01What changes in Sydney
NSW Government lists roof tiling, roof slating, roof plumbing and painting as trade-work categories and requires a contractor licence for residential work above the current $5,000 labour-and-material threshold. Its roof-slating scope also shows that some protective coatings can sit inside a roof trade only when the defined work and conditions apply.
Sydney advertising should therefore describe the actual service and licence instead of calling every job “roof restoration”. Parramatta, Penrith, Liverpool and the Sutherland Shire should share attendance terms only where travel and inspection capacity support them, with storm and insurance enquiries kept distinct from maintenance.
