Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Restoration works with the roof you have; replacement removes it. A restoration typically involves cleaning, re-bedding and re-pointing ridge caps, replacing broken tiles and applying protective coatings. Replacement strips the roof back and installs new material. Restoration suits a structurally sound roof, replacement a failed one.
An inspection is the only reliable way. Broken or slipped tiles, crumbling pointing along the ridge caps, rust in the valleys and staining on ceilings all signal something needs attention, but whether that means a repair, a restoration or a replacement depends on what is found underneath.
Both, though they need different work. Tile roofs are restored through re-bedding, re-pointing and coating. Metal roofs are treated for rust, have fasteners and flashings checked, and are recoated. The material also determines what a replacement involves, since battens and insulation may need changing too.
Some of it does. Roof plumbing work, which covers gutters, downpipes, flashings and roof sheeting, is licensed work in Victoria and must be carried out by a licensed plumber who issues a compliance certificate. Cleaning, painting and coating are not licensed in the same way.
It depends on the coating and the preparation beneath it. A properly prepared restoration with a quality coating system lasts many years before recoating is needed, while poor preparation shortens that considerably. Coastal exposure around Geelong and the Bellarine adds salt, which shortens the interval further.
Most of the year, weather permitting. Coatings need dry surfaces and a temperature range to cure properly, so sustained rain, heavy dew or very cold days push work back. Spring and autumn tend to be most reliable, though work is scheduled around forecasts rather than seasons.
