Yes. Palmers Roofing carries $20 million in public liability insurance and maintains full workers' compensation insurance covering every team member. We can provide a current certificate of currency upon request before any work commences. Our insurance protects you against property damage and ensures our workers are covered in the event of any workplace incident on your property.
Using an unlicensed roofer in NSW exposes you to significant risks. You lose access to the Home Building Compensation Fund, have no recourse through NSW Fair Trading for dispute resolution, may void your home insurance if substandard work causes damage, and cannot claim under any statutory warranty. If the work is valued over $5,000 and performed by an unlicensed contractor, both parties may face penalties under the Home Building Act 1989.
Every Palmers Roofing team member holds a current White Card (General Construction Induction Card) as required by SafeWork NSW. This certification confirms they have completed mandatory construction safety training. Additionally, all our roofers undergo supplementary height safety training, fall prevention courses, and regular safety briefings specific to the hazards of roofing work at elevation.
Engaging a licensed roofer in NSW provides multiple protections: statutory warranties on workmanship and materials under the Home Building Act 1989, access to the Home Building Compensation Fund for residential work over $20,000, dispute resolution services through NSW Fair Trading, compliance with Australian Standards and the National Construction Code, and the ability to lodge a formal complaint if work is defective. These protections do not apply when you use an unlicensed operator.
