Roofs on Modbury North homes
Modbury North is about 14 km north-east of the CBD, in the City of Tea Tree Gully. Tea Tree Gully is family-home country. Most houses were built between the 1960s and the 1990s, including the master-planned suburbs of Golden Grove, Wynn Vale and Greenwith, with the older township and foothills streets to the east. Concrete tile roofs from that era are the bread and butter of roofers here.

What Modbury North roofs have to cope with
The biggest enemy of roofs in Modbury North 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
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 Modbury North for repairs, restorations or a like-for-like re-roof. 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 Modbury North?
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 Modbury North, development applications are assessed by the City of Tea Tree Gully. The roofer quoting your job should tell you whether approval is needed.
Should I restore or replace my roof in Modbury North?
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.
