Coastal roofs in Dehiwala and Mount Lavinia take salt spray and full monsoon rain together. Cheap metal sheeting and unprotected fixings corrode quickly, and the fixings usually fail before the sheet does.

What to expect

  • Professionals used to the narrow by-lanes off Galle Road and to coastal salt exposure
  • An inspection that identifies the cause, not just the wet patch
  • A quote covering battens, flashings and making good, not only tiles
  • Work scheduled in a dry window so sealants and coatings can cure

Helpful tips

Specify the fixings as carefully as the sheeting. Plain steel screws and washers in a coastal roof rust through and let water in around every fixing point, which is why a sound-looking roof can leak in a dozen places at once.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about hiring in Dehiwala-Mount Lavinia

Questions about finding a tradesperson in Dehiwala-Mount Lavinia? Here are the answers homeowners ask most.

Hot-dip galvanised or properly coated sheeting with stainless or coated fixings, or clay tiles which do not corrode at all. Plain painted steel sheeting has a short life in this belt.

The fixings have corroded and the sealing washers have perished. Replacing them with the correct coated fixings and washers is far cheaper than replacing the sheets, and it is often the whole repair.
