Inner West homes are close together. Shared walls, parapets and box gutters are where most leaks start, and they need proper flashing details, not sealant. Narrow streets also mean planning how materials get onto the roof. On this Leichhardt job, the new sheets went up by crane.
Many Inner West streets are heritage conservation areas. If council rules affect your roof, we’ll check them before we quote.

On this Leichhardt roof we laid insulation blanket under the new metal sheeting. It keeps the house cooler in summer, warmer in winter and quieter in the rain. It’s a small extra cost at re-roof time, and almost impossible to add later.
As well as Leichhardt, we’re regularly on roofs in these areas.
Honest answers, the same way we’d give them on site.
We plan access, scaffolding and any crane lifts in advance, and we flash properly to shared walls so your new roof doesn’t cause problems next door.
Box gutters often leak because they’re too small, have no overflow, or the joins have failed. We fix the design, for example by adding a rainhead or overflow or resizing the gutter, not just the join.
Sometimes. In a heritage conservation area, changing the material or colour can need approval. We’ll check your property’s planning controls before we quote.
