DIY Tips

This is the first of a series of helpful tips on how you can make simple repairs to your roof and reduce the possibility that you made need a roof restoration in future.

First up… SAFETY!

Repairing roofs can be a dangerous job if the correct precautions are not taken. The following safety tips should be adhered to attentively:

If you’re susceptible to dizziness or fainting spells, or have a general dislike of heights, doing your own roof repair may not be a good idea.
Start roof repair early in the morning or wait until later in the evening.
In the middle of the day you’ll be in direct sunlight, without any shade or opportunity for a break.
If you must do your repair during the middle of the day, ensure you take adequate sun care precautions.
Don’t do roof repair on your own. Make sure someone is nearby in case you need help.
Have a sturdy ladder, for getting onto and off the roof, and ensure someone is holding the ladder as you ascend and descend.
If you do metal roof repair and have to cut sheet metal be very careful. The edges are extremely sharp.

As you can see from this image, we construct safety railing before beginning a roof restoration, to make the work area as safe as possible. Not everyone can go to these lengths to ensure safety, but every little bit counts.

Roof Bedding and Re-bedding

Bedding is the cement which is laid to secure the capping to the roof, and it is vital that this be maintained to prevent leaks and further wear of your roof.

Over a period of a time it is likely that the bedding will crack and sometimes fall apart, leaving the tiles exposed and unsecured. If this is occurring with your roof, call the specialist team at Total Roof Restorations to come and take a look.

To understand the process a little better, take a quick moment to watch our Roof Bedding and Re-bedding video below.

The roof repair and restoration specialists!

totalroof — Mon, 27 Aug 2012 02:32:11 +0000

As our name implies, we specialise in full roof restorations. Your roof will look entirely new after we have restored it! We will replace all chipped and broken tiles, replace rusted valley irons, pressure clean your roof with 3,500psi water pressure and remove, re-bed and point all cement work.

For cement tiles, we only use our superior 3-coat sealing system, which includes primer, sealer and topcoat. You will also get at least 6 coated tiles as spares for future use, and we will clean down your roof and remove all rubbish.

See our roofing questions & answers page for further details.

Professional Roof Cleaning

Dirty roof? Let us pressure-wash it for you and your roof will come out looking spotless! Using high-pressure water at 3,500psi, we will wash and rinse down your entire roof and do a complete clean out of your gutters. We’ll get rid of all moss, lichens, leaves and other dirt off your roof. As part of our service, we will also hose down and clean the outside of your gutters, fascias, windows, paths and other surrounding areas. Most terracotta roofs will look brand new after we’ve pressure washed it.
