Before you get a quote

Four things to know first

  • A heritage listed house usually needs planning approval City of Hobart says you will usually need planning approval for any use or development of a site that is heritage listed or in a Heritage Precinct. Some maintenance work is exempt, and the City's advice is specific to your property.
  • Heritage listing means as little change as necessary The City describes the usual approach as 'doing as much as necessary but as little as possible', and encourages owners to talk to it first and, depending on the proposal, to get specialist advice.
  • Most old slates can go back on The NSW Heritage Office's maintenance sheet on slating, a NSW sheet dated March 1998, online edition 2004, says most slates stripped from a roof are likely to be reusable, and that at least 10% commonly need replacing.
  • Ask before you quote-shop This site says nothing about what qualifies someone for slate work in Tasmania, because the pages read for it do not say. Ask whoever quotes what qualifies them and what the quote covers.

  2. It is passed on Your enquiry goes to one independent local provider covering Hobart. The provider pays for the introduction; you never do.
  3. A provider inspects and quotes The provider looks at the roof and prices the work in writing. The price is theirs to set.

Slate Roofing across Hobart

A slate roof usually shows its trouble at the nails before the slate itself gives out. The NSW Heritage Office's maintenance sheet on slating, a NSW sheet dated March 1998, online edition 2004, says: Slates in the gutter are often a sign of rusted nails. Water stains appearing as thin streaks down the slates may be an early indication of nail failure. It is guidance from another state, not a Tasmanian rule.
