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.
Thinking about converting your roof? Get the key info here.
Absolutely. Modern metal roofing (like COLORBOND®) is around 1/7th the weight of traditional concrete tiles, which significantly reduces the load on your home’s frame. For older homes around Lismore, that means less long-term stress on the structure, and in some cases, it helps avoid the need for costly structural reinforcements. Our builder team can assess everything before starting the conversion.
Often, yes, especially with lighter COLORBOND® colors, which reflect more heat than dark tiles. Plus, a roof conversion is the perfect chance to install or upgrade roof blanket insulation (like anticon) directly under the metal sheets for maximum energy efficiency gains.
Meticulous waterproofing is crucial! Our flashing specialists use custom-folded metal flashings, precisely matched to the metal roofing profile (e.g. Trimdek, Corrugated), to expertly seal every edge, valley, ridge cap, and roof penetration (vents, pipes), ensuring long-term leak prevention.
We aim to minimise disruption! Tile removal creates dust, but we manage it carefully. Installing large metal roofing sheets is generally faster day-to-day than laying individual tiles, like in tile roofing. Our crew works efficiently and prioritises keeping your property tidy throughout the process.
We always inspect your gutters during the roof conversion. Old, rusted or incorrectly sloped gutters might struggle with faster water runoff from metal. If needed, we’ll recommend and install new, quality guttering systems (like seamless COLORBOND®) at the same time.
