The roof of your home is designed to tolerate the Queensland’s harsh weather conditions. Over time a tiled roof becomes tired and worn and requires either basic repairs, roof restoration, or roof replacement.
Tiled roofs should generally be restored at 10-15 year intervals to avoid constant and frequent repairs or premature replacement.
Tiled Roofs are very durable but like everything exposed to the elements, maintenance becomes a necessity for every homeowner to ensure your roof is protecting what lies beneath. Typical signs that your roof needs to be restored are broken, cracked chipped roof tiles, cracked pointing, and faded roof colours. Call us to arrange an obligation-free quote and solution to bringing back life and colour to your tile roof.
A common sign that a metal roof needs to be restored is when there are signs of surface rust or the powder-coated colour has faded, oxidised or become chalky. Metal Roofs when exposed to the elements will deteriorate over time needing it to be remedied with a pressure clean – rust priming and application of a protective coating to preserve the metal roof surface for years to come.
A Metal Roof Restoration is also a very cost-effective way to renovate and preserve the life of your roof, saving you dollars and time to have the metal sheeting replaced. When choosing to restore your metal roof consider the protective coating applied in a heat reflective range of colours to assist with energy saving costs to your home.
Terracotta Tile Roofs are found on the majority of homes in Brisbane and Surrounding older suburbs and heritage-listed homes. Ageless, terracotta roof tiles are clay-based and have their own unique character and colour which compliments the architecture of these older homes. Terracotta Roof Tiles are also renowned for mould and lichen growth which is damaging to the integrity of the roof surface and over time causes the roof of a home to lose its street appeal.
A roof restoration to a terracotta tile roof becomes necessary when such signs start appearing. Pressure cleaning, repairing, and resealing the roof surface with a clear glaze protective sealer will definitely bring back life to an old and aged terracotta roof.
Tile Roof Repairs become necessary especially when you find that your roof is leaking and watermarks to the internal ceilings are the obvious sign. It is important that you don’t ignore and eliminate any potential leak issues as some leak issues can lead to causing structural damage to your home.
Broken Roof Tiles – Cracked or Crumbling Pointing – Weathered Valley Irons – Slipped Tiles in the Valleys – Deteriorated Valley Seal – Blocked Gutters or Blocked Downpipes are common causes of leak issues and a good reason why you need to call M & M Roofing to guide you with the most effective solution of repairing your tile roof.
Roof maintenance is something that most homeowners do not consider until roof leaks present themselves during storm season. It’s easy to discard the roof that safeguards the interior of your home especially with the hectic lifestyles we all lead. A tile roof should be checked at least once a year before storm season.
Where you can identify broken roof tiles and cracked pointing these are all signs your tile roof needs maintenance. Neglecting your roof can also be stressful if you need to make an insurance claim for damages after storm season. Most insurance companies do not approve claims where it has been found that there has been little or no maintenance carried out to your tile roof.
If you are looking for an effective way to help with the cooling down of your home then consider having a couple of whirlybirds installed to your roof during a roof restoration.
