Our procedure: Tiles Terracotta roof tiles become very brittle if not maintained, all broken or chipped tiles are replaced in a roof restoration. Leaks, flashings, flues & valleys Most common roof leaks are found to be displaced roof flashings, rusted valleys; or seals around skylights, ventilation & flues, all these areas will be noted at the quotation stage and checked in the roof restoration stage. Ridge capping Ridge capping is a common problem in terracotta tile roofs with the caps mortar being cracked or displaced, if the ridging cap has collapsed it will need re-bedded, cracks in the ridge caps will be fixed using our flexible tile roofing product called flexi and is a common procedure in a roof tile restoration. Pressure Cleaning The roof has a build up of dirt, moss & liken that requires pressure cleaning in order to clean the tile roofing surface prior to a restoration. This is the messy part of the roof restoration and any mess will be cleaned up at the end of the day, roof leaks are minimal to none during the roofs clean process. Fungal Treatment Once the tiled roof clean has been completed a fungal agent is applied to kill any spores that are on the roofs surface. Roof Paint - Roof Sealant It’s not recommended to paint glazed or semi glazed terracotta tile roofing as the roof sealers or roof paint products struggle to bond with the glazed roof tile surface. Upon inspection we will be able to advise the best tile roof treatment for your home. Westcoat only uses the highest grade of tile roof paints, which are Nu-Techs acrylic roof membranes; they are not like the standard tile roofing paints that are watery with fast wearing features.
