Roofing in South Sydney
From Hurstville to Cronulla — coastal salt exposure and Federation tile roofs that need attention every 15–20 years.
What South Sydney roofs are up against
Direct salt-laden easterlies off Botany Bay corrode flashings and fixings 30–40% faster than inland — we spec marine-grade where it matters.
"Coastal exposure changes the spec sheet — we don't use the same materials in Cronulla as we do in Blacktown."
- Concrete & terracotta tile
- Colorbond Ultra (coastal grade)
- Federation slate

Wind-driven rain pulls rebedding mortar apart faster — we use flexible coastal-spec point compound.
