Looking after a roof on the Gold Coast
A roof here deals with summer storms, salt air and humidity, so small problems grow quickly. Most of what an owner needs to do can be done from the ground or from inside the roof space with a torch: check gutters and valleys, look for slipped tiles, lifted sheets and rust, and watch ceilings after heavy rain.
Start with the signs you need a roof replacement, then use the inspection checklist before and after storm season. If you have just had a new roof put on, read how to maintain it. Leave climbing to a contractor.
