Roof Repairs & Roofers in Lennox Head
Lennox Head sits right on the coast, so homes here cop the full force of salt air, sea wind and summer storms. Most roofs are Colorbond corrugated or concrete tile, and the beachfront and lakefront properties take the worst of the corrosion. We're based in Lennox Head, so response times here are the fastest we offer.

What we see on Lennox Head roofs
The ocean-facing (east) slopes of roofs corrode fastest. Lakefront homes near Seven Mile Beach get salt-laden wind from two directions. If your roof is 10+ years old and you've never had the screws checked, it's due.
Seven Mile Beach, the Point and the lake
Homes along Seven Mile Beach and up towards Lennox Point take salt spray straight off the break, and the wind here rarely stops. Around Lake Ainsworth you get a second dose: humid, tea-tree-stained air that sits on the roof overnight. The result is screw heads that bleed rust onto the sheet and flashings that pit at the fold lines well before the rest of the roof shows its age.
The Lennox Head housing mix
The older fibro and weatherboard beach houses near the village centre mostly carry Colorbond or Zincalume corrugated that has been patched over the years. The newer homes on the western side of the Coast Road and up the hill toward Pat Morton Lookout are a mix of concrete tile and modern Colorbond profiles. The beach houses usually need rust treatment and sheet-end work; the newer homes are coming up to their first screw check.
Why we see Lennox jobs first
We're based in Lennox Head, so we aim to look at a leak here the same or next day, weather permitting. That also means we see Lennox roofs in every season — and the pattern is consistent: the east and south-east faces fail first, valleys collect sand and leaf litter, and box gutters on flat-roof extensions are the usual hidden leak source.
What to check on a Lennox Head roof
- Rust halos around screw heads on the ocean-facing slope
- Sand and salt crust sitting in valleys and gutters after a southerly
- Box gutters and flashings on flat-roof extensions
- Pitting along the bottom edge of sheets where they overhang the gutter
