Put A Lid On It With Tin Lid Enterprises
From minefields to construction sites, Kate and Nic Buhler’s business was fuelled by the uniting of different paths. Kate started as an operator at the mines and Nic owned a roofing business with a close friend. This all changed in 2013 when Nic’s business partner decided to go in a different direction and Kate received the joyous news of her pregnancy. In 2021 The couple decided to create a family company and Tin Lid Enterprises was born that same year, along with their second child.
While Nic is busy on top of houses directing the roofing side of things, Kate has her head in the books, sorting all things admin and quoting. Alongside themselves, they have a team of eight individuals including two apprentices, one who will be fully qualified in January and the other whom started in July.
Tin Lid specialise in metal roofing and do everything from big commercial properties to domestic projects. Happy to take on almost any job, they love nothing more than fitting a premium quality roof and are ready to help you with any roofing project you may throw at them.
Tin Lid is known for its versatility across various projects, but they’ve also tackled significant undertakings in Airlie Beach, including the roof of the new fire station, the Shute Harbour Boat Terminal, and the upcoming Mackay Resource Centre which will start construction early next year.
Kate expressed her excitement about these large projects and giving back to the community:
“The fire station was a major undertaking that we’re really proud of, especially since it’s something the town truly needs,” she shared.
What makes Tin Lid unique is their close-knit crew who are more like family and can often be found hanging out after work.
“They love roofing, it is a really great team, and they're all so proud of their job and their work,” Kate added.
This year, in just their third year of operation, Tin Lid proudly won a prestigious Master Builders Award – the Ken & Nola Clark Memorial Award, which shows their dedication to their business.
When they aren't scaling roofs and drawing up quotes, Nic and Kate take some much-needed rest camping in Lake Proserpine with their family.
