Working in Northern Beaches
The Northern Beaches is a great place to live, and a tough place for a roof. Salt spray, strong coastal winds, heavy summer storms and a lot of tall trees all work against roofs, gutters and flashings.
Vertex Sydney Roofing focuses on this stretch of coast and the suburbs behind it, from the beachside streets of Manly, Curl Curl and Narrabeen to the leafy plateau suburbs of Frenchs Forest, Belrose and Terrey Hills.
Roofing on the Northern Beaches
Close to the water, we see corroded fixings, rusted flashings and gutters, and metal roofs that need products suited to marine conditions. On exposed headlands and hillsides, wind lifts ridge caps, tiles and sheet ends.
Inland, in suburbs like Dee Why, Cromer, Forestville and Frenchs Forest, many homes still have their original tiled roofs from the 1960s and 1970s. Leaks from old tiles, valleys and ridge capping are common, and many owners are now choosing to re-roof in metal.

Before you start
Worth knowing before roof work on the Northern Beaches
Salt air and product choice
Roofing manufacturers set different product recommendations and warranty terms depending on how close a home is to breaking surf or salt water. We specify materials for your exact address.
Bushfire-prone land
Parts of the Northern Beaches border Garigal and Ku-ring-gai Chase national parks and are mapped as bushfire-prone. A bushfire attack level (BAL) can affect roofing, sarking and gutter protection requirements.
Steep blocks and access
Many homes sit on steep or narrow blocks, with access only from the street above or below. We plan access, materials delivery and safety at the inspection.
