The 3 most common Inner West roof problems
After thousands of jobs in this corridor, the same failures show up again and again. Here's what to watch for.
Original 1900s nail rust — we re-clip, re-bed and replace cracked tiles with reclaimed stock to match.
Federation chimneys and parapet walls leaking at the cap flashings after 80+ years.
Terrace box gutters undersized for modern downpours — we re-size and re-line in lead or Zincalume.
