Case Study: Complete Replacement of a Tiled Garage Roof
Project Overview
At SkyDog Roofing, we pride ourselves on providing honest assessments and long-lasting solutions for our clients. Recently, we were called out to inspect a garage with a tiled roof that had been showing signs of significant wear and damage.
Inspection Findings
After a thorough inspection, our team determined that the tiled garage roof was beyond practical repair. The extent of the damage meant that patchwork fixes would not provide a reliable or cost-effective solution. Instead, we recommended a full roof replacement to ensure the longevity and safety of the structure.





Our Solution
To deliver a durable and lasting result, we proposed and carried out the following steps:
- Tree Trimming: We began by cutting back trees that were overhanging the roof area, reducing the risk of future damage from falling branches and improving sunlight exposure.
- Roof Strip: The existing roof area was stripped, including the removal of all old tiles, battens, and sarking.
- New Sarking Installation: We supplied and installed new sarking to provide an extra layer of protection against moisture and improve the roof’s insulation.
- H2 Treated Pine Battens: New H2 treated pine battens were installed to provide a strong and durable base for the new tiles.
- Terracotta Tiles: We supplied and installed high-quality terracotta tiles on the garage roof. Any spare tiles were left with the owner for future maintenance needs.
- Ridge Caps: Sixteen new terracotta tile ridge caps were supplied and installed, with bedding and pointing completed using red flexipoint for a secure and attractive finish.
- Custom Colorbond Barge Capping: We supplied and installed custom Colorbond barge capping in 0.55 BMT (Base Metal Thickness) to provide additional protection and a neat appearance along the roof edges.
- Site Clean-Up: All job-related rubbish and materials were removed and disposed of, leaving the property clean and tidy.



Results
The new garage roof not only enhances the appearance of the property but also provides long-term protection and peace of mind for the owner. By choosing a full replacement with quality materials and professional installation, the client now has a roof that will stand the test of time.
