Brunswick Heads roofs — coastal or river issues?

Both. Beachfront homes get salt corrosion on east slopes; riverfront homes get humidity and valley blockages. An inspection covers both.

My Brunswick Heads cottage has a new extension and now it leaks — why?

Leaks often start where a new roof meets the old one, especially if a box gutter or a change in pitch was added. We check the flashings, laps and gutter falls at the join, which is where these leaks almost always come from.

What we see on Brunswick Heads roofs

Beachfront and riverfront exposure means east-facing slopes corrode first. Holiday rentals benefit from annual checks to avoid guest-reported leaks.

Between the river and the beach

Brunswick Heads sits where the Brunswick River and Simpsons Creek meet the sea, so most of the village is surrounded by water. Homes along The Terrace and the river front, and those near Torakina and the main beach, get a constant mix of salt and humidity that's hard on screws, flashings and gutters.

Old beach cottages and newer renovations

The village has kept many of its older fibro and timber beach cottages, often with low-pitch metal roofs and box gutters added during renovations. Those box gutters and the joins between old and new roof sections are where most Brunswick leaks begin.

Rentals and holiday homes

With a large share of holiday homes and rentals, roofs here are often checked only when someone reports water. A yearly inspection with photos, plus clearing gutters before storm season, keeps owners out of trouble.
