Why renovate an old roof?
Over time the elements and environmental factors take their toll on your roof. From the 1950s traditional slate roofing tiles declined in favour of cheaper pre-cast concrete tiles. Often available in vibrant colours architects favoured these roof tiles as they complemented their bright, modern designs. Unfortunately pigment and pre-cast technology was not as advanced as in today’s tiles and the roof tiles original vibrant colours faded to the now familiar dull grey. In addition, quality varied and some tiles had a design life of only 25 years. Today in extreme cases the tile surface breaks down, becoming porous, retaining moisture and encouraging the growth of unsightly moss, green mould and lichens. The retained moisture also increases load on the roof trusses and ultimately leaks to the inside walls, showing up as damp patches. In most cases renovation, including careful repair of structural defects followed by application of “Kolourseal”, will provide high quality restoration of the vibrant colours that were so appealing in the original roof tiles and re-seals them against the elements.
