Roofing in the Adelaide Hills

The Adelaide Hills take in Stirling, Aldgate and Hahndorf along the South Eastern Freeway, Mount Barker beyond them, and Blackwood and Belair on the Mitcham Hills side. Higher rainfall, constant leaf litter from stringybarks and deciduous trees, moss on the shaded pitches and Bushfire Attack Level requirements make roofing here a different job from the plains.

The Adelaide Hills sit above the plains along the Mount Lofty Ranges, taking in Stirling, Aldgate and Hahndorf along the South Eastern Freeway, Mount Barker beyond them, and Blackwood and Belair on the Mitcham Hills side. Rainfall is well above the city, winters are cold with regular frost, and the trees never stop: stringybarks, oaks, elms and liquidambars fill gutters and valleys with leaf litter that rusts steel from beneath and feeds moss and lichen on south-facing tiles. The housing runs from 1850s stone cottages and heritage shopfronts under corrugated iron, through 1970s to 90s homes on sloping bush blocks under concrete tiles and Colorbond, to the new Colorbond estates around Mount Barker. Most of the region is bushfire-prone, so replacement roofs, gutter guards and eaves detailing must meet the property's Bushfire Attack Level. Steep sites and roofs high above the downhill side make scaffold and edge protection part of nearly every job.
