When it comes to maintaining/restoring the roof of your house, a lot of people have the attitude … “out of sight, out of mind”! But burying one’s head in the sand can be asking for trouble.
In the same way that we maintain our cars to avoid major repair bills and extend the life of the vehicle … proactively looking after your roof is certainly the best way to avoid large unexpected repair/damage costs or having to replace it totally. And don’t forget … your roof is protecting everything underneath it, within your home!

- Proper sterilisation of the roof surface with a fungicidal wash to kill mould spores.
- Using the correct primer/sealer for the roof surface. Adhesion of the membrane roof coating, whether it be concrete, terracotta, iron, or fibro, depends on the correct primer/sealer being applied. Use the wrong primer/sealer or use none at all and your wasting your hard earned money!
- Surface rust must be treated. BRS use and recommend Penetrol rust inhibitor which seals out the moisture and stops the rust.
- Finally applying a sufficient amount of roof coating to the roof surface is paramount to the durability and longevity of the restored roof.
