STEP 1

INSPECTION AND MEASURE

Prior to roof restoration, the roof and guttering is fully inspected for damage, wear and tear. It is also fully measured to enable our specialists to accurately price up your job, with no hidden extras.

STEP 2

HIGH PRESSURE CLEAN

We then get to clean the roof. Once the roof is free from debris, we then use a high pressure buffing washer. This removes the in-ground dirt and any grease that is left and will identify any other damage, cracks or worn joints.

STEP 3

REPAIR AND REPLACE

We then set out doing roof repairs, replacing any tiles or ridge caps that are broken or cracked and reseating any that have moved over time. Next we reseal all joints with flexible compound and repoint all ridge capping.

STEP 4

SEALER AND UNDERCOAT

Application of a quality acrylic sealer and undercoat system, designed specifically for adhesion and waterproofing is sprayed and allowed to cure for long lasting results.

STEP 5

ROOFING MEMBRANE

Finally to complete your SYDNEY roof restoration, the roof is repainted using a flexible Globalcote roofing membrane coloured to your choice. We continually spray the surface with multiple coats to ensure thickness and durability guarantee

FACTORS IMPACTING

ROOF PAINT COSTS

The cost of roof painting depends on by the amount of preparation, cleaning and repairs needed, the type of coating required for the roof, the price of the chosen paint product, the size of the roof, and the style, slope and accessibility of the roof.

ROOF PAINT

Homeowners should keep in mind that there are many types of coverings, and the best one will be the one that works for your roof type.

Bituminous coating: Bituminous coatings are a popular product to waterproof a roof. The coat is a naturally sticky substance that can is used under concrete or asphalt tiles. These coatings are made from bitumen, polyurethane or polyurea can form a waterproof membrane over certain roof substances. These are good for flat roofs that may hold standing water. If your roof contains asbestos, it’s essential to contact an asbestos specialist for an inspection. The coating can also be an option if asbestos encapsulation is recommended.

Silicone paint: Silicone or acrylic paints are considered the most environmentally sound, but they are also more expensive. If choosing this one, know that in the future, you can only repaint your roof with silicone. If you ever want to repaint with something else, the silicone must be removed completely.

Nanotechnology paint: A paint with nanotechnology is made to repel dirt. Often used for cars, nano-coating goes a step beyond most roof paints, with a rubber-like film and water-repellent structure making it easier to clean.

Once you know which paint formulas are possibilities for your roof type, make sure you choose from at least a medium to high-quality paint. Your choice of the quality of the paint will ensure better coverage and longer-lasting colour.

SIZE OF YOUR HOUSE

The amount of paint and the length of labour will go up with the size of the house. Multi-storey roofs add to the cost as well due to the higher risk involved for painters.

CONDITION OF YOUR ROOF

If you have to spend as much time patching as you do painting, you may start thinking about a new roof. Replacing your tiles can be expensive, especially if you opt for a terracotta tile or concrete tile. Fortunately, your roof may be worth restoring with these tiles due to their lifetime longevity.

TYPE OF ROOF

Generally a concrete, terracotta or similar tile roof is the most expensive. Asphalt and asbestos tiles can be renewed with a coat of paint. Respraying Colorbond and other metal roofs can give a home a whole new look.

ACCESSIBILITY

Other structures or trees can block access to your home, which can affect how much time is spent preparing or how long it will take to paint the roof. Other accessibility factors include the height and slope of your roof.

WEATHER CONDITIONS

Extreme heat is not suitable for painting. You want to schedule this activity when it won’t be affected by too much sun or rain. On a related subject, your home may need a heat-resistant paint that can withstand UV rays better. It’s helpful to know that polyurethane, polymeric or related coatings can cure rapidly even in the cold.

THE SLOPE OF THE ROOF

The slope of your roof can affect which paint you use and how expensive it is to paint the area. Specific coatings are made to cling rather than to roll down. Furthermore, a steep roof may require a painter to hire a hoist.

ROOF DESIGN

An elaborate layout, such as a multi-layered roof, may cost more due to its sophistication.

PREP-WORK

You will want to factor into any bid that your roof may require high-pressure cleaning. There may be minor roof repairs as well, which would be another expense. In some cases, broken tiles may have to be replaced, adding another cost to your final bill.

ROOFING MEMBRANE

Polymeric and bituminous coatings are necessary to repel water. You may want to consider them to ensure that water stays out of your home.
