Roof Restoration in Kearneys Spring

A 1970s suburb, and roofs to match

Kearneys Spring is a residential suburb about two kilometres south of central Toowoomba, dating from the 1970s and named after magistrate and alderman D.J. Kearney. It sits on the headwaters of Gowrie Creek, with a run of drive-in shopping centres along Ruthven Street. Many of its homes are brick with concrete tile roofs from the 1970s and 1980s, and those roofs are now at the age where a full restoration is due.

Signs your roof is due

• Tiles that look dull, patchy or covered in lichen.
• Cracked pointing along the ridges.
• Gutters rusting at the joints or overflowing.
• Leaks or damp patches in ceilings after storms.

A restoration replaces damaged tiles, repoints the ridges, and seals and coats the roof. Tile roof restoration has the detail.

Gutters of the same age

Gutters installed with the house are often near the end of their life too. Replacing them during a restoration makes sense while access is set up. See gutter replacement.

After hail

Toowoomba storms can bring hail, and older tiles crack more easily than new ones. After a big storm, a close inspection is worth it even if nothing shows inside. See hail damage roof repairs.
