1. Replacement of all Broken Roof Tiles.

Roof tiles are exposed to harsh climate elements and to structural shifts in the ground and across house frames. Over time, tiles can either crack or have their protective coating worn off.  This causes your roof tiles  to become porous and fill with moisture or gain a build up of moss and lichen. Cracks and rot can also eventuate. Melbourne Roof Cleaning and Restoration will inspect the tiles and will replace or repair broken ones.

2. High Pressure Roof Cleaning.

Roofs in Melbourne get dirty as a result of air particles, resulting in mould, fungus and lichen growth.  Both cement and terracotta roofs are prone to this.  High pressure cleaning equipment is used by Melbourne Roof Cleaning and Restoration to eliminate this dirt and mould. Gutters and high external walls affected by dirt are also cleaned.

3. Repair Roof Valley Irons. Flashings and Battens.

On many occasions, valley irons may become rusted over time and may need replacing. In addition, lead flashings or timber battens may also need to be repaired. Melbourne Roof Cleaning and Restoration will advise if this is required and will address any affected areas.

Re-Bedding Roof I4. Re-Bedding of Roof Ridges.

Roof Ridges play a significant role in protecting your roof.  Re-bedding means that the capping tiles are lifted and the old mortar is removed and replaced as required. The caps are then reset using quality materials.

5. Re-Pointing Roof Ridges, Capping and Gables.

All Roof Ridge capping and gables are then Re-pointed ensuring colours match. This will provide the roof with a “like new” roof appearance.

 

6. Applying Roof Sealer.

In a roof restoration, the roof is then sealed using a solvent based material. This sealer protects the roof from becoming porous, which in turn protects it from the elements, absorption of moisture and potential structural damage.

7. Colour Coating Roof.

Two coats of Nutech paint, in your choice of colours (over 40 colours to choose from) is applied on your roof as part of the roof restoration. This will provide a thick glossy protective coating that will also transform the appearance of your roof and entire home. Melbourne Roof Cleaning and Restoration are also skilled at exterior design and can advise on the best options for colours, if you require extra assistance.
