Plan visits use the same coastal-grade materials as our repairs — Class 4 screws, UV-stable sealants and matching tiles. Minor fixes included on the day use these materials so the work lasts, not cheap stop-gaps.
How much does it cost?
from $295 per year for a standard single-storey home
Larger, two-storey and commercial properties are quoted on inspection. The annual visit includes the inspection, clearing, minor same-day fixes and a full photo report — the same standard as our paid roof reports, included in your plan.
Repair, restore or replace?
A maintenance plan prevents the need for big repairs by catching issues early. If your roof is already failing in multiple areas, we'll tell you honestly in your first report and recommend a re-screw, repoint or section replacement rather than signing you up to a plan that won't save it.
