Find the right starting point
You do not need to know the cause of a leak, choose a roofing material or prepare a technical brief before getting in touch. A description of your property, its suburb and the reason for your enquiry is a useful start. If you already have photographs taken safely from ground level or an earlier inspection report, you can mention these when you enquire.
District Roofing Solutions is a roofing enquiry and referral service. Our role is to review the basic information you provide and help make an introduction where a suitable independent contractor is available. Inspection, technical advice, quotations and roofing work are handled by that contractor directly.
Roof replacements and re-roofing
An ageing roof, recurring problems or a planned renovation may lead you to consider a replacement. A contractor can inspect the existing roof, discuss the condition of the materials and explain the scope of any proposed work. The right approach depends on the property; an enquiry does not assume that a complete replacement is necessary.
Our roof replacements page explains what to include when asking about re-roofing, replacement materials and inspection arrangements.
Roof repairs and leaks
A water stain, damaged tile or concern about roof sheets can be difficult to explain without specialist knowledge. Describe what you can see, when you first noticed it and whether it changes with the weather. You do not need to diagnose the problem yourself.
Visit roof repairs and leaks for help preparing an enquiry. A contractor will need to assess the property before confirming the cause, repair options or a price.
Storm-related roofing enquiries
If you have noticed damage after wind, hail or heavy rain, include the date of the storm and the visible changes to your roof or ceiling. Photographs taken from a safe position on the ground may help explain your concern. Do not climb onto the roof to collect information for an enquiry.
Our storm damage page explains the referral process. DRS is not an emergency response service, insurer or claims manager, and cannot promise an immediate inspection or an insurance outcome.
Metal, tile and slate roofs
The existing roof material is useful information when identifying a contractor suited to an enquiry. If you are unsure whether your roof is metal, tile or slate, say so rather than guessing. For a proposed material change, explain what you would like to achieve and let the contractor assess the implications for the property.
Read about metal, tile and slate roofing enquiries. Availability depends on the location, material and scope of the enquiry.
What happens after you enquire
DRS reviews your basic details and considers whether there is a suitable independent contractor for the enquiry. If a referral is arranged, the contractor contacts you about the property, inspection and scope. That business provides any quotation and contracting information. You decide whether to proceed.
Our focus is Brisbane and surrounding areas. Supplying your suburb helps us check suitability rather than assume coverage. Read how it works, or submit an enquiry when you are ready. An introduction does not commit you to roofing work.
