Mid-Life Roofs on Rising Ground
Concrete tile lasts well, but its surface coat wears, and ridge pointing cracks with age. Many Summerhill roofs have reached that stage together.
Newer infill homes on subdivided blocks tend to have metal roofs with their own needs, such as box gutters and tight junctions.

Older Homes and New Infill Side by Side
As larger blocks have been divided up, older tile-roofed homes now often sit alongside newer metal-roofed houses. Rear lots may have narrow driveways, so we check how to get materials in.
Rising ground also means some roofs can be reached easily from the high side, while others need more equipment.

Questions
Summerhill Roofing: Questions
Is it worth restoring a tile roof of this age?
Often, if the tiles and battens are still sound. If tiles are soft or breaking, your money is better put toward a new roof.
What happens to my solar panels during roof work?
They may need to be removed and refitted by a qualified installer. We coordinate this when required.
Why are there bits of tile in my gutter?
Fine grit is often the worn surface of concrete tiles. It is a good sign that the roof needs inspecting.
Can you get tiles to match?
Common profiles are often available. If not, a nearby tile from a less visible roof section can sometimes be swapped.
