CSR Conference

Saturday, December 03, 2011

Recently a CSR Conference was held at the Mean Fildders Greenway Room in Rouse Hill, for all CSR Roofing Specialists, being a Sydney Roofing Company, Southern Cross Roofing were invited to attend.

Many CSR employees were key speakers at the conference including Brian Doherty. Brian spoke about the down turn in the market and the likely predictions for the future which he enhanced by providing graphs.

Brians discussions were based around all things that relate to and effect the CSR Specialists, such as, New Roofs, Re Roofs, extensions and briefly touching on roof repairs.

Linda Kosl then delivered information on marketing and how best to promote the CSR Roofing Specialist. Suggestions included promoting on social networking sites such as twitter, Tv advertising on The Lifestyle channel on foxtel and general information on updating websites.

Work Safety representatives also made an appearance to reiterate on the importance of safety clothing, including roofing harnesses, correct safety shoes and eye protection.

A HIA representative continued on this track by talking about the new 'Working at safe heights code'. He informed us that all states will soon be in harminisation by coming together and using the same 'Working at safe heights code'.

Mark Webster the director of Southern Cross Roofing was then asked to speak about his new venture into the roofing supplies business. Mark has recently opened a new business called Sydney Roof and Building Supplies and provided information on the products available. He started by explaining that Sydney Roof and Building Supplies is a one stop shop in Mount Kuring-Gai that offers a full roofing product range from small but crucial tools like trowels and tape measures all the way to bedding racks and elevators. He explained that a free delivery service is available to your contractors or yourself straight to site.

Mark focused on 3 main things during the evening:

The first was the new 'Fusion' Nail gun and its capabilities touching briefly on the peg out guide that accompanies it.

The next was roofing clips and the speculation over the pointing code in recent weeks following the cyclone up in Queensland. Mark provided a clip board to highlight the expanse of clips available from Sydney Roof and Building Supplies including not only Fixing Caps, Starter clips and short course clips but a wide variety of head lap clips. 

The Acry Flash lead range that is available was the last thing Mark concentrated on, giving a detailed description of what Acry Flash is and the many benefits Mark sees in using this flashing product. He explained that not only is it water tank friendly but it offers a more durable alternative to other flashing products and more importantly being the same cost as lead.

12th November 2011

Saturday, November 12, 2011

Due to the recent weather that Sydney has been exposed to, Southern Cross Roofing has been very busy working on lots of roof repairs and pending roof maintenance. New roofs and re-roofs are extremely difficult to conquer in this stormy weather due to the safety of the roofers and the amount of time that the bare roof would be exposed to the elements.

Southern Cross Roofing have found many difficult problems arising over the last few weeks that you may find could apply to your own roofs. Not only have we been finding leaf debris in gutters but also in valley lines, this in turn creates blockages causing water to penetrate into the roof area and leaking to occur not only in the outside of the home but in many cases the inside.

We have had many requests for roof repairs in the instances of broken tiles and the re-bedding and pointing of ridge caps which are common problems that we are happy to fix.

If you have experienced any of these problems or any similar problems relating to your roof, why not give Southern Cross Roofing a call on 02 9477 7961. We will be happy to come to your home a offer a free roofing quote.

Slate Roofing

Tuesday, February 08, 2011

Slate roofing produces one of the most beautiful roofs you will ever see. Very sleek lines that give a beautiful fine, sheer appearance, none of the thick bold edges that tiles or metal have to offer. The look a slate roof gives, is in a class of its own.

It can be very expensive to upkeep but you are in the expensive end of the market, although there are some options to reduce costs.

There are many options that slate have to offer that all other roof products don’t ie: soaker and mitre hips. This means no heavy duty capping just mitre the slate into each other. Close mitre ridge and valleys, same appearance that the soaker and mitre hips have. Winchester cuts, eyebrows and many more that enhance this style of roofing.

Southern Cross Roofing have expert tradesmen in this area. Its a dying art and there aren’t many of us left, so be it roof repairs or new roofs give us a call.

There is an awful lot of work that goes into producing a slate roof but once achieved its well worth the money invested.

Check out our projects page on our website or contact us  to discuss in detail.
