Roofs on Sellicks Beach homes
Sellicks Beach is about 47 km south of the CBD, in the City of Onkaparinga. Onkaparinga is Adelaide's largest council. It covers beachside suburbs from Christies Beach to Sellicks Beach, foothills suburbs built from the 1970s to the 1990s such as Aberfoyle Park, Flagstaff Hill, Happy Valley and Woodcroft, newer estates around Seaford and Aldinga, and the McLaren Vale wine region townships. Many of the foothills homes have concrete tile roofs that are due for attention.

What Sellicks Beach roofs have to cope with
Salt is the main problem for roofs in Sellicks Beach. It settles on the roof with every sea breeze, and it does the most damage where rain doesn't rinse it off: under the overhangs, on gutters and around screws. Cheap fixings rust first and stain the sheets around them. For metal roofs close to the water, BlueScope recommends COLORBOND Ultra steel roughly 100 to 200 metres from breaking surf and stainless steel closer still, and the screws and flashings should match. On tiled roofs, the ridge pointing and flashings are what need watching.
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 Sellicks Beach 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.

Do I need council approval for roof work in Sellicks Beach?
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 Sellicks Beach, development applications are assessed by the City of Onkaparinga. The roofer quoting your job should tell you whether approval is needed.
What's the best roof near the beach in Sellicks Beach?
Tiles cope well with salt air as long as the ridge capping and flashings are kept in good order. For metal roofs, BlueScope recommends COLORBOND Ultra steel roughly 100 to 200 metres from breaking surf and stainless steel within about 100 metres, with compatible screws and flashings.
