Roof Repairs & Roofers in Bangalow

Bangalow is a hinterland village a short drive inland, so homes here get less salt corrosion but more leaf and tree-related roof issues. The mix of heritage tin roofs and modern builds means valley and gutter clearing is the most common job.

What we see on Bangalow roofs

Heritage corrugated roofs in the village often need rust treatment at laps. The surrounding trees mean gutters and valleys fill fast — annual clearing is worthwhile.

Heritage cottages on Byron Street and around the village

Bangalow's character comes from its timber cottages and old corrugated iron roofs. Many of those roofs have outlived several owners and been patched more than once. The iron usually fails at the laps, nail or screw holes and along the gutter line, and careful rust treatment and re-fixing can keep a heritage roof going without replacing the whole thing.

Hinterland rain and trees

Bangalow gets more rain than the coast and is surrounded by big trees. Gutters, valleys and box gutters fill quickly, and when they overflow water finds its way into old timber framing. Regular clearing matters more here than almost anywhere else we work.

Acreage and rural-residential roofs

Out on the ridges around the village, larger homes and sheds have long roof runs and long gutter lengths. These need bigger downpipe capacity and regular checks of fixings, especially on exposed ridgelines that catch the storm winds.

What to check on a Bangalow roof

  • Rust at the laps and fixing holes on old corrugated iron
  • Gutters and valleys under large trees
  • Overflow staining on timber fascias
  • Loose sheets or ridge capping on exposed ridge-top homes
