Slate Roofing in Melbourne

What slate roofing in Melbourne actually involves

Domestic building work is work associated with the construction, renovation, improvement, or maintenance of a home. There are 30 registration classes of domestic building work. Where the cost of the work is more than A$10,000, the Commission says the parties must enter a major domestic building contract, and that a builder must not enter one unless registered as a building practitioner under the Building Act 1993. From A$20,000 the work must be covered by domestic building insurance.

Which registration

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

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