Thornleigh area 25 October 2010
Southern Cross Roofing receive many calls for repairs to roofs, not always due to leakage, some times clients just want their roof overalled, cleaned or like a recent Thornleigh customer who could see his roof was looking a little drab, just requested a complete check over. He decided upon having the Terracotta roof tiles cleaned, new valley irons installed, cement work redone and a new front porch, as this was found to be in very poor condition. This action by the customer no doubt saved his roof from leaks and internal damage to ceilings.
The work consisted of removing all the ridge caps and valley irons. Fixing new colour bond valley irons in place, new cement which not only re secures the ridge caps but also reseals them against leaks or at the very least dampness. The terracotta tiles were an old Wunderlich tile that were cleaned with a power Gurney, they came up sparkling and the new bedding and pointing (cement work) makes the roof look like new. The front veranda has new colour bond clip lock roof sheets, with all new flashings to seal against leakage.
All the gutters were cleaned out thoroughly and with all rubbish removed you wouldn’t know we had been there, other than the sparkling roof.
The customers action has given him peace of mind for many years to come, it costs nothing to have your roof checked out, as all quotes are free.
