Representative Brisbane inspection of tile and metal roof types

ROOF TYPES BRISBANE

Tile and metal roofs need different repair thinking

The visible symptom may look similar indoors, but the exterior details, materials and safe repair scope can be very different.

TILE ROOFS

Concrete and terracotta tile roof problems

Typical investigation points include broken or slipped tiles, ridge capping, valleys, flashing, penetrations and the path water takes beneath the tile surface.

  • Cracked, chipped or missing tiles
  • Loose ridge capping or deteriorated pointing
  • Valley and flashing leaks
  • Storm or debris impact

METAL ROOFS

Metal sheet, fixing and flashing problems

Typical investigation points include fasteners and washers, sheet laps, flashings, roof penetrations, local corrosion and weather damage.

  • Loose or failed roof fasteners
  • Corrosion and rust staining
  • Sheet lap or flashing leaks
  • Lifted or damaged roofing after wind

NOT SURE WHICH PAGE?

Describe the roof rather than guessing the repair

If you do not know the roof material or leak source, send a clear ground-level photo and explain when the issue appears. An inspection request is a better starting point than choosing a repair method yourself.
