Roofing in Brunswick
Brunswick's housing stock is unusually old for Melbourne. Victorian and Edwardian terraces along the Sydney Road spine, worker's cottages through the side streets, and Californian bungalows from the twenties filling in the gaps. A great deal of it is still under its original terracotta, which is now a hundred years old and behaving like it.
What we see here
The faults that come up most in Brunswick.
- Original terracotta with failed bedding at the ridge, the most common job we do here
- Rusted valley irons on terraces where two roof planes meet over a party wall
- Slate roofs that have been patched with mismatched tiles by previous owners
- Tight side access and no rear lane, which changes how a reroof gets staged
- Heritage overlay considerations on the older streets
