Metal Roof Restoration
Bring your roof back to it's former glory
Having been in the roof restoration industry for 20 years I cannot emphasise enough the importance of preparation and quality products.
Bearing in mind that every roof is different, here are some of the common things I look out for:
- Safe Work Assessment:
Before either myself or my workers commence your roof restoration we develop a safe work method statement. - Rust Spots:
An rust-inhibitor needs to be applied to stop the rusting process advancing any further. - Pressure Cleaning:
Along with the right sterilisers, I only use the right equipment such as turbo heads and adequate machinery. Preparation is key. - Etch Primer:
This step is necessary for the roof coatings to be able to bond adequately to the surface. - Roof Spraying:
There is a great difference in the primers, sealers and top coats on the market. Attention to detail (such as changing the spray tip) makes a big difference to the finished look of your roof. - Cool Roof:
This is a very effective additive that keeps your roof from heating up under direct sunlight.
