ROOF RESTORATIONS
Professional Roof Restoration Services Melbourne.
CEMENT TILE ROOF RESTORATION
1. Roof Inspection
2. Colour Selection
Our consultant discusses with you to help you pick your new colour scheme.
3. Care of your Property
We routinely take every precaution to protect your downpipes, gutters and walls from any mess created by the cleaning and repair process.
4. Replace Broken Tiles
As a result of our initial roof inspection all cracked or broken tiles are replaced.
5. High Pressure Water Blasting
High pressure water blasting is required to remove moss, lichen and grime to achieve best results. No chemicals are used, only water.
6. Rebedding and Repoint
The last step before painting requires all ridge caps, gables and hips to be repointed. This completes the process of restoration of your roof prior to coating.
7. Resurfacing and colour
As part of the final step your roof is sterilised, sealed and coated with two top coats of colour sealants. We’ll help you choose your selected colour, providing a permanent finish that will withstand all weather conditions.
TERRACOTTA TILE ROOF RESTORATION
Terracotta tiles require a slightly different roof restoration procedure to Cement Tile Roof Restoration. Terracotta tiles are mostly factory glazed and very rarely need any form of coating applied to the surface. But we advise using ‘Terra Glaze’, a clear protective coating containing ultra violet light protectives and silicons developed specially for unglazed terracotta tiles.
1. Roof Inspection
We inspect the roof for any signs of leaks and broken tiles to detail the materials and repairs required.
2. Replace Broken Tiles
All cracked or broken tiles are replaced with the same tile type of a similar age.
3. High Pressure Water Blasting
The tiles are then high pressure cleaned bringing then back to their original condition.
4. Rebedding and Repoint
The ridge caps are rebedded where necessary and fully repointed using a flexible pointing compound.
5. Coating for unglazed terracotta tiles
Apply high quality clear terra glaze using an airless spray system.
