Every roof needs regular maintenance. Roof maintenance keeps your roof clean and provides regular opportunities to find and fix minor issues before they become big issues.
Why wait until you need full-blown, maybe costly roof repairs, when you can fix the little things as they arise and keep your roof in good shape? After all, it’s there to protect your property and the people living or working in it.
What does tile roof maintenance include?
Sunlight, hail and strong winds can crack tiles, move them, dry sealing material and leave gaps, where moisture can seep in and make its way onto the property below. Nature can also leave the roof looking dirty.
For tile roofs, regular service includes:
- Debris cleaning
- Inspection and fixing of cracked pointing
- Inspection and fixing of broken or cracked tiles
- Inspection and re-sealing of skylights, chimneys and whirlybirds
This keeps your Brisbane roof healthy and prevents water leaks through the roof into the house or building.
What does metal roof maintenance include?
Any metal exposed to the elements rusts over time, particularly where the air is salty and/or the rain is acidic. Enough rust and corrosion can lead to openings and cracks in the metal, where water can leak onto the house.
Metal roof sheets can also move and warp under the sun’s heat, hail or strong winds. Ground movement can also move the house, and with it, the roof. This can open seals and forms gaps that allow moisture to penetrate. It can also allow water to pool, which accelerates rusting and corrosion.
For metal roofs (steel, aluminium, copper or zinc alloy), regular service includes:
- Debris cleaning
- Inspection and fixing of roof sheets with rust and minor water penetration
- Inspection and replacement of screws with rust and minor water penetration
- Inspection and re-sealing of skylights, chimneys and whirlybirds
