Roofing for the wettest corner of the Highlands
Robertson is a special case. Perched on the Illawarra escarpment at around 720 metres, the village catches far more rain than the rest of the Highlands — roughly 1,600 mm a year, more than double Bowral's total — along with frequent fog and damp. It's why the surrounding country is so green, and why Robertson roofs work harder than almost any others in the Shire.
All that water and moisture is relentless on a roof. Moss and lichen flourish in the constant damp, gutters overflow under big rainfall events, and any weakness in flashing, valleys or ridge pointing gets found out fast. Roofs that might coast along in a drier town start leaking here. Robertson homes need roofing that's genuinely watertight, not just passable.
What Robertson roofs need
- Thorough moss and lichen removal — the plateau grows it faster than anywhere.
- Leak detection and valley repairs that handle sustained heavy rain.
- Repointing that seals out the constant moisture.
- Gutters and downpipes sized for serious rainfall.
