A roof restoration is a way to add years back to a roof that's ageing rather than damaged: stained, covered in moss or algae, but structurally sound. It's a more involved process than a spot repair, and typically takes 2 to 4 days depending on how much work is needed.
Pressure cleaning to remove dirt, lichen and mould before any other work starts.
Resetting and sealing the ridge line.
For terracotta tile roofs where tiles have come loose.
A protective coating applied once the roof is clean and repaired.
The roof is inspected first, and any broken tiles or cracks are identified and repaired. Pressure cleaning follows, removing dirt, lichen and mould that's built up over time. Ridge capping is reset, then a protective coating is applied.
On a terracotta tile roof specifically, any loose tiles are re-bedded and re-pointed as part of the same job, not every tile, only the ones that actually need it.
A well-sealed, restored roof holds up better against future leaks and stops as much conditioned air escaping through a worn roof surface, which is where any energy-efficiency benefit actually comes from rather than anything more specific than that. Restoration extends the working life of a roof that's still structurally sound, without the cost of a full replacement.
Anyone quoting a firm price before seeing your roof is guessing. What we can tell you is what drives the number:
The single biggest factor.
A targeted repair costs less than restoring or replacing a whole roof.
Roof pitch, height and site access all affect the job.
Colorbond, tile and slate carry different costs and different lifespans.
Removing an existing roof or gutter system costs more than working on a prepared surface.
