Crestmead sits on the western side of the old core, between Marsden and Browns Plains, and the housing is the same generation of single-storey brick and concrete tile that defines the middle of Logan. Roofs here went on decades ago with rigid cement ridge mortar, and the mortar has done what rigid mortar always does.
The useful thing about a suburb built in a short window is that a roofer can tell you what they expect to find before they climb up, and usually be right. Cracked and missing pointing along the ridges. Caps that have moved. Tile surfaces worn down to a porous grey that lichen likes. Valleys with rust showing at the laps. Gutters carrying more sediment than they should.
A restoration deals with the lot in one sequence: clean, repair the tiles, rebed and repoint, then seal and coat. If you only do one thing, do the pointing. It is the part that is actually letting water in.
Crestmead has a mix of owner-occupied and investment housing, and it also has a working industrial area, which matters in a small way for roofs: airborne grime settles and dulls a coating a little faster than it would in a quiet residential pocket. That is a reason to budget for a clean between coatings rather than a reason to coat more often.
In Queensland, building work valued over $3,300 generally requires a QBCC licensed contractor. Ask for the licence number on the quote and check it on the QBCC register. Any gutter or downpipe work connected to the stormwater drainage needs a plumbing licence whatever its value.
Frequently asked questions
How do I compare two roof restoration quotes?
Line by line, not bottom line by bottom line. Check whether each quote includes the clean, the tile repairs, the rebedding, a sealer coat and two top coats, plus edge protection. The cheap quote is usually missing one of those.
Is a cracked tile urgent?
It is not an emergency, but it is not something to leave for a year either. Tiles overlap to shed water, and a crack in the wrong place sends water onto the sarking or into the cavity during the next heavy downpour.
Do you do the work yourselves?
No. This is a referral service. We pass your job to one of the experienced, insured local roofers we work with, and they quote and deal with you directly.
