Roofs on Klemzig homes
Klemzig was one of the earliest German settlements in South Australia, and today has post-war homes and plenty of newer infill.
Klemzig is about 7 km north-east of the CBD, in the City of Port Adelaide Enfield. Port Adelaide Enfield covers the historic port and seaside suburbs like Semaphore, Largs Bay, Birkenhead and Exeter, with their old cottages and villas, the beach suburbs of the Lefevre Peninsula, post-war homes in Enfield, Klemzig and Windsor Gardens, and newer communities at Lightsview, Northgate and Oakden. Salt air off the gulf and the Port River makes corrosion the main enemy of metal roofs here.

What Klemzig roofs have to cope with
Adelaide summers regularly pass 40°C, and the heat and UV break down roof coatings and the pointing along the ridges. Summer storms then find any weak spot. On an older tiled roof in Klemzig, a check of the ridge capping, valleys and broken tiles every few years catches small problems before they turn into a leak.
Before you book
Check three things before you book roof work in Klemzig. First, the licence: anyone contracting for building work in SA needs a building work contractor's licence, and jobs of $12,000 or more need a written contract. Second, approvals: repairs, restorations and like-for-like re-roofs usually don't need them. Parts of the City of Port Adelaide Enfield 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. Third, what's on the roof: solar panels have to come off for most restorations and re-roofs, and an old grey fibre-cement roof may contain asbestos, which needs a licensed removalist for anything over 10 square metres.

Do I need council approval for roof work in Klemzig?
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 Klemzig, development applications are assessed by the City of Port Adelaide Enfield. Parts of the City of Port Adelaide Enfield 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.
Should I restore or replace my roof in Klemzig?
If the tiles or sheets are sound, a restoration is usually the better value. If tiles are breaking all over the roof, an iron roof has rusted through or the roof is asbestos cement, a new roof is the better spend. A roofer can tell you which after an inspection.
