Roofers Invermay Cottages and Workshops Depend On
The best roofers in Invermay understand that the suburb mixes old cottages with sheds and workshops. It sits on the low ground where the North Esk and the kanamaluka/Tamar meet, protected by levees.
Older iron, low-pitched lean-tos and long industrial roofs are all common here. Each one needs a different approach.
- Cottages and lean-tos
- Workshops and warehouses
- Drainage checked

Roofing on the River Flats
Many Invermay cottages are small and have been extended at the back with low-pitched sections. Those shallow roofs are often where leaks begin.
Being on flat ground also means water has nowhere to go quickly. Downpipes and stormwater connections deserve a look along with the roof.

Local conditions
What the Low Ground Means for a Roof
Invermay is one of the most flood-prone areas in Tasmania and relies on its levee system, so owners here are used to thinking about water. Roofs are a separate matter, but good drainage away from the building still counts.
If your home has been raised or rebuilt, we check how later roof sections connect to the original structure.

Questions
Invermay Roofing: Questions
Why does my rear addition always leak?
Low-pitched sections may not have enough fall for their sheet profile, or the joint with the house may have failed. We will check both.
Can you work around my workshop's hours?
Yes, within reason. Tell us when the loud or disruptive work would be least inconvenient.
Are old skylights risky?
Yes. Aged sheets can be brittle and may not take any weight, so they are identified and protected before work starts.
Is a metal roof a good choice for a cottage?
Usually. It suits the style of many timber cottages and is light on older frames.
