Roofs on Brown Hill Creek homes
Brown Hill Creek is about 7 km south-east of the CBD, in the City of Mitcham. Mitcham has two sides. On the plains, suburbs like Mitcham, Kingswood, Torrens Park, Hawthorn and Colonel Light Gardens are full of character homes with iron and terracotta roofs. Up the hill, Belair, Blackwood, Eden Hills and Coromandel Valley have sloping blocks, split-level homes, tall trees and bushfire risk.

What Brown Hill Creek roofs have to cope with
Brown Hill Creek is cooler and wetter than the plains, so tiles grow moss and lichen faster and tall trees fill gutters and valleys with leaves. Much of the area is bushfire-prone. Embers get in through gaps at the ridges, valleys and eaves, so sealing them, fitting gutter guard and keeping gutters clear are all worth doing. If your property has a bushfire attack level (BAL) rating, ask how it affects the materials for a new roof. Steep blocks can also mean extra scaffolding.
Before you book
If your home was built before about 1990 and has a grey fibre-cement roof, assume it may contain asbestos: more than 10 square metres must be removed by a licensed removalist. For everything else, the rules are simple. Make sure whoever you hire holds a South Australian building work contractor's licence and gives you a written contract for work of $12,000 or more. Council approval usually isn't needed in Brown Hill Creek for repairs, restorations or a like-for-like re-roof. Parts of the City of Mitcham are within Historic Area or Character Area Overlays under the Planning and Design Code. Like-for-like repairs are rarely an issue, but changing the roof's material, colour or shape where it can be seen from the street may need development approval. If you have solar panels, the quote should include an electrician to take them off and refit them.
