Roof repair and restoration project in Gisborne, VIC
Sky Ways Roofing completed a comprehensive roof restoration in Gisborne at the start of September, taking advantage of ideal painting season conditions. This project combined essential repairs, thorough cleaning, and premium roof painting to restore both the protection and appearance of this home's tiled roof.
Tile replacement and structural repairs
The first phase involved replacing several broken tiles that had deteriorated over time. Damaged tiles compromise the roof's ability to shed water properly, leaving the home vulnerable to leaks. Our team carefully removed each broken tile and installed quality replacements, ensuring a watertight seal and restoring the roof's structural integrity.
Ridge capping repointing with flexible mortar
The ridge capping required significant attention, with old mortar showing signs of cracking and deterioration. We removed the failing mortar and applied fresh Dulux flexible pointing to all ridge capping. This modern pointing material moves naturally with the roof's expansion and contraction, preventing future cracks and providing long-lasting weather protection.
Gutter cleaning for proper drainage
Before painting could begin, we addressed the gutters, which were heavily clogged with leaves and debris. Clean gutters are essential for directing water away from the roof and foundation. Our team cleared all guttering, ensuring proper water flow and preventing overflow issues during Melbourne's wet months.
High-pressure cleaning and premium roof painting
We high-pressure cleaned the entire roof surface to remove accumulated dirt, moss, and organic growth. This step is critical for paint adhesion and long-term performance. Once the roof was thoroughly cleaned and dried, we applied one coat of Dulux primer followed by two coats of Acratex roof membrane paint—a premium product specifically designed to withstand Australia's harsh UV exposure and weather extremes.
The result: a fully restored roof
This Gisborne home now benefits from comprehensive protection against leaks, improved weather resistance, and refreshed curb appeal. For expert tile roof repairs, roof painting & sealing, and tile roof repointing across Melbourne, contact Sky Ways Roofing.
