Roofs on Willunga South homes
Willunga South is about 42 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 Willunga South 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 Willunga South, 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
Most roof repairs, restorations and like-for-like re-roofs in Willunga South don't need council 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.

In Willunga South, 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 Willunga South?
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 Willunga South, development applications are assessed by the City of Onkaparinga. The roofer quoting your job should tell you whether approval is needed.
Should I restore or replace my roof in Willunga South?
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.
