Manly roofs face the harshest conditions on the Beaches: salt spray off the ocean and the harbour, and strong coastal winds. We repair and replace roofs across Manly, Balgowlah, Seaforth and Manly Vale with materials that are rated for it.

Salt air is the main enemy of a Manly roof. It attacks steel, fixings, flashings and gutters, often well before the roof itself looks tired. On homes close to the water we use marine-grade materials and fixings to match, so the roof lasts as long as it should.
Manly also has many older homes, including some in heritage conservation areas. If council rules affect your roof’s material or colour, we’ll check them before we quote.
Real jobs by the Sky Dog team in and around Manly. Every photo is our own work.
In Manly Vale we stripped a low-pitch roof back to the structure, rebuilt the framing for three new skylights, and laid new metal sheeting over it. Low-pitch roofs leave little margin for error, so the framing and flashing details matter.
As well as Manly, we’re regularly on roofs in these areas.
Honest answers, the same way we’d give them on site.
It depends on the material, the fixings and how exposed the house is. Standard steel close to the surf can corrode much faster than inland. Marine-grade steel and matching fixings last far longer, which is why we specify them on exposed Manly homes.
Sometimes. If your home is heritage listed or in a heritage conservation area, changing the roof material or colour can need approval. We’ll check your property’s planning controls before we quote.
Usually, yes. Most leaks start at a flashing, a skylight or a join. We find the actual cause and fix that. We only recommend a replacement when the roof is past repair.
Yes. Manly, Balgowlah, Balgowlah Heights, Seaforth, Clontarf and Manly Vale are all close to our Brookvale base, and we work there often.
