    Can you Retro Fit Roof Sarking?

    no it cant be retro fitted This has to be done at the time of construction. I personally put sarking on all of our roofs, as i have seen way too many tiled roofs leak in good storms. For the cost its a no brainer.

    what price for a new deck? Can i do it in 2 steps?

    Hello Spridget, You certainly can do the project in 2 parts. What happens is when you get the job certified, you have 2 years to complete. This allows you to build the deck first, and get it signed off, and complete the roofing at a later stage. You will just need to ensure that the deck...
