It is not very often that we consider the life of our roof, here is why you would..
Roof Painting and Roof RestorationRoof Painting in Ballina and the hinterland is a natural progression from roof cleaning, as there are many scenarios where a roof that has been cleaned, will require painting - this is particularly true for roofs exposed to sea salt or mouldy conditions. With a dream team and the finest of Australian made specialist roof membranes, we can offer a fair priced and quality roof restoration, including pointing, repairs and re-tiling using our close roofing partner. We inspect, quote and complete all roof work and your end result is often considered like having a new roof! We'll stand by our workmanship and paint for years to come and can offer market leading products to extend the life of the coating.

Do you even need to paint your roof?As you can see in the picture above, this green roof is actually in very good condition despite there being some conjecture as to whether it may have required painting or not. It can sometimes be difficult to gauge as to how well your roof is doing when it’s covered in foliage and mould, so it’s worth asking us if your roof requires painting at all. It’s a significant investment to paint a roof in Ballina and surrounds, and there’s no point painting a perfectly good one, when it may have many years of service left in it. We will be happy to clean your roof if that’s all that is required – without any undue pressure to paint. It might be just a matter of preventative maintenance or perhaps we can make a recommendation on when you should start to budget for painting.

Colourbond roof paintingTin and Colorbond roofs in Ballina show-up all the imperfections of wear and tear and also newly applied paint if one is not careful. Not only are these surfaces more reflective of their treatment by the sea or in the sun, they also require great paint preparation to ensure the best job possible. All tin roofs are sealed using a tacky primer first, which seals the roof and provides an excellent texture for the paint to be applied to. Without a roof painter using a dedicated sealant or primer on tin roofs, paint flaking down the track can be a risk to the home owner. At Full Circle we then apply two coats of coloured paint which bonds incredibly well providing a fantastic look and durability for 10+ years.

What happens if you don't paint your roof...Whilst it’s obvious what happens if you don’t paint your roof (paint peels, fades, flakes or the tile and tin just degrades completely), it’s good to keep in mind a few practical factors when considering whether you do or don’t invest in your roof. For example, often on tin roofs in the Ballina area, screw heads start to rust first (especially near the sea). These rusting screw heads can be replaced and or if the rust is only mild, treated with converter – to avoid the rust spreading to tin panels which if left undetected will require full replacement. So too with tiled roofs, where pointing isn’t nipped in the bud, long term neglect can lead to much greater roof overhauls which become costly (not to mention risky to the home beneath the roof).

Before & After
Here we can see a roof that has been severely neglected; it’s roofing screws are in places beginning to rust quite considerably, paint has faded or gone powdery and even been stripped completely back to a bare surface after pressure cleaning.
The process followed was to replace about 1000 roofing screws, remove and replace quite a lot of silicone around inlets, exhaust pipes and where aerials were. It was primed and then sprayed with two thick coats of Shale Grey Roofing Membrane. All in all, this was a complete turn-around before more costly deterioration could set-in. |
