RPRoof
Roof plumbing
Sheet roofing, box gutters, flashings and cappings, which is where most water gets into a building when it gets in at all.
In detail
Roof plumbing is a separate discipline to the pipework inside the building, and it is where the majority of water damage originates. A roof sheet is easy. The flashings, cappings and gutter junctions around it are where the work actually is.
Box gutters carry a lot of water through a small section and they are unforgiving of a lazy fall or a badly-lapped joint. They get set out properly, with overflow provision, so a blockage becomes a nuisance rather than a ceiling collapse.
On extensions the new roof has to marry into the existing one. That junction gets custom flashings cut and fitted on site rather than a bead of sealant and hope.
From a completed job
This full roof package includes precision-installed Klip-Lok sheets, custom flashings, and neatly finished cappings.
How a job runs
Four steps, start to finish
Tell us what is happening
A message with the suburb, the problem and a photo. Most jobs can be narrowed down to one or two likely causes before anyone gets in a van.
Looked at on site
Quotes get worked out against your actual setup, not a price list. What is behind the wall changes the job, so the job gets priced after someone has seen it.
Price agreed before work starts
The price is agreed up front. If something genuinely unexpected turns up once things are open, work stops and you get a message before it continues.
Installed, tested, commissioned
Pipework tested before it is covered, appliances checked running rather than just connected, and the site left clean. Captions on completed jobs regularly note testing and commissioning.
