ROOF MAINTENANCE

Sometimes, roof Re-Surfacing is not enough and sometimes there are repairs that must be done. We will do these on a case by case basis, quoting you of course beforehand; sometimes it can mean major work. Should this be required, we are pleased to say that we are in a position to do this for you.. Our work is carried out by qualified tradesmen . Minor work may include

For us, roof Re-Surfacing is the art of giving you a new roof without replacing the old. The reason for this is that after the years, a lot of what looks like damage is simply dirt and that dirt and dust is not just lying there but it is BAKED ON with the hot Australian sun.

Before we do any work, the entire roof is inspected for damaged tiles and cleaned of moss/lichen etc. Sometimes, damaged tiles and iron sheeting needs to be replaced although this is not often. We a Guttermesh replace original tile roofs that are beyond the point of repair with new tile roofs in terracotta or concrete.

The roof will be clean generally with cleaned high pressure water water sprays before we apply our modern technology sealants and primers. When you clean and resurface the roof, you have cleaned and resurfaced 40-50 % of your home. This that is why it is important to get the job done right the first time. A modern restoration will greatly improve the overall appearance of the home & its value.

TILE ROOF REPLACEMENT

Because Guttermesh now provides a complete roofing solution, extending the life span of your roof. We try to replace only what is needed. We do the minor repairs to roof tiles before cleaning and application of our high technology products. But sometimes more is needed! You should not wait for your tiles to become worn and brittle before replacing them. Broken tiles will allow water in and this can cause structural damage, that will mean there will be more than just a simple tile replacement.

We will remove the grout from around the roof tiles, remove the broken roof tiles, clean out all debris from the hole, and scrape out lumps in the mortar and adhesive. We fit and test fit the new roof tiles and ensure they sit straight, level and proper next to the adjacent roof tiles.

Sometimes however more may be needed. Modern tile roof replacement is not like it was in the past; methods and technologies have improved greatly. This is both transform and upgrade your old tile roof. We can, when it is needed, organise this sort of repair for you. We can when it is required do a complete tile roof replacement. Here we will use roof tilers, qualified in all aspects of roof tiling and roof maintenance. And when we do this, even with new roofs, we recommend the application of the new technology sealers and coatings.

When you do a tile roof replacement, it is best to stick to the same type of tile as you were using. As a concrete tile roof is substantially heavier than a terracotta roof, strengthening of timber rafters may need to be performed if replacing terracotta with concrete. Such a cost is rarely warranted for there is really not practical benefit when the real brilliance of the roof comes from our special high technology sealants.

The tiles that we supply come in a large variety of sizes, shapes and colours so we will be sure to be able to match your existing tiles. Today, with modern production methods and efficiencies you can be sure that both concrete tiles and terracotta tiles will be an affordable roofing solution. Prices vary according to the type of tile required (the concrete cement tiles generally are slightly cheaper).

GUTTERING DOWNPIPES & FASCIAS

Water is really the enemy of the house. The roof protects against this but it is important to remember that downpipes and fascias must be in good order to stop the inroad of water as well.
