- (1888PressRelease) September 22, 2010 - As of September 2010, Orbit Home Roofing have expanded into a larger office right in inner-city Sydney, where they are available to reach customers faster. At 1/5 Sydney St. Marrickville, they are well placed to meet the demand for roof repairs and roof restoration that increases as Sydney grows and continues to develop at a rapid pace.
There have been some big hailstorms and winds in Sydney lately, and Orbit Roofing say that one of the first things residents should do is to make sure they have a roof that can handle it.
"The purpose of a house is to protect family and property from the elements. Any good roof will handle UV, hail, moisture, torrential rains and vigorous storms without blowing away or leaking."
Dinah from Orbit Roofing also says that as roofs are generally out of sight and out of mind, they often don't receive inspection frequently enough.
"They should be checked for any dips or irregular lines, which could indicate a structural problem, checked for loose tiles and any that may have fallen to the ground, and metal roofs have their own indicators like rust, too many bends and poor workmanship that should be looked for. A sure sign that care hasn't been taken is poor placement of roof screws which should be lined up straight. Roof Sheets placed irregularly is a sign of hasty placement and future leaks."
Facts are that if it's likely that you need to re-roof your house, or you are building a new house, the first thing to find out is what materials ( that are available in the area ) are the best for the location, and suit the roof structure.
Slate and tile are Sydney's most popular roofs yet you would be hard pressed to not find an attached metal roof with them also. A combination often suits, but you should find out the properties of each, and get a roofer who deals with all materials so that everything will work correctly together. A metal roof has the advantage of lasting 40 - 50 years, and requires less wooden structure than for tile and slate. This is an advantage for bushfire areas similar to Sydney's Northern suburbs, as the woodwork is less dense.
With the increase in more-extreme weather conditions the last few years, Orbit Roofing suggest that all houses should have an emergency roof repair kit. This would include a large tarpaulin, plastic sheeting, hammer and long nails, duct tape, an industrial stapler and staples, medium ladder and a harness or a rope. Just these average items can hold the fort in an emergency, until the emergency service comes, and a roofer can fix the problem properly at a later time.
Having over 20 years experience in roofing, Orbit roofing are well aware of house safety and local council requirements for Sydney areas - bushfire regulations, guttering and rainwater specifications and all aspects of roof work. They are very easy to contact by phone - 02 9550 4473 or 0408 969 489 - and from the website.
