Common Strata Roof Problems We Solve

Strata roof repairs in Australia often involve a set of recurring issues that affect both the structure and safety of residential complexes. Our team at Five Star Roofing has spent years identifying and resolving these problems for strata managers and owners across NSW and QLD.

Chronic Roof Leaks & Water Ingress

Leaks are the leading cause of urgent strata roof repairs throughout the region. Even minor entry points, like cracked tiles or loose metal sheets, can cause water to spread far from where it infiltrates. This leads to mould, damaged ceilings, and sometimes even rot in support structures.

Our team uses precise detection methods to trace leaks and address root causes rather than just treating visible symptoms.

Gutter and Downpipe Blockages

Blocked or overflowing gutters bring on water pooling and internal damage, especially during storms. Debris like leaves or bird nests builds up quickly in shared strata buildings. We handle this with regular maintenance, system upgrades, and by installing reliable gutter guards specifically suited for large, multi-unit buildings to keep water flowing away from vulnerable roof areas.

Flashing & Roof Penetration Failures

Flashing around skylights, vents, and intersections is one of the most vulnerable parts of any strata roof. In Australia, UV and rain degrade flashing and sealants rapidly if not checked regularly.

We’ve found that much of the preventable damage comes from poorly installed or corroded flashings, so our repairs focus on durable materials and proper fit to stop leaks where they’re most likely to begin.

Roof Tile and Sheet Damage

Broken tiles on older buildings or corrosion and loose fixings on metal roofs often appear after storms or from overlooked small issues. Strata roof repairs here require more than just swapping out a few tiles or sheets.

We look at why tiles shift or become damaged, such as building movement or moss growth, and provide targeted replacement alongside preventive advice.

 

If your strata property faces any of these problems, Five Star Roofing is prepared to bring practical, lasting solutions based on decades of local experience. Reach out for an assessment and keep your roof performing as it should.

 

 

Our Licenses & Safety Standards For Starta Roof Repairs

At Five Star Roofing, we take licensing and safety seriously with every strata roof repair project across Australia. Our systems are designed to ensure compliance with all regulations and protect both the property and its residents.

Our customers trust us because we work transparently and consistently meet national and state requirements specific to strata works.

Strict Licensing for Strata Roofing

Our company maintains up-to-date public liability insurance, and all licence documentation is available for review on request. This level of compliance means you’re not exposed to any unnecessary legal or insurance risks when you work with us.

Compliant With Australian WHS Laws

When it comes to safety, our approach is thorough. Before starting any strata roof repair job, we perform a detailed site safety assessment to identify and control risks. Our team is trained and equipped to work safely at heights, use scaffolds, and set up barriers as needed for multi-storey work.

Oversight By Qualified Practitioners

For significant or complex strata roof repairs, our projects are overseen by qualified building practitioners who understand both local codes and sector-specific demands. When jobs require structural changes or impact waterproofing, we provide compliant plans prepared by registered design professionals.

This oversight ensures that every task, whether it’s metal or tile roofing, is carried out to the highest standard and in line with strata regulations.

Regular Inspections & Full Documentation

We complete and document every required inspection, before, during, and after roof works, so your owners corporation can demonstrate compliance if ever audited. Our reports cover the condition of tiles, metal sheets, flashings, downpipes, and more.

Maintenance Tips For Strata Roofs

Strata roof repairs in Australia require proactive, thorough maintenance to avoid costly issues and keep buildings safe. Our team at Five Star Roofing brings decades of experience working with strata managers and committees, and we understand what’s needed to stay on top of roof care.

Annual Inspections

Scheduling annual roof inspections is key. We check for cracked tiles, rusted metal, blocked vents, and hidden leaks, issues that can escalate quickly if missed. Our team knows the common weak points found across both tiled and metal strata roofs, and we provide detailed reports so you have a clear record for compliance and budgeting.

Gutter And Downpipe Cleaning

Gutters and downpipes often get overlooked, but blocked drainage is a leading cause of leaks in strata complexes. We recommend and perform professional cleaning several times a year, including after autumn and before storm season.

This simple upkeep from our strata roof repairs team can prevent water ingress and major disruptions for residents.

Roof Penetration Maintenance

Skylights, vents, and solar panels are potential leak sites if not properly maintained. Our technicians inspect all roof penetrations for deteriorated seals, rusted flashings, and loose fittings. Prompt repairs and post-installation checks ensure a watertight finish and extend the lifespan of the entire roofing system.

Thorough Documentation & Communication

We keep organised records of every inspection, maintenance task, and repair. Our process empowers committees to plan ahead and ensures compliance with legal or insurance requirements. Regular updates from our strata roof repairs specialists help everyone stay informed and minimise disruptions.

How We Work on Strata Roof Repairs

Strata roof repairs need special attention because they involve the entire building, not just one home. Here’s how our team at Five Star Roofing approaches every strata roof repair job, step by step.

Assess the Roof Thoroughly

We organise a detailed inspection of the roof, including leak checks and a review of any visible damage. Our team works with strata managers and the owners’ corporation to identify all issues, from water stains and broken tiles to worn guttering.

Explain Repair Needs Clearly

After our inspection, we report exactly what we’ve found with photos and straightforward advice. We outline repairs needed, any urgent risks, and options for repair versus replacement. This gives strata committees the clarity they need to decide, keeping everyone in the loop.

Plan With Minimal Disruption

We schedule and coordinate works so residents experience as little hassle as possible. Throughout, we maintain safety standards and provide updates, so everyone knows what’s happening from start to finish.

Start With Roof Repair & Restoration

With the plan agreed, our team gets to work repairing leaks, damaged tiles, flashings, or gutters as needed. We use proven methods and quality materials, always keeping safety a top priority for residents and our crew.

Conduct Quality Checks & Project Sign-Off

We finish by inspecting every repair to confirm durability and compliance. We then walk through the completed works with the strata representative, answer any questions, and supply a clear record for your building’s maintenance history.

Frequently Asked Questions

In general, roof restoration is recommended for strata properties when there are widespread signs of ageing, such as persistent leaks, faded or brittle materials, or deterioration affecting large roof sections. Simple repairs are best for localised issues like a few broken tiles or a single leak.

Restoration offers a middle ground, involving cleaning, recoating, and sealing, which renews the roof and can extend its lifespan by up to a decade. Prices for restoration in Australia vary greatly, but you can expect a general range of $45 to $95 per square metre, depending on roof type and extent of work.

We always carry out a full inspection so we can recommend the most cost-effective option. Reach out today for an honest assessment and tailored options for your strata building.

Strata roof repair costs in Australia usually range from $500 for minor leak fixes up to $50,000 or more for major roof replacements, depending on the scale and complexity. Pricing is determined by factors such as the height and size of the building, roof access, type of materials (tile or metal), extent of damage, and required safety measures or scaffolding.

Repairs for isolated issues like a few cracked tiles or small leaks are less expensive, while larger problems spread across multiple units or aged roofs can increase costs substantially.
Five Star Roofing ensures every quote is detailed, with transparent cost breakdowns and options so owners’ corporations can make informed decisions.

For an accurate estimate tailored to your strata building, reach out to us for a roof inspection and straightforward advice.

For most straightforward strata roof repairs in Sydney, council approval is not usually required if works involve like-for-like repairs to existing structures and materials. However, if the project includes significant changes (such as altering the roofline, adding skylights, or switching from tile to metal roofs), development approval or compliance with local regulations may be necessary.

The owners’ corporation should always check with their local council or strata manager before starting major works to avoid costly delays or penalties.

We’re familiar with Sydney councils’ policies and can assist with documentation, permits, and guidance to ensure everything goes smoothly. For dependable advice or a site assessment, reach out and let us help streamline the process for your strata building.

For most strata roof repairs, residents can expect varying levels of disruption depending on the scope of works. Minor repairs, like fixing a few leaks or replacing cracked tiles, are usually wrapped up within a day, with only short-term noise and limited access restrictions.

More extensive works such as partial or full roof replacements may take several days or even weeks, involving scaffolding, increased foot traffic, and elevated noise levels during working hours.
Reputable strata roofing specialists like Five Star Roofing always aim to minimise inconvenience by providing a detailed schedule, advance notice, and regular updates so residents know exactly what to expect at every stage.

If you’d like to better understand the potential impact and how we’ll manage disruptions for your building, just give us a call and we’ll talk you through the process.
