When Replacement Makes More Sense Than Repair
Townsville’s heavy rain, intense heat, and cyclone seasons put your roof under pressure, so even a once-solid roof eventually reaches the point where repairs are no longer possible.
You’re better off replacing when there is:
- Widespread rust and corrosion
- Structural damage from storms or cyclones
- Recurring leaks despite repairs
- A roof nearing the end of its lifespan of 25-30 years
- The need for better insulation and energy efficiency
To be 100% sure whether you need a repair or replacement, get your roof inspected by our team. At 1touch Plumbing, we give you a clear, honest assessment and recommend replacement only when necessary.
How Our Roof Replacement Process Works
A roof replacement is a big job, and we do our best to keep everything organised and clear from the first call to the last sign-off. This is how 1touch handles it:
- Initial Contact and Booking: Call us on 07 4751 7600 or fill out this online form. We’ll get in touch ASAP and ask a few quick questions about your roof, leaks, damage, or age, and book a convenient inspection time.
- On-site Roof Inspection and Quote: Our team comes at the agreed time, thoroughly inspects your roof, and within 24-48 hours, you get an itemised flat-rate quote. This includes removal of the old roof, council disposal fees, premium Colorbond materials, cyclone-rated fittings, insulation and any structural repairs.
- Safe Removal and Preparation: Once you accept our quote, we strip your old roof, section by section, and inspect the timber or steel framing beneath for any hidden water damage or weak points. We fix any structural issues on the spot so your new roof sits on a solid foundation.
- Installation: We then install your new Colorbond metal roof with heavy-duty, cyclone-rated fittings designed for Townsville weather conditions. Our crew screws all flashings, valley irons and ridge cappings together and seals every penetration point to ensure a watertight finish.
- Sign-Off: We complete a final check to ensure everything is done properly and clean the site, leaving your home spotless. We then provide all photos, reports, and certifications for insurance, compliance, and your records.
