In a sectional title block the roof and external walls are normally common property, which decides who arranges and pays for the work.
Body Corporate Work
- A trustee resolution comes first. Common property work needs a resolution and usually a special levy before a contractor can be appointed.
- Owners cannot act unilaterally. An owner arranging removal on common property is likely to end up with an invoice nobody will settle.
- Doing all units together is far cheaper. One mobilisation across a block beats owners going one at a time by a wide margin.
Sequencing A Scheme
The order that works is: survey the whole block, get a written inventory and prioritised list, put it to the trustees with quotes attached, resolve, levy, then appoint. Trying to raise funds before there is a scoped quote in hand is where these projects stall for years.

Compare Claremont QuotesFrequently Asked Questions
Who pays in a Claremont flat block?
Roofs and external walls are normally common property, so the body corporate funds it through a resolution and usually a special levy. Interior ceilings inside your section are normally yours.
Can I arrange removal on my own section?
For interior work inside your section, yes. For anything on common property, no — it has to go through the trustees.
Our trustees keep deferring it. What moves it along?
Bring them a survey and written quotes rather than a concern. Schemes stall when there is nothing concrete to resolve on.
Is it cheaper to do the whole block?
Considerably. One set-up and one disposal run across all units rather than a minimum charge per owner.
