Roof Replacement in Paddington NSW and Parapet Wall Protection

Key Issues Identified

1. Roof Sheet Profile and Pitch

   • The existing roof had a corrugated (Custom Orb) profile with a borderline minimum pitch. This is particularly problematic given the roof’s exposure to high winds.
   • Even with repairs to the flashings, the current profile was unlikely to withstand the wind factor on such a low pitch.
   • A concealed fix profile, designed for low-pitch and high-wind areas, was identified as the ideal replacement to ensure durability and performance.

2. Parapet Wall Vulnerability

   • The parapet wall, not addressed in the insurance quote, was identified as a potential source of water entry.
   • To mitigate this risk, we recommended installing a protective cap over the parapet wall to prevent future water ingress.

Our Solution

• Roof Replacement: We replaced the existing roof with a concealed fix profile, ensuring it could handle the low pitch and high wind exposure. This approach eliminated the need for temporary fixes, such as cleaning old sealant and replacing flashings, which would not have addressed the root cause of the problem.
• Skylight Preservation: The skylight on this section of the roof was in good condition. We carefully removed and reinstalled it after replacing the roof and flashings around it, maintaining its functionality and appearance.
• Parapet Wall Protection: A custom cap was installed over the parapet wall to prevent water entry, addressing a critical issue that was overlooked in the insurance assessment.

Results

The completed project not only resolved the immediate issues but also provided a long-term solution tailored to the unique challenges of the roof’s design and location. By addressing both the roof profile and the parapet wall, we ensured the property is now better protected against high winds and water ingress.
