Increase the value of your property and storm proof your home.If your roof is in need of some TLC, there maybe be a better alternative than roof repairs or roof replacement which can preserve the life of your roof without the expense of a full roof replacement. One option which gives you the benefits of not only a roof that’s safe and weather-proof, but will also make your roof look fantastic, is
a roof restoration.
“Roof Restoration” is a term that is used to describe the process of cleaning, repairing and re-coating a roof. Roof restoration is beneficial for just about all types of roofs including Colorbond, Zincalume, Galvanised iron, Decromastic and of course Concrete tile. It’s far more than that. A quality roof restoration involves pain-staking attention to detail, especially when it comes to the preparation. Ignorance of these facts is why most D.I.Y roof restorations fail. Our roof restoration is the combination of three individual services offered by many home roofing companies:
Roof Repairs
Roof Cleaning
Roof Painting
Our Tile Roof Restoration Process:
Replace all cracked and broken tiles. Even the tiles with hair line cracks are replaced. Pressure clean the entire roof. Using a water blaster that produces 3,000 psi of pressure, this will remove all mould and lichen, remove all dirt, and strip much of the existing surface. Remove ridge caps and re-bed if required. If your existing bedding is even a tiny bit loose, we’ll re-bed the caps. This involves removing them, laying a new concrete bed, and re-laying all the caps. Re-point all ridge caps with a polymer based flexible pointing mortar. This is trowelled on and because it’s a flexible mortar, will not crack with the normal movement of your home (expansion and contraction from heat and cold)
Apply a sealer / primer coat to the entire roof. This seals the roof, and because it “etches” in to the surface of the tile, acts as a “gripper” coat, giving maximum adhesion. This coat is sprayed on with an airless paint machine. Apply 2 or more acrylic membrane coats in the colour of your choice. The acrylic membrane coats are very heavy bodied (thick in consistency) and form a protective membrane for your roof. Coming in a choice of colours, this will greatly improve the appearance of your entire home. Our Metal Roof Restoration process:
Treat any light rust by grinding it back and applying a potent rust converter. Replace any sheets where rust is beyond treating. Replace any loose or rusty nails or screws. Pressure clean your roof. Apply a metal etch primer coat. Roofcoat QLD are Dulux accredited applicators and use only quality roof membrane and products with a 10 year warranty .
