Slate Roofing in Ballarat

What slate roofing in Ballarat actually involves

Domestic building work means work associated with the construction, renovation, improvement or maintenance of a home. Domestic building work is registered in 30 classes. For work costing more than A$10,000 the Commission says the parties must enter a major domestic building contract, and a builder may not enter one without registration as a building practitioner under the Building Act 1993. Work from A$20,000 must be covered by domestic building insurance.

Which registration

The Commission's list of classes includes a roof class "limited to roof tiling" and none for roof slating. Its pages do not say whether the roof tiling class covers slate, so this page names no class: ask whoever quotes. Roof plumbing, which includes gutters and flashings, is a separate regime that this page does not cover.

Ask which registration the work is done under, and what the quote assumes about the existing battens, nails and flashings.
