Our 5-Step Roof Sarking Installation Process

1. Roof Inspection & Detailed Assessment

We assess your roof's current condition, pitch, framing structure, existing ventilation, and any areas of concern such as damaged battens, deteriorated tiles, or existing moisture.

2. Selecting the Right Sarking Product

All materials we supply meet Australian Standards (AS 4200.1 & AS 4200.2) and are suitable for Newcastle's coastal conditions, providing durability against UV exposure, wind uplift, and moisture.

3. Tile or Sheet Removal & Roof Preparation

Our team carefully removes tiles or metal sheeting in a systematic manner to protect them from damage and allow for easy reinstatement.

4. Sarking Installation & Securing

The sarking membrane is laid horizontally across the rafters, starting from the eaves and working up towards the ridge. Each row is overlapped by a minimum of 150mm (as required by Australian Standards).

5. Tile Reinstatement, Final Inspection & Sign-Off

Our team conducts a final quality inspection of the entire roof. We ensure the roof is fully weatherproof and compliant before leaving the site.

Frequently Asked Questions About Roof Resarking

What is roof sarking and why do we need it?

Roof sarking is a reflective foil layer we install under your roof tiles or metal roofing. It acts as a second line of defense against water penetration, helps with thermal insulation, and prevents dust and wind-driven rain from entering your roof space. We recommend it because it can significantly extend your roof's lifespan and improve your home's energy efficiency.

How long does your roof sarking installation take?

For an average-sized home in Newcastle, we can complete roof sarking installation within 2-3 days, weather permitting. If we're installing sarking as part of a complete roof replacement, it may take 4-5 days total. We'll provide you with a specific timeframe during your free quote.

Can you install sarking on an existing roof?

While it's ideal to install sarking during a new roof installation or replacement, we can retrofit sarking to existing roofs in most cases. However, this process requires removing your current roofing material first, which affects the overall cost and timeline of the project.

What type of sarking do you use?

We use high-quality, heavy-duty reflective foil sarking that meets Australian Standards (AS/NZS 4200). Our sarking materials are fire-resistant and come with superior water resistance properties. We'll select the most appropriate type for your specific roof design and local weather conditions.

Does roof sarking really make a difference to home temperature?

Yes, it does! Our roof sarking can reduce heat transfer by up to 95% and help lower your energy bills by keeping your home cooler in summer and warmer in winter. In Newcastle's variable climate, this can make a significant difference to your home's comfort and energy efficiency.
