Hunters Hill is Australia’s oldest garden suburb, a leafy sandstone peninsula between the Lane Cove and Parramatta Rivers about 7 kilometres from the Sydney GPO, with postcode 2110 shared with Woolwich. It is also the smallest municipality in metropolitan Sydney at roughly 6 square kilometres, and around 75 per cent of it is declared a conservation area, so roofing here is as much about heritage as weather. Many early houses were built from local sandstone, and the Victorian and Federation homes that followed carry detailed ridges, valleys, chimneys and slate or tile roofs that need like-for-like repairs and early advice on council requirements. Mature gardens and street trees drop leaves and bark into gutters, while river breezes and storm exposure add wear. The municipality is predominantly residential with very little commercial or industrial land, so commercial work tends to mean village shops, hospitality venues, churches, schools and community buildings. Ivy Roofing has serviced homes and businesses across Hunters Hill for over 20 years, and our HIA membership (#1311978) means every repair, re-roof and gutter job is carried out by qualified tradespeople to proper compliance standards.
We fix cracked or slipped tiles, damaged ridge capping and storm damage on Hunters Hill's sandstone, Victorian and Federation homes, including chimney flashing, before leaks reach ceilings and walls.
When a Hunters Hill roof is past economical repair, our team manages full tile or metal re-roofing, with material and colour choices that respect your street and conservation requirements.
Mature gardens and street trees fill gutters with leaves and bark. We repair sagging gutters, replace corroded sections and downpipes, and fit leaf guards on homes and community buildings.
We install and reseal skylights for Hunters Hill homes, correcting common flashing failures that cause leaks around roof penetrations after heavy rain.
Using moisture tracing and thorough roof inspections, we pinpoint the source of hidden leaks in Hunters Hill properties, so the repair actually solves the problem the first time.
From village shops and hospitality venues to churches, schools and community buildings, we repair and replace flat, metal, slate and tile roofing, box gutters and flashing, scheduling work to suit your operating hours.

Our sandstone home in Hunters Hill needed slipped tiles replaced and the ridge capping rebedded. Ivy matched the existing roof carefully, explained the council side and left the garden tidy.
We look after a small community building and needed a leak traced and repaired. Ivy gave us a clear written quote for the committee and scheduled the work around our events.
The trees on our street fill the gutters constantly. Ivy replaced the damaged sections and fitted leaf guards. Professional, punctual and a fair price.

About 75 per cent of the Municipality of Hunters Hill is declared a conservation area, so changes to roof materials, colours or form are more likely to need council approval, particularly on heritage-listed homes. Like-for-like repairs are often simpler. We check your property and advise early so you don’t face surprises or delays once work is under way.
Yes. Hunters Hill has many sandstone houses and Victorian and Federation homes with detailed ridges, valleys and chimneys. We match materials and profiles as closely as possible, explain any approval requirements early, and work carefully so the character of the property is preserved while the roof is made watertight again.
Yes. Many heritage roofs use slate or terracotta tiles. We can replace broken or slipped tiles, rebed and repoint ridge capping, repair valleys and chimney flashings, and advise when a section can be saved or a larger restoration is more cost-effective. We aim to keep original materials wherever that is practical.
Warning signs on older Hunters Hill roofs include cracked or slipped tiles, failed flashing around chimneys, sagging ridge lines, damp ceiling stains and gutters that overflow in heavy rain. An inspection will show whether targeted repairs will solve the problem or whether a full re-roof is the more cost-effective choice over the long term.
Yes. Mature gardens and street trees across Hunters Hill drop leaves and bark into gutters and downpipes, which can cause overflow and water damage behind fascias during storms. We repair or replace damaged gutters, clear blockages and can fit leaf guards sized to your existing gutter profile during the same visit.
We aim to inspect urgent leaks in Hunters Hill within 24 to 48 hours, especially after severe storms when damage is widespread across the Inner West and lower North Shore. For active leaks we can often arrange a temporary fix on the first visit to limit water damage to ceilings and insulation while the full repair is scheduled.
Yes. Hunters Hill is predominantly residential with very little commercial land, so most commercial work involves village shops, hospitality venues, churches, schools and community buildings. We repair and replace flat, metal, slate and tile roofing, maintain box gutters and trace leaks, scheduling work to suit your operating hours.
