Suburb · greater Brisbane
Dense inner-city living with a high concentration of pre-war housing, Queenslanders and interwar brick, on small blocks with mature street trees.
Brisbane Roof Repairs puts New Farm property owners in touch with licensed QBCC roofers working across greater Brisbane. Tell us the roof type and what you're seeing and we'll match it to someone who covers your area — free call, no obligation.
Pre-war timber homes with terracotta or early concrete tile, and interwar walk-up blocks that mostly run low-pitch tile or later metal re-roofs. Mature street trees drop heavily into gutters year round, which is the single most common cause of overflow complaints here.
What comes up most around New Farm: roof repairs, leak repairs, tile roofs. Prewar stock, so that mix is typical for the area.
New Farm is inside the Brisbane City Council area, so those rules apply.
QBCC licensing is set at state level, so it's identical here: a licensed contractor for building work over $3,300, and a licensed person for any guttering or stormwater work whatever it costs.
An inspection and written report is $150 to $400 and usually comes off the work. Most repairs land between $300 and $3,500; a re-roof runs $15,000 to $35,000.
No obligation. Takes 30 seconds.
Leaks, broken tiles, lifted sheeting and the damage you can't see from the ground.
Tracing a leak to its actual source rather than patching where the stain is.
Terracotta and concrete tile — broken tiles, ridge capping and valley irons.
Written reports for insurance claims, pre-purchase and post-storm.
