Your roofing is a big part of your house’s first impression and can bring down your street appeal if it is old and worn. Not to mention, an old roof needing maintenance can have some hidden problems that can cause major issues down the line. A roof restoration can elevate your street appeal and make your roof look like new.
Clear away debris
It’s important to clean out your gutters and roof flashing to prevent water from backing up and flowing into your roof space. If you have an air con unit, solar hot water unit or solar panel array on your roof, it’s important to clear away any leaf litter from around them too.
Repairing damaged tiles or flashing
Broken or missing tiles can cause water damage to your ceiling, which could eventually lead to ceiling collapse. Brown patches or sagging ceilings are telltale signs that water is getting into your roof space. Wet ceilings and insulation can also cause mould growth, which is harmful to your family as it causes respiratory conditions.
It’s important to replace any broken or missing tiles as soon as they occur, to prevent larger and more costly damage.
Asbestos coating
Asbestos sheets pose a risk as they age and break down or are damaged. Asbestos particles can cause several respiratory diseases, such as mesothelioma or asbestosis. Rainbow Roofing can seal your asbestos roofing sheets with our acrylic roof coating to prevent these dangerous fibres from breaking down and affecting your health.
Metal roofs
Metal roofing sheets don’t crack like terracotta or concrete ones, but they can rust or become loose over time. It’s important to secure loose sheets with new tek screws, replace rusty tek screws, treat the rust on any sheets and recoat them to prevent further corrosion.
Pressure washing
Once you’ve fixed any damages to your tiles, pressure washing your roof can make a big difference. Over time, algae and moss can grow on your tiles, causing white stains that bring down the look of your roof and age it. Pressure washing goes a long way in rejuvenating your roof’s appearance.
Recoating/Painting
The biggest change you can make to ensure your roof looks new again is a fresh coat of paint.
At Rainbow Roofing, we have a range of colours to choose from and can even colour-match to your existing roof colour. We coat your tile or metal roof in Nutech coating to repel dirt, retain gloss, and prevent chalking and fading.
