Roofs on Sellicks Hill homes
Sellicks Hill is about 46 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 Hill roofs have to cope with
Sellicks Hill 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
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 Hill 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.
Roofing questions from Sellicks Hill
Do you arrange roof quotes in Sellicks Hill?

Do I need council approval for roof work in Sellicks Hill?
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 Hill, development applications are assessed by the City of Onkaparinga. The roofer quoting your job should tell you whether approval is needed.
How do I get my Sellicks Hill 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.
