Someone told me that our roof is made of asbestos. Should I get it replaced asap?: If your asbestos roof is in good repair, there is no need to have it replaced as it does not pose a safety risk. However, if it’s leaking then it means there is damage and it requires repair. We can provide you with an on-site assessment and advise you whether your roof can be effectively repaired or needs replacing. At Advantage Roofing we repair, paint and replace fibro roofs.

A couple of other reasons why you should consider replacing your fibro roof are... to improve the value of your home (a fibro roof definitely reduces a house’s value) and at the present time the process of replacing fibro roofs is relatively inexpensive and the requirements via regulation are comparatively minor. But that may not always be the case as health concerns regarding asbestos continue to escalate.

Is insulating my new roof a good idea?: Yes! There are a number of good reasons why installing insulation at the same time as replacing your roof is a good idea. Firstly, insulation usually makes a significant difference to the comfort level of people homes (keeps your house up to 10 degrees warmer in winter & up to 7 degrees cooler in summer). Obviously this will help minimise your heating and air-conditioning costs. Secondly, installing insulation directly under the new roof sheeting means the insulation is out of the way, allowing safe access to the your roof cavity i.e. no insulation @ ceiling level obscuring the ceiling joists. Thirdly, insulation also acts as a noise barrier and condensation barrier. By the way, if you are not fully replacing your roof, insulation can be laid at ceiling level.

Is installing Gutterguard a wise investment?: If your home is located in a leafy area then most definitely!!! Installing gutterguard is smart preventative maintenance, stopping leaves clogging up your roof and downpipes, thereby reducing the risk of expensive flood damage in heavy storms. Not only that but you will save time and avoid possible injury by no longer having to regularly clear out your gutters!
