Trades in Dapto
Dapto sits back off the western side of Lake Illawarra, and a lot of it went up as brick and tile between the sixties and the eighties. That housing stock is arriving at the same maintenance age all at once.
Trades you can count on in Dapto
Tiled roofs are most of what we get called out to here — capping that has cracked through, slipped tiles, and the ceiling stains that follow both.
You deal with the same person from the first call to the last.
Do you need a licensed roofer in Dapto?
That depends on the job rather than the roof. A full roof replacement needs a licensed contractor, and any work on gutters, downpipes, metal roofing or flashings is roof plumbing, a separate trade, so we refer both on; tiled roof repairs valued under the NSW licensing threshold are work we take on ourselves.
- What that covers in Dapto: ridge capping re-bedded and repointed, slipped and broken tiles replaced, and leaks traced back from the stain inside to where the water is actually getting in.
- NSW requires a contractor licence once residential building or trade work is valued at more than $5,000 in labour and materials including GST. Tile and capping repairs sit under that figure, and that is the end of the work we take on.
- Gutters, downpipes, metal roofing and flashings are roof plumbing in NSW, which is a different trade category with its own qualification. We do not quote it at any value, and a metal roof is a roof plumber's job from the start.
