Roofs on Hackham West homes
Hackham West is about 25 km south of the CBD, in the City of Onkaparinga. Onkaparinga is Adelaide's largest council. It covers beachside suburbs from Christies Beach to Sellicks Beach, foothills suburbs built from the 1970s to the 1990s such as Aberfoyle Park, Flagstaff Hill, Happy Valley and Woodcroft, newer estates around Seaford and Aldinga, and the McLaren Vale wine region townships. Many of the foothills homes have concrete tile roofs that are due for attention.

What Hackham West roofs have to cope with
The biggest enemy of roofs in Hackham West is the summer sun. Years of heat and UV fade concrete tiles, wear away their coating and crack the mortar under the ridge caps. Then a summer storm or a wet winter finds the gaps. Leaves and dust in the gutters and valleys make overflows more likely, so a clean-out and a quick roof check every few years is cheap insurance.
Before you book
Check three things before you book roof work in Hackham West. 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.

Do I need council approval for roof work in Hackham West?
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 Hackham West, development applications are assessed by the City of Onkaparinga. The roofer quoting your job should tell you whether approval is needed.
Should I restore or replace my roof in Hackham West?
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.
