Introduction
Maintenance on tile roofs must be done regularly. Being in the sun for most of the day, tile roofs get attacked by UV all the time. It leads to deterioration of the paint and waterproofing alike.
Description
This tile roof was in a reasonable condition but did need replacement of waterproofing and a fresh layer of paint.
Problem
Tile roof tends to deteriorate in the sun and here it was no different. Oxidation of the waterproofing and paint was helped along by the UV rays.
Possible outcome
Left for much longer, water will enter the roof which leads to timber rot and the growth of mould. Needles to say, the roof structure will fail and mould will lead to medical conditions. Financial expenses that could be prevented.
Recommendation
It is highly recommended that any roof repairs needed must be done now. Waterproofing and painting will protect the inside of the roof as well as the roof tiles.
Decision with customer/owner
A deal was struck with the owner and the work can proceed.
Performed task
Clean the whole area with a high-power hose to get rid of all dust and debris. Remove redundant waterproofing to make way for fresh waterproofing. Replace any broken timber and reinforce the weekend structure to ensure the structure will carry the load. Place new waterproofing on hips, valleys, flashing and plumbers vents. After the roof is properly waterproofed it is painted with a good quality UV resistant paint.
Result
All repairs were completed, waterproofing applied and painting executed successfully. The property is ready to protect it’s occupants completely.
