Project Overview

Spark Roofing & Guttering completed a large roof replacement in Mayfield, Newcastle, after years of ongoing leaks caused by a poorly installed tin roof. The existing roof had incorrect flashing details and inconsistent sheet fixing, allowing water ingress during heavy rain—an issue common in older Newcastle homes exposed to strong coastal weather.

The owners chose a full reroofing solution in Mayfield NSW to permanently resolve leaks, improve insulation and ensure the home met modern roofing standards. Our team carefully assessed the structure and recommended a complete roof replacement using premium COLORBOND® steel.

Our Solution

We removed the defective roof and installed a new 400-square tin strip roof in COLORBOND® Basalt, a durable and low-maintenance roofing option ideal for homes across Newcastle and Lake Macquarie.

The project included:

• Full removal of the poorly installed roof
• New compliant flashings and penetrations
• Long-run COLORBOND® Basalt roofing sheets
• Correct fixing and spacing to Australian standards
• Improved insulation for thermal efficiency
• Every detail was checked to ensure a fully weather-tight roofing system built for Newcastle’s heavy rain, wind and coastal air conditions.

Results

The new roof eliminated long-standing leaks and delivered a strong, modern finish with excellent durability and energy efficiency. The building inspector gave the project a big tick for compliance and workmanship, and the clients were delighted with the professional result.
