Roof restoration project in Sunbury
This Sunbury home received a complete roof transformation during the summer of 2024, bringing new life and durability to the property. The project was carried out over three days and involved a full roof restoration process.
Step 1: Roof pressure cleaning
On day one, our team pressure cleaned the entire roof to remove years of built-up dirt, moss, and debris. A thorough clean is the first and most important step in preparing a roof for restoration, as it allows for proper adhesion of primers and coatings.
Step 2: Flexible pointing to ridge capping
On day two, we applied flexible pointing to all ridge capping. Unlike older cement mortar, flexible pointing is designed to expand and contract with natural roof movement, providing a strong, long-lasting seal that prevents cracking and water ingress.
Step 3: Dulux Acratex roof painting
On the final day, we coated the roof with one layer of primer followed by two coats of Dulux Acratex roof paint – a premium product known for its outstanding durability against Australia's harsh weather conditions. The original terracotta roof was refreshed with a sleek Wallaby grey finish, instantly modernising the home's appearance and boosting its street appeal.
Challenges during the project
Weather conditions proved to be the biggest challenge, as the job required a perfect day with no wind or rain. The grooves in the tiles also demanded extra care to ensure every coat was applied evenly. In the end, the results were worth it – the homeowners were thrilled with both the new look and the added protection for their roof.
