Wooroloo is the furthest east of the Shire of Mundaring localities in this service area, rural country with large holdings and the name Perth associates with the February 2021 fire. Like the great majority of the Shire, it sits inside WA's designated bushfire prone area.
That is recorded here as a fact about the place. No roof or gutter work makes a house bushfire safe and nothing on this site should be read as claiming it does.
We connect you with roof restoration specialists who work the large rural blocks out here, and who will quote the sheds at the same time as the house.
What a restoration involves
- Clear the valleys, the gutters and the litter trapped behind flashings, on the house and on the sheds
- Replace cracked tiles, or treat and patch rusted steel, depending on what is up there
- Repoint ridge and hip lines with flexible compound on the tile roofs
- Prime and coat, with rust treatment first on anything metal
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.
Rural roofs, and the gutter claim kept honest
The useful, limited truth is this: a gutter packed with dry eucalypt 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 come. Clearing it and keeping it clear addresses both. That is the entire claim and we are not going to stretch it.
For 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, and DFES is where to start. On the roof itself, a Wooroloo job is usually a house plus sheds, with rust on the steel and debris behind the flashings the two things that get found.
Frequently asked questions
Does a roof coating give any fire benefit?
We make no such claim, and no product referred to on this site is claimed to meet any standard. A coating is for sealing and appearance. Keeping gutters and valleys clear is maintenance, not protection.
Who do I ask about bushfire construction requirements?
DFES and the Shire of Mundaring. The state map of bushfire prone areas is the starting point, and the Shire is the permit authority for building work.
What is usually wrong with a rural roof out here?
Rust starting behind flashings and at the bottom lap of steel sheets, backed-out screws, and debris in the valleys on the tiled parts. All of it cheap to treat early.
