Websites for Hobart roofers that put your plumbing licence where an owner can check it, explain what you do after a storm lifts sheets in Sandy Bay or Bellerive, and show the slate and galvanised iron reroofs that older Hobart houses ask for, with tap-to-call from either side of the Derwent.
In Tasmania, gutters, flashings and roof drainage count as plumbing work, many of Hobart's oldest roofs sit on heritage-listed houses, and damaging winds don't keep to a season. An owner wants to see, before ringing, that you hold the right licence, that you've worked on a roof like theirs, and what happens on the first visit.
Roof stormwater work is prescribed plumbing work under the Tasmanian regulations, so say which CBOS licences the business and your people hold, with the numbers. If you're a builder with a roof plumbing endorsement, say that too, and say who does the downpipes and drainage, because the endorsement doesn't stretch that far.
A short page on what you do when sheets lift, ridge capping lets go or a tree comes down on a roof: make-safe, tarping, temporary repairs and the photos and report an insurer usually asks for. Add the suburbs you can reach quickly, and a notice at the top you can switch on by email when a damaging-wind warning is out.
Owners of heritage-listed houses in Hobart's older suburbs may find the new roof has to match the old one. A gallery of slate relays and galvanised corrugated iron replacements, captioned with the street and the material, shows you know what that involves before anyone has to explain it to you.
If you offer a roof inspection, list what it covers: cladding, flashings, valleys, gutters, the roof space if accessible, and a written report with photos. Say whether the fee comes off the job if the owner goes ahead, so the offer is clear before the booking.
Swapping a heavy tiled roof for sheet steel changes the load on the frame, and Tasmania's building rules don't treat it as simple like-for-like maintenance. A paragraph saying how you handle it, and that a building surveyor may need to be involved, heads off the surprise later.
Hobart and Glenorchy on the western shore, Clarence across the bridge, Kingborough to the south, then Brighton, Sorell and the Huon Valley if you go that far. People type Howrah or Taroona, not Greater Hobart, so we name the suburbs and mark where you're based.
How many years your workmanship warranty runs, how it sits beside the manufacturer's warranty on the steel or tiles, and what voids it. Put it on the reroofing page and beside the quote form, where an owner comparing three quotes will look for it.
Tasmanian trades are licensed through Consumer, Building and Occupational Services (CBOS), and the Occupational Licensing (Plumbing Work) Regulations 2021 list roof stormwater installations among the plumbing work that needs a licence. The City of Hobart gives roofing as its first example of plumbing work. A business also needs a plumbing contractor licence before it contracts for that work, as our Hobart plumbers page explains along with the council permit categories. Some licensed builders hold an endorsement for limited roof plumbing, such as flashings, on projects where they've been contracted for all the building work. The Director of Building Control's determination on categories of building and demolition work (version 1.4, applying from April 2021) says that endorsement doesn't extend to stormwater disposal, such as fitting downpipes and drainage. If you're a builder doing reroofs, the website should say who does that part.
The same determination lets like-for-like maintenance with the same or similar materials go ahead as low-risk work, with flashings around repaired roof fixtures left to a licensed plumber or an endorsed builder. It names one exception that matters to roofers: taking off tiles and replacing them with sheet roof cladding isn't covered by that item, because it's likely to affect the building's structural soundness. We'd put that in plain words on a reroofing page and leave the approval question to the owner's building surveyor. For jobs big enough to come under Tasmania's residential building contract rules, our Hobart builders page covers deposits and cooling-off.
Hobart has a lot of old roofs on protected houses. The council's draft Local Provisions Schedule proposes 42 local heritage places that aren't in the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015, and the council says some maintenance work is exempt from a planning permit but asks owners to check with it before starting. For places on the Tasmanian Heritage Register, the Heritage Council's Works Guidelines (version 2, October 2025) set out when a full roof replacement can go through as minor works: the defects have to be widespread with repair not feasible, uncommon tiled claddings such as slate or terracotta are replaced like-for-like, and early corrugated galvanised iron is replaced with corrugated galvanised sheet, not Zincalume or COLORBOND, with sheet lengths matched on prominent roof planes. Serviceable ridge capping, flashings, barge boards and vents are kept. Switching slate or terracotta to galvanised, Zincalume or COLORBOND sheet is generally acceptable only on roof planes hidden from public view, and the guidelines say Zincalume should normally go only in concealed spots because it stays highly reflective. A roofer who does this work can link to the guidelines and show finished jobs.
Storm work here can come in any month. On 10 and 11 May 2018, a storm dropped 128 mm of rain on Hobart and stripped roofs from a few homes in Sandy Bay. The Insurance Council declared a catastrophe and counted almost 8,800 claims, worth more than $99.7 million in private property losses by late August. On 15 September 2025 gusts reached 102 km/h in the CBD and 145 km/h on kunanyi, and a tree came down on a house at Mt Nelson. On 5 October 2025 the SES took nine requests for help across Bellerive, Howrah, Glenorchy, the CBD and nearby towns, for smashed windows, damaged roofing and fencing and loose items. A site that names the SES number, 132 500, for urgent help and your own number for repairs is useful to everyone.
Two more points for older houses. WorkSafe Tasmania licenses asbestos removal, and asbestos cement roof sheeting turns up on plenty of older houses, so say whether you hold an asbestos removal licence or bring in a licensed removalist. And Tasmania Fire Service says about 98% of the state's land area is bushfire-prone, so if you fit ember guards or seal roofs on bush blocks, our Hobart tradies page covers how to describe that work. We're an Adelaide team working with Tasmanian roofers by phone and email at the same prices as everywhere else. Our current clients are in SA, NSW, VIC and QLD, and we haven't built a roofer's site yet.
None of these businesses is in Tasmania, and none is a roofer. M.J. Debney is a licensed plumber, the closest match to the plumbing side of roofing in Tasmania. Bright Building's site shows how a builder with several kinds of work and several areas can give each its own page.
A Queensland plumber and gas fitter covering general plumbing, drainage, hot water and backflow. One page with a six-service overview, a 13-photo gallery that swipes on a phone, testimonials and tap-to-call. A Hobart roofer could use the same layout with gutter, flashing and reroof photos and both licence numbers in the header.

An Adelaide builder doing renovations, extensions and new homes across the city, the Hills and the Fleurieu. The 30 pages include a page for each service and each area, planning guides, a project gallery and a seven-step quote form, the structure we'd follow for a roofer with separate repair, reroof and heritage work.

Whatever CBOS licences you hold for the work you advertise. Roof drainage is plumbing work in Tasmania, so a plumbing contractor licence and the practitioners' licences are the ones owners will look for; a builder's licence with a roof plumbing endorsement is another route for some jobs. We show each licence with its number and type, and you can check the wording with CBOS.
As its own page or gallery. Caption each job with the street, the material that went back on, such as salvaged slate or galvanised short sheets, and whether it was a listed place. Linking to the Heritage Council's Works Guidelines helps owners see what's usually expected; whether a job needs approval is for the owner, the council or Heritage Tasmania to settle.
Yes. Send us the wording by email and we'll put it up, then take it down when the calls settle. Text changes on existing pages come with the $30 monthly hosting, and we reply within 24 hours.
If you see them, yes. Say whether you hold a WorkSafe Tasmania removal licence or work with a licensed removalist, and what the owner can expect on a job like that. Leave safety advice to WorkSafe and link to it.
No. We're an Adelaide (South Australia) team on Hutt St and work with businesses Australia-wide by phone and email. You send your licence details, your own words and roof photos, we send a draft link, you ask for changes, and you pay once you approve it. If you don't have a logo, we can help with one at no charge.
Send us your CBOS licence numbers, the suburbs you cover on both sides of the river and a handful of roof photos. We'll quote, build a draft you can check on your phone, and you pay only once you've approved it.
We reply within 24 hours. Prefer email? info@webcraftstudio.com.au
