Roofs on Flaxley homes
Flaxley is about 31 km south-east of the CBD, in the Mount Barker District Council area. The Mount Barker district is one of the fastest-growing areas in South Australia, with large new estates in Mount Barker, Littlehampton and Nairne, the historic town of Hahndorf, and rural-living properties around Macclesfield, Echunga and Meadows. It is cooler and wetter than the plains, and much of it is bushfire-prone.

What Flaxley roofs have to cope with
Flaxley 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 Flaxley for repairs, restorations or a like-for-like re-roof. Parts of the Mount Barker District Council area 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.

Do I need council approval for roof work in Flaxley?
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 Flaxley, development applications are assessed by the Mount Barker District Council. Parts of the Mount Barker District Council area 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.
How do I get my Flaxley roof ready for bushfire season?
Clear leaves out of gutters and valleys, and check for gaps at the ridges, valleys and eaves where embers could get in. Gutter guard and ember sealing can be quoted on their own or with a restoration.
