Roofing FAQS
Everything You Need To Know About Roof Restoration
What exactly is a roof restoration?
Your roof, like most things, will degrade over time and no longer function or look like new. A roof restoration refers to the process of restoring a roof to its former glory.
Roof flaws are identified and repaired during a roof restoration. A thorough roof cleaning is performed, followed by repointing, rebedding, and coating in the desired paint and sealant. Finally, the process is completed with a thorough site clean-up.
How long does it take to restore a roof?
A typical roof restoration can be completed in 2-3 days, assuming no setbacks occur. Our inspection process is usually thorough enough to uncover any issues that could cause a delay in the work.
Actual roof size, accessibility, height, and site access are all factors that can affect job duration. Weather can also have an impact on the duration of the job as well as the availability of specific materials.
How do I know if my roof requires restoration?
There are several reasons why you might want to have your roof restored. The main two reasons are if your roof is no longer functioning properly, such as leaking, and/or if your roof looks old and tired.
Another reason someone might have their roof restored is if they want to change the colour of their roof and choose from a variety of modern colours. This is an excellent time to have your roof inspected, maintained, and serviced.

What signs should I look for to see if my roof needs to be repaired?
There are a few signs you can look for that indicate your roof is not functioning properly to the untrained eye.
- Water leaking – If you have any leaks, such as puddles, this is a sure sign that your roof is failing.
- Discoloration – You may not have puddles, but water can sit on the topside of your ceiling and cause discoloration, indicating a roof leak. A roof leak is also indicated by discoloured down walls.
- Mould – Excessive mould growth could indicate that there is a problem with your roof.
Tiles that are cracked or broken should be repaired as soon as possible.
Aesthetically, you may notice that your roof is dirty or may have excessive mould growth, which is a good indication that you should have a professional look at it.
Finally, even if nothing appears to be wrong with your roof, it’s a good idea to get a health check if it’s been a long time since anyone has looked at it. If you should have any further questions or simply believe now is the time to have your roof inspected, please feel free to contact us today.
