Roof Restorations
ROOF RESTORATION
Restoring an old, worn out or damaged roof will improve the overall appeal of your home. A restored roof will reflect the heat more effectively, making your home more protected from the outside elements and more energy efficient reducing the cost of your heating and cooling bills.
GET IN TOUCH
Our restorations involve high pressure cleaning, replacement of broken tiles, re bedding and pointing of ridge caps, and priming and or master sealing of tiles. The final touch is three coats of premium Xtreme high gloss paint in the colour of your choice.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Can I get my roof restored all year round?
- The type of roof you have will determine the best time of year to have it restored. Colder months are best for terracotta restorations, re-bedding and pointing. Warmer months are best for other restorations especially those that involve painting.
- We restore both cement and terracotta roof tiles as well as iron roofs (provided they’re in good condition). We can replace decrabond, slate and asbestos roofing but not restore these types.
TERRACOTTA RESTORATIONS
Terracotta roof restoration can increase your property value and increase the street appeal of your house. A restored tile roof involves high pressure cleaning, replacing broken tiles, bedding and pointing of ridge caps and protection against pests.
METAL RESTORATIONS
Metal roofing is low maintenance and has great street appeal. Restoration can extend the life of your metal roof, saving you money in the long term.

BEDDING
Bedding is the process of removing all ridge caps and replacing the cement underneath. Evidence of cracks or moss growing out of your ridge caps is the first sign that breakdown is occurring.
GET IN TOUCH
Understanding the condition of your ridge caps will go a long way in saving you money. If the bedding underneath ridge caps is exposed to consistent moisture the breakdown of your ridge caps is accelerated leading to more leaks and ongoing issues.
POINTING
Flexi-point is a compound mixture (sand, cement & rubber) that adheres to both the bedding, tiles and ridge caps to ensure binding of all materials. This is applied after the bedding process and has a C4 wind classification according to Australian standards.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Should I bed and point my valleys?
- The bedding and pointing of valleys has proved to cause rust and corrosion when exposed to moisture. We highly recommend using a product called valley seal or simply clipping all valley cut tiles.
- Moss growing from your ridge caps or cracks in tiles is the first sign that breakdown is occurring. Understanding the condition of your roof will save you money.
ROOF DE MOSS
Lichen and moss build up is one of the main causes of roof leaks and degradation of your tiles and roofing iron. De mossing is generally a two step process:
GET IN TOUCH
1. High pressure cleaning the entire surface, ensuring all organic material has been removed.
2. Treat the bacteria which caused the moss and lichen to grow with an anti fungicide. This process kills the bacteria and significantly delays the return of unwanted moss and lichen.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What are the benefits of de mossing?
- De mossing reduces chances of leaks and is aesthetically pleasing.
- Reappearance of moss or lichen is dependent on weather conditions and location. While it is almost impossible to stop our process of treating the bacteria can significantly delay its return. In the right environment it can take up to 10 years to return.
