Roof Ventilator Supply and Installation
The benefits of Roof Ventilation
Roof ventilators, (also known as roof vents, attic vents, or whirly birds) are widely recognisable fixtures on Australian homes, as they are perfect for extracting hot and humid air from the roof cavity directly. The most immediate benefit of house roof ventilation is the home's interior being noticeably cooler on scorching days, without the need for expensive and energy churning air conditioning.
We offer supply and installation of roof ventilators on all common roofing surfaces, offering our professional recommendation regarding the model, quantity and roof vent installation points most suited to your roof.
Particularly for inland regions in the Upper Hunter Valley, the Central Coast and the Lake Macquarie region, prone to fierce summers and occasional heavy rainfall, roof ventilators can make a big difference to the comfort of your home.
In the colder months condensation forming on the underside of the roof surface can amount to a serious problem, as it runs down beams, collects on gyprock sheets, permeates exposed materials and even leads to mould growth. A properly installed roof ventilator will do little to remove heat from your house in winter on account of it being held in by the roof insulation. Instead, it will extract moisture and vapour from your roof cavity, protecting the insulation and other materials in the roof cavity and keeping your home dry and comfortable inside.
The warm, dark and stuffy conditions inside of most attics and roof cavities make daytime shelter to many domestic pests, such as mice, possums, birds, cockroaches, and many other insects. Proper roofing ventilation will help prevent the use of your roof space by pests, by lowering the temperature inside the roof, inhibiting the growth of mould, allowing constant flow of fresh air and, critically, permitting light directly into the roof cavity during the day.

Roof Ventilation Options
The roof ventilators, or whirly birds, provided by Newcastle Roofing Professionals are high quality aluminium units manufactured by Bradford, a leader in top quality ventilation and air quality products. This range was selected for its top level durability and quality, each unit being equipped with replaceable bearings, constructed of high strength aluminium for corrosion resistance and strength, especially in coastal locations, and backed by a 15 year warranty.
Bradford Windmaster™
The Windmaster is the most commonly suitable ventilator for residential installations. It can be installed on all standard roofing surfaces and requires no power source to operate.
This simple and reliable model serves to remove both heat and moisture from the roof cavity, and operates barely above a whisper.
Bradford Supavent™
The Supavent is a compact, high efficiency roof ventilator made to extract heat from smaller spaces and to operate at lower wind speeds than the Windmaster model. This roof ventilator is typically more suited to sheds, garages and other smaller spaces.
Rather than the usual aluminium from which roof ventilators are constructed, the Supavent is made from high quality UV stabilised polycarbonate - an extremely strong and impact resistant plastic that does not corrode and is not prone to denting or deformation in hail. As with all other Bradford the Supavent is covered by a 15 year warranty.
Bradford Maestro™
The Maestro is a powered roof ventilator suited for large scale and commercial installations. Unlike most wind-powered roof ventilators, the Maestro is a powered ventilator, able to run on mains power with a miniscule consumption of only 11 watts.
Despite operating barely above a whisper, the Maestro is able to remove two to three times the volume of hot air possible with a conventional wind-driven extractor. This allows fewer units to be used for a given roof area, or for higher level performance in commercial or industrial contexts where the moisture and heat generation are particular challenges.
Service you can rely on.

We just had new guttering installed along with roof repairs & a full roof restoration. I cannot praise them enough, the work was carried out efficiently and to a very high standard. They cleaned up and removed all rubbish. Every worker was polite and friendly & really knew their job, our roof looks brand new. The girls in the office kept us updated as the job progressed and were absolutely lovely. I have never encountered such a professional business and I would recommend them to anyone looking for first class roof work at a very good price.

Newcastle Roofing removed an old tin roof on our house in Mayfield and installed a new one in just a few days. I highly recommend the team from office staff to tradesmen. The office kept me informed every step of the way and informed me of weather delays and schedules. The roof looks fantastic as do the new gutters and downpipes. I'm so glad I chose this company after a year of procrastinating on a new roof to stop the leaks and it has given new life to an old house.
