Terracotta Roof Restoration by ABC Roof Restoration Brisbane – Preserve Beauty & Strength
Terracotta roofs are prized for their classic appearance, natural durability, and timeless charm. However, over years of exposure to Brisbane’s weather, terracotta tiles can suffer from moss and lichen buildup, cracked or broken tiles, and degraded ridge capping. ABC Roof Restoration Brisbane specialises in restoring terracotta roofs to their original condition while preserving their authentic character and structural integrity.
Step-By-Step Terracotta Roof Restoration Process
Comprehensive Roof Inspection
Experienced technicians start with a thorough inspection to assess the condition of the terracotta tiles, ridge capping, flashings, gutters, and any signs of leaks or structural damage. This helps determine the scope of restoration needed.
Gentle High-Pressure Cleaning
The roof is carefully cleaned using controlled high-pressure washing to remove moss, lichen, dirt, and grime without damaging the delicate terracotta tiles. This step refreshes the roof’s surface and prepares it for restoration treatments.
Tile Replacement and Repairs
Any cracked, chipped, or broken tiles are replaced with colour-matched terracotta tiles to maintain uniformity. Ridge caps are re-bedded and repointed with flexible mortar to secure the roof’s waterproof seal and structural strength.
Application of Protective Sealant
Unlike other roofing types, terracotta tiles are typically not painted. Instead, a breathable, clear protective sealant is applied. This sealant enhances the natural colour of the tiles, prevents water penetration, and inhibits future moss and algae growth while allowing the tiles to “breathe” and avoid moisture trapping.
Gutter and Flashing Repairs
Gutters and flashings are inspected and repaired as necessary to ensure proper drainage and prevent water damage to the roof structure.
Final Inspection & Customer Walkthrough
A final quality check ensures the roof is restored to the highest standards. The team walks through the completed work with the customer to confirm satisfaction.
