DUE TO FAR NORTH QUEENSLAND'S INTENSE UV EXPOSURE, SALT AIR & HEAVY RAIN ... Roofs often need repainting sooner than in southern states. Does your roof have a chalky surface? If you rub your hand on the roof surface and get a white, powdery residue, that’s chalking. This means UV exposure has broken down the coating, a clear sign it needs repainting. Is there visible rust on the metal sheeting? If you notice rust spots, brown streaks running down the sheets or rust around the screws it may be time to consider re screwing and painting. The salt air accelerates corrosion in North Queensland and surface rusting means the protective coating has failed. Repainting with a roof membrane coating can help to prolong the lifespan of the roofing material. If your roof is more than 10 years old, it may be time to consider restoring the existing roofing with re-screwing, cleaning, sealing and painting. Contact us for a free quote.
