What is roof restoration

Depending on the condition of the roof, roof restoration could involve few different processes. It could involve roof repairs, roof cleaning and roof painting. Typically roof restorations are cheaper than roof replacements and expensive than roof repairs.

During the roof repair process damaged roof tiles, down-pipes and gutters etc will be replaced in order to fix any leaks. Blocked gutters, down pipes and molded roof tiles will be cleaned with high pressure cleaner during the roof cleaning process. Roof painting is the final process of roof restoration and re-coating of the roof color will be done during this stage.

Metal roof restoration Greenvale

Metal roofs are more popular and very common in Greenvale. It’s cheap comparing to terracotta and concrete tiles. But most common issue specially with old metal roofs are they tent to corrode and rust, especially if you are close to the coast. Modern Colourbond metal roof sheets and galvanized roof sheets and other products (gutters, ridges, downpipes etc) comes with some special layer of protection against corrosion.

During metal roof restoration process corroded and rusted roofing parts (sheets, downpipes, gutter etc) will be replaced with new parts. And we will make sure you’re left without any leaks.

 

Terracotta and tile roof restoration Greenvale  

Terracotta tiles are not all the same. Some Terracotta tiles are manufactured with a clear glaze coating, some don’t. Over time a Terracotta tile can deteriorate and start to soak water and become porous. This leads to moss and lichen growing on the tiles.

To resolve a terracotta tile growing moss and lichen we apply a hypo tile detergent designed to kill moss, lichen and algae on roof tiles.

After applying the treatment, we leave it for a period of 3-4 days to work. The roof is them cleaned using a high-pressure cleaner to remove all debris. This prepares the roof for a new terracotta glaze. This is a clear protective coating designed for porous terracotta tiles.

When do you need roof restoration?

It is often difficult to figure when to identify that roof needs a restoration. But it’s always a clever idea to seek for professional help. Professional roof contractor will identify roof repair vs roof restoration and roof replacement. Cost and durability are the two most important things to consider when deciding which process, you want to go ahead with. For an example is it worth to do a full roof replacement on a roof which is 40 years old where roof replacement costs only couple of grand more than roof restoration. Because a new roof will last another 40 years.
