Browse Forums Renovation + Home Improvement 1 Mar 27, 2013 11:55 am hi everyone, we have bought a very old house and by the look of it we have some problems with the roof. It is leaking in few places. It is an old tile roof app 200 sq m. What would be the best option to replace the roof? Can someone please recommend a reliable roofer in Eastern Suburbs, NSW? Any thoughts or feedback on what roof tile is the best? Regards, Re: Re-Roofing Project 2Jul 28, 2013 8:43 am Hi there Brown. Did you want to go tiles or would you consider colorbond steel? My roof was 150 metres sq and was replaced from cement tiles to steel. Builder was very professional and cost about 13k but I did a little better negotiating. Included removal and disposal of old tiles, new timber battens, good quality blanket and full installation of new sheeting. Very happy with the job and took only a few days. You can call Ben on 0404075449. Here is the job.... Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Cheers Greg.

Cheers Tim My pleasure mate. Hope your experience is as good as mine. I took the opportunity to install a stack of Knauff Earth wool batts in the roof space while the roof was off. Made a huge difference temp wise and also its quiet during heavy rain. Got them from Harvey Norman Big Buys.... 29 bucks a bag. Cheapest place I could find. http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/95147 Good luck! Greg. I plan on installing an undercover walkway (awning ??) from my carport to the back door as shown in sketch.
