Iron and Tile Roof Repairs – Yagoona

During a recent repair at Yagoona we discovered the importance of using qualified tradesmen. We often receive calls relating to leaks in an area where the tiled roof meets an iron roof. When installed correctly a slash tray (custom made flashing) will fix most problems in this area.

Stage 1. After firstly removing the existing tray, a prime example of what not to do is demonstrated here where expandable foam filler has been used.
Stage 2. This traps any water trying to escape causing a damming effect, which results in the water dropping over the rear of the sheets penetrating internally.
Stage 3. After exposing the leak we remove the existing tray and foam. We also increase the turn up on the rear of the roofing sheets.
Stage 4. A longer custom made splash tray is carefully marked, cut and placed into position. By increasing the length of the tray this greatly reduces the chance of a recurring problem.
Stage 5. The tray is then screwed into position, the roof tiles relayed and the ridgecapping rebedded and repointed. This process is a relatively common roof repair undertaken by Roofline.
