ROOF REPOINTING MELBOURNE

EXPERIENCED PROFESSIONALS FOR ROOF REPOINTING IN MELBOURNE

The roof of your home comprises various parts that work together to create an ideal indoor environment. Bedding (the mortar holding the roof tiles in position) and pointing (the second layer of cement/mortar atop the bedding for sealing and avoiding dirt or moisture ingress) are two elements that keep roof tiles in place and prevent leaks.

In the 1990s, contractors used cement mortar as the primary ingredient in these elements. However, this material is not drable over time and prone to cracking and crumbling away.
As a result, there is a need for roof repointing in Melbourne. Traditional Roofing is a reliable contractor that deals with all aspects relating to your roof.
To meet Australian Standards today, all pointing applied must be flexible pointing.

WHEN SHOULD YOU START CONSIDERING REPOINTING YOUR ROOF TILES?

A general rule is that any roof should last around two decades; after that, it could be time for a replacement or a full restoration. However, conditions are never perfect, and the materials on your roof can be exposed to harsh weather elements and other factors, reducing their longevity. If your home is older than 15 years, you may require the services of a roofing contractor to inspect the entire roof thoroughly and direct you accordingly.

SIGNS YOU NEED ROOF POINTING REPAIRS

The roof is the first barrier of protection for your home and as such, its condition is critical to its function. When roof tiles become loose or break, it can be the result of damaged bedding or pointing. While it’s challenging to inspect your roof frequently, you should occasionally search for these signs that indicate you require repairs or repointing for your roof tiles. Roofing contractors can also climb up onto your roof safely, to check the tiles to see if they’re still solid.
If you find any roof tiles that seem loose or wobbly, this is a sign that you may require either repairs or replacement. Loose roof tiles can cause damage to your home, as these can cause water leaks that can damage your furniture and appliances.
Due to exposure to several external elements, such as wind, rain, or falling temperatures, the roof tile coating may be worn off entirely, in which case it’s time to recruit a professional.
Does it seem like your roof is sagging? A noticeable slump in the roof is cause for concern as it may demonstrate some structural damage. In this case, it’s best to have contractors immediately check to prevent any further structural damage to your home.
This is another indication that there is a water leak in your roof, the causes of which include cracks, holes, and loose tiles in your roof tiles.

It’s important to catch any of these signs early on. Making arrangements for doing repairs and repointing roof tiles, after all, is good practice to ensure that your home and all its belongings and furnishings are safe, secure, and protected from exterior elements.

BENEFITS OF ROOF SEALING IN MELBOURNE

Traditional Roofing uses one coat of sealant with every roof paint project. Roof sealant adds a layer of protection to your roof. Roof tiles are there to protect the interior of the home while a roof seal and paint on your Melbourne home will return your roof back to its former glory.

When a roofing contractor installs roof sealing, you can expect it to be waterproof. As a result, rain and other forms of precipitation won’t cause severe damage to the surface. Furthermore, most sealants are breathable and allow moisture from activities such as cooking and showering within the building to escape through the roof.

Apart from external moisture, the sun’s rays can cause serious damage to your roof. The UV rays can cause the top coating of the concrete tile to deteriorate rapidly. You can reinvigorate your worn concrete tiles by applying a sealant and paint.

Roof repainting with sealant may stop rainwater from weathering the surface of the concrete tiles – extending the life of the roof, whilst improving the look of your roof and the façade of your home.
