A beautiful home in Roslyn, NSW – which was once an overnight staging post for the Cobb & co stage coach,
We completely re-clad their flat roof. The original bitumen membrane had failed allowing water to enter the roof space every time it rained.
On this job our approach was to:
- Remove the old membrane were ever it was flaky or lose
- Re-apply a new bitumen membrane over the top of the existing one
- Install 1.6mm galvanized sheeting and flashing across the entire roof space
The new roof cladding was then painted with 2 coats of SolarGuard

Flashing’s around the existing sky lights
Every sheet and flashing over lap was made with at least 100mm overlap and then screwed & pop riveted down
Each overlap was first coated in silicone sealant under each joint in order to ensure a water tight overlap.
Prior to installing the sheeting and membrane we first constructed a raised valley system so was to ensure the roof had a fall built into it to enable water run off.
We also flashed up the walls of the adjoining roofs.
What was once a leaky roof was now water tight and fit for years of service.
