| Where | Era | Usual finding |
|---|---|---|
| Older homes on large plots | 1960s – 1980s | Garage, carport and outbuilding roofs, ceilings |
| Complexes and retirement villages | 1970s – 1980s | Communal garage roofs, gutters, fascia boards |
| Old Main Road commercial | 1960s – 1980s | Shop ceilings, canopies, rear store roofs |
| Newer estates and complexes | 1990s+ | None |
Complex work is common here, which brings body corporate decisions and levies into the picture.
Body Corporates And Retirement Villages
- Common property, common decision. Roofs and gutters in a sectional title scheme are usually common property, so the trustees arrange the work.
- Residents stay in place. In a retirement village, the phasing, notice and noise matter as much as the price.
- Hail is a regular trigger. Upper Highway storms crack ageing sheets and turn a planned project into an urgent one.
Do The Scheme In One Project
A body corporate that removes all its garage roofs in one project pays far less per unit than owners doing them one at a time, and the scheme ends up with one disposal certificate and one record. Trustees should get the sectional plan and rules checked first, so it is clear what is common property, then get the whole scheme priced with a phased programme.

Compare Hillcrest QuotesFrequently Asked Questions
Who pays for the garage roofs in our complex?
Usually the body corporate, because roofs are normally common property. Check the sectional plan and scheme rules before anyone commissions work.
Can residents stay during the work?
For external roof and gutter work, yes. Windows stay shut and people keep clear of the drop zone while each block is done.
Is one project really cheaper than unit by unit?
Yes, substantially. Set-up, notification and disposal are paid once across the scheme.
Does hail damage make it urgent?
Broken sheets should be made safe promptly, but undisturbed fragments are not an emergency if people keep away.
