Roofing in Salisbury
Salisbury's older streets were built out through the 1950s and 60s, much of it public and first-home housing, with plenty of later infill since. That gives a wide mix of roofs within a few blocks: original concrete and terracotta tile, early metal, and newer Colorbond on the rebuilds.
Salisbury roofs / what we see
On the older homes, the decision is usually between restoring the existing tiles and converting to metal. A tile-to-Colorbond conversion removes a lot of weight from the frame and gives the chance to add sarking, which many roofs of this age were built without. We price both where both make sense.
Some homes from this period have asbestos-cement products in the eaves, outbuildings or older roof sheeting. We point them out at inspection; if they need to come off, that part is done by a licensed asbestos removalist before our crew starts.
