Roof Repairs Wynnum & the Bayside

Salt air eats roofs

Every roof within a few kilometres of the water, Wynnum, Manly, Lota, Tingalpa, Sandgate, lives in a corrosion zone. Fasteners and flashings that last 15 years inland can fail in six to eight on the bayside. Repairs done with the wrong materials don't last here.

What we see most on the bayside

• Fastener corrosion, re-screws with marine-grade class-4 fasteners are the most common job we do here.
• Flashings and valleys rusting early, replaced in coastal-rated Colorbond or zincalume.
• Tile roofs faring better, but not immune, terracotta handles salt. The mortar, valleys and gutters around it don't.
• Easterly storm damage, systems off the bay hit the bayside first and hardest.

Bayside specification as standard

Every repair we do in the coastal zone uses marine-grade fasteners and coastal-rated materials. Not as an upgrade, as the default. It's the only way a bayside repair lasts.
