Roofs on Glandore homes
Glandore is about 5 km south-west of the CBD, in the City of Marion, with part of the suburb in the City of West Torrens. Marion runs from the inner south to the coast at Hallett Cove. Edwardstown, Ascot Park and Mitchell Park have plenty of post-war homes; Hallett Cove, Sheidow Park and Trott Park were mostly built from the 1970s to the 1990s; Seacombe Heights and Seaview Downs sit on the slopes facing the coast; and Tonsley has new townhouses. A lot of the area's tiled roofs are now 30 to 50 years old.

What Glandore roofs have to cope with
Adelaide summers regularly pass 40°C, and the heat and UV break down roof coatings and the pointing along the ridges. Summer storms then find any weak spot. On an older tiled roof in Glandore, a check of the ridge capping, valleys and broken tiles every few years catches small problems before they turn into a leak.
Before you book
Check three things before you book roof work in Glandore. 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 Glandore

How much does a roof restoration cost in Glandore?

In Glandore, the biggest variables are usually the size and pitch of the roof, the number of storeys and how much ridge capping needs rebedding. See the cost guide.
Do I need council approval for roof work in Glandore?
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 Glandore, development applications are assessed by the City of Marion. The roofer quoting your job should tell you whether approval is needed.
Should I restore or replace my roof in Glandore?
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.
