What Netherby roofs have to cope with
Many older homes in Netherby have corrugated iron roofs, front verandahs and box gutters, or terracotta tiles on interwar bungalows. Iron rusts first at the laps and fixings, box gutters block and overflow, and the join between the original roof and a rear extension is a common leak point. In historic areas, like-for-like iron in a traditional profile is usually the simplest path.
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 Netherby for repairs, restorations or a like-for-like re-roof. Parts of the City of Mitcham 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 Netherby?
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 Netherby, development applications are assessed by the City of Mitcham. Parts of the City of Mitcham 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.
Can I replace an old iron roof in Netherby with Colorbond?
Usually, yes. Like-for-like corrugated steel suits most older homes. If the house is heritage-listed or in a historic area, check whether the colour or profile needs approval before you order.
