Your roofing can be made from shingles or sheet metal in Brisbane which are the commonly used materials by home owners. Sheet metal roofs are better than shingles, but the later are much affordable if you decide to install them over your old roofing. The sheet metal roofs can be installed over your old roofing or replaced completely. If you want to replace the old roofing, you need to remove them then install your new plywood base for your new sheet metal roofs. You can do the removal and installation on the same day to immediately replace the removed roofing.
Gathering materials and equipment
You can buy roofing materials such as sheet metals and metal roofing screws from your roofing supplier in Brisbane. You need sheet metals, metal trim and edging, metal roofing screws, 1 1/4-inch (3.2cm) roofing nails, 3-inch (7.6cm) long head screws, and tarpaper. Tools such as electric or battery-operated drill with different bit sizes, hammer, measuring tape, and snips are needed for proper roofing installation. You should wear tool belt to put in the tools and small material to prevent them from falling off your roof.
You need to secure a stable ladder to get you up and down from your roof safely. There are safety support gears that you can wear to reduce impact of accidental falls. Install a strong rope on a solid support that can hold you. The belt must be securely fastened on your hips so that you can tie the rope for support.
Steps for installation
You need to prepare all the materials and tools that you need for installation before removing your old roofing. After removing them, properly install your new plywood base. Make sure that there are no gaps between plywood pieces to prevent possible leaks. Spread the tarpaper over your plywood base. Tarpapers are waterproof construction material so they are the second roofing base to protect your home from harsh weather conditions.
Arrange the sheet metals lengthwise in a leaning position against walls. You can then install the metal edging around your roof's perimeter using roofing nails and hammer. Pull a metal sheet up on the roof then install them over the tarpaper and plywood base using metal roofing screws and drill. Do the same with the next sheets, but make sure that each piece overlaps with the later. You need to screw each sheet every two feet on the centre and inner edges to secure it in place.
Make sure that you have more than enough screws to be used for your installation. If the last sheets are bigger for the remaining areas, you can cut them using snips, but measure the area first for accurate cuts. You can then screw the v-shaped metal trim for your roof's top edges.
