INTRODUCTION:

Welcome to the Repair & Replace Valley Sections & Flashings on Tiled Roof Structures course. This course only includes a challenge assessment designed to assess your knowledge and skills required to demonstrate competence in planning, preparing, repairing, replacing, fabricating, installing and finishing valley sections, valley irons, flashings and associated roof tiles on tiled roof structures.

Repairing and replacing valley sections and flashings on tiled roof structures involves interpreting work instructions, selecting PPE, tools, equipment and materials, checking roof access and fall safety devices, locating damaged areas, removing affected tiles and assessing valley and flashing soundness before repair or replacement work begins. In real workplace practice, this skill area is important because valleys, flashings, tiles, bedding, pointing and storm seal materials must be repaired or replaced with minimum disturbance to surrounding roof areas while maintaining roof function, appearance, alignment and weather protection.

The course assessment focuses on your ability to plan roof valley and flashing repair work; apply NCC, Australian Standards, WHS, environmental, legislative, manufacturer and workplace requirements; select PPE, tools, equipment and materials; inspect worksites, control hazards and check fall safety devices; locate damaged valley and flashing areas; identify replacement tiles from samples; remove damaged tiles, pointing and bedding with minimal disturbance; clean and assess valleys, valley irons, valley boards and flashings; repair or replace damaged structural components and install tie-down fixings; fabricate and install required flashings; replace tiles to existing design, gauge, alignment and bond; and apply bedding, pointing and storm seal materials to match surrounding roof areas.

By successfully completing this course assessment, you will have demonstrated that you can repair and replace valley sections and flashings on tiled roof structures by interpreting work requirements, applying safety and workplace controls, preparing materials and access, identifying and removing damaged roofing elements, assessing and repairing valley and flashing areas, fabricating and installing required flashings, replacing tiles to match existing roof design and completing bedding, pointing and sealing work to workplace requirements.
