Roofs on Belair homes
Belair sits in the hills beside Belair National Park, with sloping blocks and homes ranging from 1970s split-levels to modern builds.
Belair is about 10 km south-east of the CBD, in the City of Mitcham. Mitcham has two sides. On the plains, suburbs like Mitcham, Kingswood, Torrens Park, Hawthorn and Colonel Light Gardens are full of character homes with iron and terracotta roofs. Up the hill, Belair, Blackwood, Eden Hills and Coromandel Valley have sloping blocks, split-level homes, tall trees and bushfire risk.

What Belair roofs have to cope with
Belair is cooler and wetter than the plains, so tiles grow moss and lichen faster and tall trees fill gutters and valleys with leaves. Much of the area is bushfire-prone. Embers get in through gaps at the ridges, valleys and eaves, so sealing them, fitting gutter guard and keeping gutters clear are all worth doing. If your property has a bushfire attack level (BAL) rating, ask how it affects the materials for a new roof. Steep blocks can also mean extra scaffolding.
Before you book
Most roof repairs, restorations and like-for-like re-roofs in Belair don't need council approval. Parts of the City of Mitcham are within Historic Area or Character Area Overlays under the Planning and Design Code. Like-for-like repairs are rarely an issue, but changing the roof's material, colour or shape where it can be seen from the street may need development approval. Make sure whoever you hire holds a South Australian building work contractor's licence and gives you a written contract for work of $12,000 or more. If your home was built before about 1990 and has a grey fibre-cement roof, assume it may contain asbestos: more than 10 square metres must be removed by a licensed removalist. And if you have solar panels, check the quote covers taking them off and putting them back.

Do I need council approval for roof work in Belair?
Usually not for repairs, a restoration or a like-for-like re-roof. Changing the shape or structure of the roof, adding to it, or working on a heritage-listed home can need development approval, which in South Australia is lodged through the PlanSA portal. For Belair, development applications are assessed by the City of Mitcham. Parts of the City of Mitcham are within Historic Area or Character Area Overlays under the Planning and Design Code. Like-for-like repairs are rarely an issue, but changing the roof's material, colour or shape where it can be seen from the street may need development approval. The roofer quoting your job should tell you whether approval is needed.
How do I get my Belair roof ready for bushfire season?
Clear leaves out of gutters and valleys, and check for gaps at the ridges, valleys and eaves where embers could get in. Gutter guard and ember sealing can be quoted on their own or with a restoration.
