Parkerville is a bush village on the Mundaring chain, with large blocks, heavy canopy and the name most of Perth knows from the 2014 Perth Hills bushfire. Like the great majority of the Shire of Mundaring, it sits inside WA's designated bushfire prone area.
That is stated here as a fact about the place, not as a reason to buy anything. No roof work makes a house bushfire safe, and nothing on this site should be read as saying it does.
We connect you with roof restoration specialists who work the Hills villages and know what a mature jarrah and marri canopy does to a tile roof.
What a restoration involves
- Clear the valleys and gutters of bark, leaf and marri nuts, then pressure clean the whole roof
- Replace cracked and broken tiles, including anything a dropped limb has gone through
- Repoint the ridge and hip lines with flexible pointing compound
- Seal and coat with a membrane that resists regrowth on the shaded pitch
On guide pricing only, and from Australian cost guides rather than Perth rates, a full restoration on a typical Hills home usually lands in the thousands. See the cost guide for what moves the number.
Gutters, honestly described
What is true is narrower and more useful than the sales version. A gutter packed with dry jarrah bark and marri litter is somewhere embers can land and sit, and the same packed gutter is what dams water back under the tiles when the winter fronts arrive. Clearing it and keeping it clear addresses both, and that is the whole claim.
If you want to know what applies to your address, WA maps bushfire prone areas at state level through the Map of Bush Fire Prone Areas, prepared by the Office of Bushfire Risk Management and updated annually, covering bushfire prone vegetation plus a buffer, and DFES is the place to start. We will not quote a construction standard or a rating at you, because that is not ours to interpret.
Frequently asked questions
Does gutter guard or ember mesh make my house safe?
No, and we are not going to imply otherwise. It reduces the litter that collects in a gutter, which is a real but limited thing, and no product on this site is claimed to meet any standard.
Who tells me what my property requires?
DFES and your local government. The state map of bushfire prone areas is the starting point, and the Shire of Mundaring is the permit authority for building work.
What roof work actually matters out here?
Keeping the valleys and gutters clear, replacing cracked tiles and rusted valley irons, and repointing ridge mortar that has failed. The ordinary work, done properly and regularly.
