Roof Repairs Paddington

Paddington roofs are their own trade

Pre-war Queenslanders on steep blocks. Corrugated iron at pitches that make access a job in itself. Character-overlay rules that can turn the wrong repair into a council problem. We work in the 4064 every week, it's one of our most-serviced postcodes.

What we see most in Paddington

• Perished fixings on corrugated iron, most Paddo tin roofs are 20 years or more into their fastener life. A re-screw is the highest-value job here.
• Box gutter failures, the hidden gutters between house and verandah roofs rust out and leak into wall cavities. They need replacing, not patching.
• Batten rot from slow leaks, old iron, no sarking, driven rain finding the gaps.
• Steep-pitch access, plenty of roofers won't quote Paddington slopes. We carry the harness and rail gear for them.

Character rules, handled

Much of Paddington sits in Brisbane City Council's character overlay. Like-for-like repair is fine. Material changes, tile-to-metal conversions, for example, need checking. We flag anything that needs approval during quoting, before you're committed.
