How often should roof screws be replaced?

In Far North Queensland's cyclone zone, we recommend inspection every 5 years and re-screwing every 10–15 years, depending on the condition of existing fasteners and your building's exposure.
What is Wind Region C?

Wind Region C is the Australian Building Code's classification for cyclone-prone areas including Cairns and Far North Queensland. It requires specific fastener types and spacing to withstand extreme wind loads.
Do you provide compliance reports?

Yes. We provide detailed before-and-after inspection reports documenting every aspect of the re-screwing work. These reports satisfy strata, body corporate, and insurance compliance requirements.
How long does re-screwing take?

Most commercial re-screwing projects are completed within 1–5 days depending on building size. There's no impact on your daily operations — all work is done from the roof.
Can you inspect before committing to re-screwing?

Absolutely. We offer free cyclone inspections to assess your roof's current condition. You'll receive a detailed report with our findings and recommendations before any work begins.
