Roofs on Macdonald Park homes
Macdonald Park is about 29 km north of the CBD, in the City of Playford. Playford includes Elizabeth, built from 1955 as a planned town with many South Australian Housing Trust homes, newer estates at Blakeview, Munno Para West, Andrews Farm, Angle Vale, Eyre and Riverlea Park, and semi-rural foothills properties around One Tree Hill and Uleybury. Some older homes in the area have asbestos cement in the roof, eaves or gutters, which needs licensed removal.

What Macdonald Park 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 Macdonald Park, 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
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. For everything else, the rules are simple. 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. Council approval usually isn't needed in Macdonald Park for repairs, restorations or a like-for-like re-roof. If you have solar panels, the quote should include an electrician to take them off and refit them.

In Macdonald Park, the biggest variables are usually the size and pitch of the roof, the number of storeys and how much ridge capping needs rebedding. See the cost guide.
Do I need council approval for roof work in Macdonald Park?
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 Macdonald Park, development applications are assessed by the City of Playford. The roofer quoting your job should tell you whether approval is needed.
Should I restore or replace my roof in Macdonald Park?
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.
