Why This Narre Warren Roof Needed Urgent Attention
This Narre Warren property featured a large tiled roof that had become worn, weather-stained, and patchy over time. The original coating had lost its colour and protection, leaving the tiles exposed to the elements and visibly faded across multiple sections. Dirt streaks, lichen buildup, and ageing ridge capping were present throughout.
The roof’s condition made it an ideal candidate for a full restoration. The goal was to refresh the look, seal the surface properly, and restore its resistance to UV, wind, and water.
Our Step-by-Step Roof Restoration Process
1. Surface Assessment and Prep
We began by assessing the entire roof, noting areas of surface degradation, edge wear, and buildup of grime. The valleys and ridgelines showed signs of age, and several sections were marked by heavy discolouration and organic growth.
2. Industrial Roof Cleaning
Using a commercial pressure washing system, we deep-cleaned the entire tile surface to remove dirt, algae, moss, and pollutants. This process also allowed us to identify any compromised tiles that needed replacing.
3. Tile Replacement and Repointing
Damaged or cracked tiles were replaced with matching profiles, and all ridge capping was re-bedded and repointed using a high-flexibility compound to ensure long-term movement resistance.
4. Primer Application
A clear penetrating sealer was applied to bond and stabilise the tiles, forming a foundation for the top coats. This is a critical step to prevent future peeling or flaking.
5. High-Gloss Roof Coating in Light Cream
We completed the restoration with two coats of a premium-grade roof membrane in a light cream finish. The colour choice significantly improved the home’s street presence and can also help with heat reflectivity during summer.
The Results: A Brighter Roof With a Longer Life
This Narre Warren roof is a clear example of how a professional restoration can completely transform the appearance and durability of an older tile roof. The shift from dull and streaked to clean and high-gloss was achieved through a structured restoration process backed by high-grade materials.
A restored roof doesn’t just improve how your home looks — it strengthens it against the elements and extends the service life of your existing tiles.
