We Provide the Best Timber Batten Installation & Replacement in Canberra
Roof battens are the timber framework fixed across your rafters that your roof tiles or metal sheets attach to. You can’t see them from the ground, but every tile and sheet on your roof depends on them. When battens crack, rot, or come loose, tiles slip, sheets lift in high winds, and your roof loses its structural integrity.
Tawhid Roofing offers the best timber batten installation and replacement services in Canberra for homes and offices. Whether you’re re-roofing, replacing storm-damaged battens, or dealing with rot discovered during a roof repair, our team installs quality, correctly spaced battens that meet Australian standards and keep your roof secure for decades.
Signs Your Roof Battens May Need Replacement:
- Slipped, loose, or uneven roof tiles
- A wavy or sagging roofline visible from the street
- Cracking or creaking sounds from the roof in wind
- Water stains or leaks inside the roof cavity
- Visible rot, borer damage, or termite activity in roof timbers
- Battens split or broken during previous roof work
Our Services
Complete Timber Batten Services in Canberra
Timber Batten Installation – For new roofs, extensions, and full roof replacements. We install quality seasoned hardwood or treated pine battens at the correct spacing (gauge) for your specific tile or sheet profile, fixed securely to meet Australian building standards.
Timber Batten Replacement – Rotted, split, borer-eaten, or storm-damaged battens are carefully removed and replaced. We lift and re-lay the affected tiles or sheets, replace damaged battens, and secure everything back down properly – restoring your roof’s strength.
Batten Replacement During Re-Roofing – Replacing your roof? This is the perfect time to replace old battens. We inspect every batten during roof replacement and re-bedding work, and replace any that won’t last the life of your new roof.
Because we work on roofs every day, we understand better than anyone how carpentry and roofing connect. Rotted fascia, sagging battens, damaged eaves, and worn cladding don’t just look bad – they put your entire roofing system and property at risk. Our team identifies and fixes these problems at the source.
