Roofing Kyogle – Reliable Roof Specialists for Homes & Small Businesses

Need a reliable roof specialist in Kyogle. You are in the right place. Nathan Crake Roof Plumbing helps homeowners, builders and small commercial clients across the Northern Rivers with new roofs, re-roofs, leak repairs and ongoing maintenance. We keep things straightforward—clear advice, tidy workmanship and a roof that looks good from the street.

Kyogle weather can deliver hot sun, heavy rain, humidity and the occasional storm. A well-planned roof and drainage system can help your home handle the seasons with confidence. Whether you are building, renovating or sorting out leaks, our local crew is ready to help.

What we do

New roofing

Building a new home, shed, studio or secondary dwelling. We work from your plans, suggest materials and profiles, then install the full roof system. That includes sarking where specified, custom flashings, gutters and downpipes, so everything drains as it should.

Re roofing

If the old roof has reached the end of its life, we remove tired materials in stages, check the structure and install a fresh roof with updated underlay, valleys and flashings. The goal is a clean, weather-ready result with minimal fuss.

Tile roofing services

Concrete and terracotta tile supply and install, re-bedding and pointing, valley tray replacement and targeted repairs for cracked or slipped tiles.

Metal roofing services

Colorbond and Zincalume style roofs, from classic corrugated to contemporary ribbed profiles. We match profile to pitch, wind rating and the look you want.

Roof leak detection and repairs

We track down the actual cause, not just the symptom. That can include worn flashings, poor laps, blocked valleys, undersized outlets or old, improvised penetrations.

Gutters and downpipes

A roof only works as well as its drainage. We install matching gutters and downpipes, set falls and position outlets sensibly. Leaf guards can be fitted where they make sense.

Flashings and penetrations

Neat, custom flashings around skylights, chimneys, solar mounts, flues and vents. Proper flashing is the difference between a tidy roof and a recurring leak.

Roof plumbing for extensions

Adding a room, patio cover or carport. We tie new work into the existing roof, manage overflows and plan water paths so the addition looks right and performs as it should.

Roof maintenance and gentle cleaning

Valley and gutter clearing, light debris removal and small fixes that keep water moving and reduce surprises in the next storm.

Materials and profiles

We work with quality Australian roofing materials suited to local conditions.

• Tiles
  Concrete and terracotta in a range of colours and profiles. Great for classic street appeal and acoustic comfort.

• Metal
  Colorbond and similar coated steel finishes. Clean lines, broad colour range and straightforward care.

• Profiles
  Classic corrugated, trapezoidal ribbed panels and architectural standing seam inspired looks. We match profile to pitch, span and exposure.

Not sure what will suit. We bring profile charts and colour options to the site and help you visualise the result.

Local factors we plan around in Kyogle

• Heavy rainfall
  Storms can arrive fast. We size gutters and downpipes to help water move away efficiently and set outlets where they work best.

• Humidity and heat
  Underlay, ventilation and colour choice can influence comfort. We discuss options that may help your home feel better across the seasons.

• Wind exposure
  Ridge lines, building height and site position matter. We select fixings and patterns that suit your location.

• Surrounding trees
  Leaf drop can block valleys and gutters. We can fit sensible leaf guards and show you easy ways to keep water flowing.

• Bushfire considerations
  Some properties have a BAL rating. We work to the plans and the assessed level, including ember guard details and suitable mesh at openings where required.

Insulation, sarking and ventilation

A good roof system includes more than the outer layer.

• Sarking or underlay
  Helps with dust control and incidental moisture and provides a secondary barrier behind tiles or metal. We seal penetrations neatly.

• Insulation or blanket
  It can assist with warmer winters and cooler ceilings in summer. We can include insulation in your scope.

• Ventilation
  Roof spaces can store heat on still days. Passive vents or whirlybirds can help with airflow. We discuss what makes sense for your roof design.

Solar and services

Solar is common across the Northern Rivers. Neat cable penetrations, correct stands and tidy flashing around rails matter. If you plan to add solar now or later, we are happy to coordinate with your installer so the roof remains weather-ready. The same goes for flues and vents. Purpose-made flashings look cleaner and help reduce maintenance.

Rainwater harvesting

If you collect water, sheet layout, gutter fall and outlet positions are important. We keep gutters free draining, avoid ponding points and set leaf guards where they make sense. First flush diverters and accessible filters can make ongoing care simpler. A well-planned roof and gutter system encourages a steady, clean flow to tanks.

Our step-by-step process

1. Site visit and measure
   We check your roof or framing, confirm access and talk through materials, profile and colour, plus any extras you are considering.

2. Clear written scope
   You receive a straightforward plan that covers inclusions and the sequence of work. No jargon.

3. Preparation
   Roofs are staged so the home stays protected. On new builds, we confirm the extent and falls before tiles or sheets go on.

4. Installation
   Tiles are laid in an orderly pattern, or metal sheets are fixed with suitable fasteners at the correct spacing. Laps and joints are aligned and sealed where specified. We fabricate flashings to fit, then install gutters and downpipes with set falls and practical outlet positions.

5. Checks and tidy
   We walk the roof, look over the fixings and flashings and make sure water paths are clear. Then we remove offcuts, gather stray screws and leave things neat.

6. Handover and simple care tips
   We run through easy maintenance so you know how to look after the roof.

Common issues we correct

• Water tracking at laps.
  If laps are set poorly or run the wrong way, water can creep in. We correct direction and seal where specified.

• Undersized downpipes
  Heavy rain can overwhelm small outlets. We may suggest increasing capacity so water moves away more easily.

• Valleys that trap debris
  Valleys collect leaves in this region. We improve falls and, if needed, replace valley trays with new metal sets to the right pitch.

• Old improvised penetrations
  Antenna mounts and similar items can leave messy holes. We repair the area and flash properly.

• Loose or tired fixings
  Movement can slacken screws and loosen ridge work. We reset or replace as needed for a tidy finish.

Choosing colours and finishes

Colour sets the tone for your home. Soft greys and charcoals are popular across the Northern Rivers for both tile and metal roofs. Traditional terracotta tones suit heritage homes and country-style builds. We bring charts and samples so you can see options in natural light. If you are not sure what suits, we can show examples and suggest combinations that work with your brick, render or timber.

Simple maintenance tips

A little care goes a long way.

• Keep gutters and downpipes clear so water has a clear path.

• Trim back branches that drop heavy leaf loads or rub on the roof.

• After strong wind or hail, take a quick look around for broken tiles or lifted sheets and contact us if anything seems out of place.

• Try to avoid walking on tiles unless necessary, and step carefully where support is strongest if access is required.

• If you plan a new penetration, let us handle it so flashing is neat and water sheds properly.

Prefer a set-and-forget approach. We can book periodic checks and a pre-wet season tidy.

Frequently asked questions

Can you replace my old tile roof with metal or fresh tiles?
Yes. We handle both tile-to-tin conversions and new tile roofs. We will talk you through the materials and the sequence of work.

Do you help with colour and profile selection?
Absolutely. We bring samples, explain differences and help you choose a combination that suits your home and local conditions.

Will I need to leave the house during a re-roof?
Most clients stay home. There will be some noise and access areas while we work. We explain the plan before we begin.

Do you install gutters and downpipes as well?
Yes. Doing the drainage with the roof often gives the best outcome. Everything lines up and performs properly from day one.

Can you coordinate with my solar installer?

How long does the job take
