Roofs on North Haven homes
North Haven is about 19 km north-west of the CBD, in the City of Port Adelaide Enfield. Port Adelaide Enfield covers the historic port and seaside suburbs like Semaphore, Largs Bay, Birkenhead and Exeter, with their old cottages and villas, the beach suburbs of the Lefevre Peninsula, post-war homes in Enfield, Klemzig and Windsor Gardens, and newer communities at Lightsview, Northgate and Oakden. Salt air off the gulf and the Port River makes corrosion the main enemy of metal roofs here.

What North Haven roofs have to cope with
Roofs near the beach in North Haven have to cope with salt air and the afternoon sea breeze. Salt attacks screws, flashings and metal sheets first, especially on the parts of the roof that rain doesn't wash clean. BlueScope recommends COLORBOND Ultra steel for roofs about 100 to 200 metres from breaking surf, and stainless steel closer still. Strong winds also find loose ridge caps and lifted sheets, so keep the pointing and fixings in good order.
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 North Haven for repairs, restorations or a like-for-like re-roof. Parts of the City of Port Adelaide Enfield 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.
