Roofs on Forest Range homes
Forest Range is about 18 km east of the CBD, in the Adelaide Hills Council area. The Adelaide Hills Council area takes in leafy towns like Stirling, Aldgate, Crafers and Bridgewater, the country towns of Lobethal, Woodside, Gumeracha and Birdwood, and orchards, vineyards and rural blocks in between. It is cooler and wetter than the plains, tall trees drop leaves into gutters all year, and much of it is bushfire-prone.

What Forest Range roofs have to cope with
Hills roofs in Forest Range work harder than most. Leaves and bark pile up in gutters and valleys, where they hold water against the metal and give embers somewhere to land in summer. Shaded tiles stay damp and grow moss. Keeping gutters clear, fitting gutter guard and sealing gaps at the ridges and eaves goes a long way, and if the property has a bushfire attack level (BAL) rating, any new roof needs materials to suit it. Expect steep blocks and tricky access to add to the cost.
Before you book
Check three things before you book roof work in Forest Range. First, the licence: anyone contracting for building work in SA needs a building work contractor's licence, and jobs of $12,000 or more need a written contract. Second, approvals: repairs, restorations and like-for-like re-roofs usually don't need them. Third, what's on the roof: solar panels have to come off for most restorations and re-roofs, and an old grey fibre-cement roof may contain asbestos, which needs a licensed removalist for anything over 10 square metres.
Roofing questions from Forest Range

Do I need council approval for roof work in Forest Range?
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 Forest Range, development applications are assessed by the Adelaide Hills Council. The roofer quoting your job should tell you whether approval is needed.
How do I get my Forest Range 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.
