Roof Repairs & Roofers in Lismore

Lismore is the inland hub of the Northern Rivers, set on the Wilsons River. Roofs here face different challenges — flood and storm damage, tree debris, and a wide range of roof ages — rather than heavy salt corrosion.

What we see on Lismore roofs

After flood events, roofs often need a full inspection for water entry and debris. Storm cells and tree damage are the most common call-outs. Heritage tin roofs in the older parts of town often need lap rust treatment.

After the 2022 floods

The February and March 2022 floods changed how many Lismore homes are maintained. Houses in North and South Lismore and the CBD fringe were inundated, and many roofs were repaired quickly afterwards with whatever was available. We still find rushed repairs, mismatched sheets and damaged flashings from that period, which is why a proper inspection is often the best first step.

Queenslanders, timber homes and old iron

Lismore has a big stock of timber homes and Queenslanders on stumps, many with original or decades-old corrugated iron roofs. These roofs usually fail at the laps, around chimneys and at old gutter joints. Careful rust treatment, re-fixing and targeted sheet replacement can keep the character of the house without a full re-roof.

Goonellabah and the hill suburbs

Up the hill in Goonellabah and Girards Hill, flooding isn't the issue — storms are. Summer cells bring hail and strong gusts, and older tile and metal roofs on exposed blocks take the brunt. Tree damage is one of our most common Lismore call-outs.

What to check on a Lismore roof

  • Patch repairs or mismatched sheets from post-flood work
  • Rust at laps and around chimneys on old iron roofs
  • Damage from overhanging trees after storms
  • Gutters and downpipes on timber homes, where overflow can rot fascias
