To minimise wear and tear and reduce the risk of leaks, clear blocked gutters, downpipes, or valleys of debris, replace cracked or broken tiles, and strengthen mortar bedding by re-bedding or re-pointing hip and ridge capping. For a thorough inspection, contact Right Choice Roofing for professional maintenance services.
A full roof restoration renovates your entire roof, leaving it stronger and looking brand new. The process includes high-pressure cleaning, replacing broken tiles, re-bedding, flexible pointing, gutter cleaning, and a three-coat paint system (primer, base, and topcoat).
This process restores the cement work on your roof by replacing old bedding with new sand and cement, repairing chipped tiles, and applying flexible pointing for extra durability. All debris is removed upon completion.
Typically, roof restoration takes 2 to 4 days, depending on the complexity of the job and weather conditions.
Lichen is a moss-like growth on roof tiles. While it doesn’t indicate poor tile quality, severe growth may affect performance. Right Choice Roofing can safely remove lichen using hydro and high-pressure cleaning systems.
Concrete tiles can be resprayed using appropriate materials, but respraying terracotta tiles is not recommended as it may damage their natural clay surface.
Costs depend on the roof size, type, pitch, and materials used. Provide your requirements for an accurate quote.
Concrete tiles fade over time due to UV exposure, while terracotta tiles retain their colour thanks to their kiln-fired vitreous coating, which resists UV radiation and pollutants.
Sarking is highly recommended as it provides a water-resistant, fire-retardant barrier that improves energy efficiency and protects your roof from wear and tear.
White streaks, known as efflorescence, result from mineral salts in concrete migrating to the surface. This is harmless and doesn’t affect tile performance.
