Words cannot describe the exceptional experience I had with Northern Local Trades Group when they installed a Colourbond roof on my home. The entire process was handled with seamless precision by Temo. The project management was amazing. The roofing and building specialists were available and informative, keeping me in the loop with the stages of the roof replacement.
As the Secretary of a Strata Committee the process of obtaining quotes for maintenance of Strata dwellings is fraught with many difficulties. I have found Temo and his teams at the NR Trades Group personable, professional and reliable. At this stage of our process, and before any quotes have been accepted, Temo and his teams have exceeded my expectations.
These guys did a great job. They were excellent communicators and the work was completed really efficiently. Our new guttering looks and works beautifully. I highly recommend them.
The guys were great to deal with, kept me informed on progress, dealt with difficult weather conditions, and importantly, did a great professional job. We recommend this company to others.
Recently had the roof rescrewed, painted and restored with new flashing added. I’m really happy with the teams who completed the roof restoration and the painting including the electricians who removed and reinstalled the solar. The communication from NR trades was excellent and I was happy with the advice I was given and the end product. Thanks to all.
We are pleased to recommend this group - communication was prompt, options fully explained, the roof painting result met all of our expectations.

Yes, cracked roof tile mortar on ridge capping is a definite leak risk! Re-bedding (laying a new mortar base) and repointing (applying flexible pointing over it) is vital maintenance our Lismore roof tiling team performs.
Tile battens are the crucial timber supports nailed across your roof frame that tiles actually sit on/clip to. Correct installation by skilled roofers ensures tiles are secure and weatherproof for proper roof tile installation. They usually last well unless damaged.
It’s really not recommended. Using the wrong pressure washer settings, especially PSI levels that are too high, can easily crack tiles or blast away the protective surface layer. Even if you’re careful walking on the roof, just stepping in the wrong spot can break a tile or shift ridge capping.
There’s also the risk of causing damage to your gutters or overloading them with roof debris if you don’t clean out the runoff properly. That’s why it’s safer (and smarter) to call in a professional roof cleaner. As a one-stop tradie shop, our team handles both roof cleaning and guttering services. While we’re up there, we’ll also check for broken tiles, blocked valleys or gutter issues, and give you a clear report on what we find, so nothing gets missed.
For our experienced roof tilers, fixing roof tiles by replacing a few broken ones is usually straightforward if matching tiles are available (we try hard to find them!). We carefully remove shards and securely seat the new tile.
We do this all the time! When extending a home, we work with trusted suppliers to find the closest possible match to your existing tile roof, whether it’s concrete, terracotta, or slate. While exact matches can sometimes be tricky due to weathering or discontinued colours, our experienced tilers use smart placement techniques and can apply finishing treatments to help everything blend in as seamlessly as possible. We’ll also ensure the flashing and ridge work ties in cleanly with your existing roof.
