What Evanston Gardens roofs have to cope with
Many homes in Evanston Gardens are fairly new, so the roof itself is usually sound. The common jobs are leaks around pipes, vents and solar mounts, tiles cracked by installers walking on them, valleys that overflow in a downpour, and gutters and downpipes. If the home is still within the builder's warranty, talk to the builder about defects first.
Before you book
Most roof repairs, restorations and like-for-like re-roofs in Evanston Gardens don't need council approval. Parts of the Town of Gawler 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. 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. 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. And if you have solar panels, check the quote covers taking them off and putting them back.

Do I need council approval for roof work in Evanston Gardens?
Usually not for repairs, a restoration or a like-for-like re-roof. Changing the shape or structure of the roof, adding to it, or working on a heritage-listed home can need development approval, which in South Australia is lodged through the PlanSA portal. For Evanston Gardens, development applications are assessed by the Town of Gawler. Parts of the Town of Gawler 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. The roofer quoting your job should tell you whether approval is needed.
Should I restore or replace my roof in Evanston Gardens?
If the tiles or sheets are sound, a restoration is usually the better value. If tiles are breaking all over the roof, an iron roof has rusted through or the roof is asbestos cement, a new roof is the better spend. A roofer can tell you which after an inspection.
