Can a Brisbane roof be repaired after hail, or does it need replacing?

It depends on how many sheets or tiles are damaged and whether the fixings are sound. A roofer can photograph the damage for your insurer and tell you which sections need replacing.

Who should I call for a roof leak?

A roofer can inspect the roof, flashing and gutters to trace the water entry. If water is near lights or wiring, keep clear of the area and also contact an electrician.

Is the gutter causing the leak?

Blocked or damaged gutters can send water where it should not go, but flashing and roof sheets or tiles can also be involved. Photos and an inspection help narrow it down.

Tin roofs, hail and older Queenslanders

Many older Brisbane homes, especially Queenslanders, have corrugated iron roofs where rust at the fixings and the lap joints is the usual cause of leaks. Summer storms bring hail that dents metal and cracks tiles. Roofs on homes built before the mid-1980s can also contain asbestos cement sheeting, which must not be broken or drilled, so tell the roofer the age of the house.
