Roof painting, starting with an honest assessment

A coating can refresh and protect a sound roof. It won’t fix broken tiles, rusted-through sheeting or leaks. So we look at the roof first and tell you plainly whether painting it makes sense.

Questions people ask about roof painting

Still have a question? Call or text 0466 874 653, or ask in the quote form.

No. The roof needs to be structurally sound and the surface suitable for the coating system. We’ll tell you if coating isn’t the right option.

Tile and metal roofs can both be coated when the surface is suitable and the product is made for that material. Tell us which you have when you enquire.

Not always. Restoration often includes roofing repairs, such as replacing tiles or re-pointing ridge capping. Ask us exactly what your quote includes.

It depends on the roof, the preparation, the product and the exposure. We won’t promise a figure we can’t stand behind. Ask about the manufacturer’s information for the system proposed.

Yes. Mention them in your enquiry and we’ll tell you where to send them.
