Nowra’s homes and businesses, set between bushland and coastline, deal with a range of roofing challenges that require reliable solutions. Our team spends a lot of time working on both newer builds and older properties, so we’ve seen the full range of roofing issues that crop up here.
Below are some of the most common roof problems we’re called out to solve in and around Nowra:
Leaking is one of the most common complaints we handle during and after big storms. Faulty flashing, broken tiles, and worn sealants are frequent sources, and it doesn’t take long for water to find a way inside.
A slow drip can go unnoticed in roof cavities or behind walls for a while, eventually causing swelling, warped wood, or mould patches. Early detection helps limit the damage, so we always recommend calling if you spot any water where it shouldn’t be.
Our team pinpoints and repairs even the smallest leaks to keep your property dry and protected.
Plenty of Nowra properties have metal roofs because they’re durable and suit the local climate. Over time, though, corrosion can develop, especially around fixings and exposed edges.
Gutter problems are also common, from blockages caused by leaves to ageing guttering pulling away from the fascia. Left unchecked, rust can spread and holes can develop, putting the whole system at risk.
We take care of cleaning, rust treatment, and replacing sections before they turn into bigger headaches.
A lot of roofs around Nowra, especially those shaded by trees or facing south, end up with moss or lichen growing on tiles. These patches hold moisture and, over time, can break down the surface of your tiles or even make them slippery and unsafe.
We see it most often on older terracotta or concrete roofs, but any property with poor sun exposure can be affected. Left too long, the buildup can block gutters or push water back under the tiles, leading to leaks inside.
We deal with this by cleaning and treating the roof, which also helps slow the regrowth and keeps your roof looking tidy.
Another common problem for local homes is a lack of proper roof ventilation. Without enough airflow through the roof space, heat and moisture can build up inside, especially during warmer months.
This can raise your household temperatures, put more strain on insulation and even encourage mould growth. We’re often called in to assess stuffy, hot roof spaces and suggest improvements like installing whirlybirds or updating vents.
This sort of upgrade doesn’t just protect your roof structure, it makes your whole home more comfortable and energy efficient.

We understand that looking after your roof in Nowra can raise a lot of questions, whether it’s about materials, council requirements, or handling Nowra’s unique weather and housing mix.
The FAQs below cover the main concerns we hear from locals and offer insight into what to expect when working with Five Star Roofing.
Costs for roof repair or restoration in Nowra generally range between $3,000 for minor repairs on a smaller roof up to around $15,000 for a full restoration on a larger property.
That price can vary depending on whether your home has tile or metal roofing, the extent of storm or age-related damage, and if guttering or ventilation upgrades are needed.
At Five Star Roofing, we always offer a free onsite assessment so you know exactly what’s required for your type of home, whether it’s an older heritage property or a new roof.
You’ll get a clear, itemised quote to help you make a confident decision, and we’ll also talk you through any preventative maintenance that could save you money down the track.
In most cases, general roof repairs in Nowra do not require council approval as long as the work doesn’t alter the structure or building footprint.
However, if you’re planning a full roof replacement, especially on a heritage-listed property or if you’re changing materials (for example, switching from tile to metal roofing), you may need permission from Shoalhaven City Council.
At Five Star Roofing, we always recommend checking with council if you’re unsure, and we’re happy to guide you through the process so your project starts on the right foot.
We have plenty of experience dealing with older Nowra homes and can communicate with council or assist with applications if your job falls into a regulated category.
