Restoration Can Fix It

Tiled roofs are a popular choice for Sunshine Coast homes, they are durable, aesthetically pleasing 
and weather resistant. However, over time even the strongest roofs will show wear and tear from 
constant exposure to the elements. If left unaddressed small issues can lead to costly repairs or 
even a full roof replacement.
So, what are the most common problems with tiled roofs and how can 
tiled roof restoration in Sunshine Coast help?
Cracked or Broken Tiles
Tiles can crack due to extreme weather, falling debris or natural aging. A single broken tile might not 
seem like a big deal but it can allow water to seep into the roof structure and cause leaks and 
internal damage.
How Restoration Helps:
A professional roof restoration includes identifying and replacing damaged tiles so your roof 
remains watertight and protected from further damage.
Roof Leaks and Water Damage
Have you noticed water stains on your ceiling? Leaks are a common issue with tiled roofs, caused by 
displaced tiles, deteriorated sealants or damaged flashing. Left unchecked leaks can lead to mould growth 
and structural issues.
How Restoration Helps:
Roof restoration experts will identify the source of the leak and fix the problem. They will also apply a 
protective coating to prevent further water penetration.
Mould, Moss and Lichen Growth
The Sunshine Coast’s humid climate is perfect for moss and lichen to grow between the tiles making them 
slippery and fragile. Over time this will cause the tiles to shift or degrade.
How Restoration Helps:
A high-pressure roof clean removes the moss, mould and lichen and gets your roof looking like new again. 
Protective treatments can also be applied to prevent further growth.
Fading and Discoloration
Tiled roofs can fade due to constant sun exposure, rain and pollution. A faded roof can make your whole 
house look older and less desirable.
How Restoration Helps:
Roof restoration involves re-coating the tiles with high quality, UV resistant paint and will make your roof 
look brand new again.
Weakened Roof Ridge Capping
The ridge capping holds your roof tiles together and prevents water entry. Over time the mortar holding 
the ridge capping can crack and cause loose tiles and leaks.
How Restoration Helps:
A professional restoration includes repointing and re-bedding of the ridge capping so its secure and 
weather tight.
