Cyclone Althea in 1971 helped change how houses in northern Australia are built, and Cyclone Yasi in 2011 tested them again. Even so, plenty of older Townsville homes still need work on what holds the roof down. Townsville is in Cyclone Region C and has long dry stretches broken by huge wet-season rain, as the 2019 monsoon showed, so the sheets, fixings and drainage all have a job to do. We check all of it when we re-roof. Call 1300 606 955 or ask for a free quote and we’ll book in your inspection.
We use high-performance materials selected for your site. Heat and cyclone wind are the two big factors in Townsville, so we talk through colour and fixing as well as steel grade.
COLORBOND® steel (Classic finish) — the go-to steel, with lighter colours that help under Townsville’s sun.
COLORBOND® Ultra steel — the upgrade for homes on the water, such as around the Strand and Pallarenda.
ZINCALUME® steel — practical bare-metal sheeting for sheds and rural buildings.
From Kirwan to Annandale, we’ll give you practical advice on what your Townsville roof needs before the next wet season, and what can wait.
