Local focus
Working in Manly
Manly has a bit of everything: Federation cottages and interwar bungalows, apartment blocks along the beach and the harbour, and modern homes on the hills of Fairlight and Balgowlah.
What they share is the salt air. Being so close to both the ocean and the harbour means fixings, flashings, gutters and metal roofs corrode faster than they would further inland.
Roofing work in Manly
Many of the leaks we are asked about in Manly come from rusted flashings around walls and chimneys, corroded gutters and box gutters, and older tiled roofs with cracked ridge capping.
For apartment buildings, roof and gutter work is usually common property, so we work with the strata manager or committee on access and approvals.
Before you start
Worth knowing before roof work in Manly
Heritage conservation areas
Parts of Manly are heritage conservation areas or contain heritage items. Changing a roof material or colour may need approval from Northern Beaches Council, so check early.
Strata buildings
In apartment buildings, roofs and gutters are usually common property. Work on them needs approval from the owners corporation or strata committee.
Parking and access
Narrow streets and limited parking near the beach make access part of planning any job. Skip bins or work zones on the road may need council approval.

Questions
Manly FAQs
Why do roofs near Manly Beach rust faster?
Salt carried in the air settles on the roof and is not always washed off by rain, especially under eaves and overlaps. Over time it corrodes fixings, flashings and some metal roofing products.
