Our Targeted Roof Tile Solutions: Brisbane South
When we repair or restore a tiled roof, we are careful to address each step individually. Tiled roofs are constructed from many different components and all parts of the roof rely on each other for strength and support. If one aspect is not done properly, then it can affect the quality of the entire roof. For this reason, we have developed a step-by- step process to restore, repair or replace each part of your tiled roof.
Site preparation: Safety measures
Before we begin working on your tiled roof, our priority is ensuring the appropriate safety measures have been taken. For this purpose we will set up guardrails and scaffolding as needed.
Identify all the broken tiles and replace them carefully
The first stage of our targeted restoration process is to remove broken tiles. To do this, we assess your roof carefully to identify all damaged tiles. The most common forms of damage are cracking and chipping. There are many things that can cause this, but usually it is merely the result of age and weather. Once these tiles have been replaced, we will take them away and dispose of them for you.
We will redo the capping on your roof
The second stage involves repairing the ridge and barge capping, as this weatherproofs the roof at the ridges and gable ends. To do this, we remove the old cement and clean the exposed surface. We then lay new bedding cement and fit the caps on this. Once the caps are in place, we apply a flexible pointing product. The flexibility allows it to expand and contract with changes in temperature, to avoid cracking.
We can replace valleys, flashings and clips
Finally, we can address other featured of your roof such as the valleys, flashing and clips. Old valleys are quite prone to rust, so replacing them is often necessary. We only use the finest ZINCALUME® Steel or COLOURBOND® Steel replacements. Likewise, we replace flashings using a high quality Wakaflex flashing, which is malleable to allow for a tighter seal. Finally, we will redo your tile clips, to ensure that there are no leaks.
Frequently Asked Questions
#1 Will you be able to find replacement tiles that match the colour and style of my existing ones?
In most cases, we can match the style and colour of our replacement tiles, with your current ones. To do this, we maintain several suppliers who even offer second hand tiles. This means that we have access to a vast range of roof tiles across Brisbane’s south. In the even that we can’t, however, we will relocate the inconsistent tiles to an inconspicuous part of your roof.
#2 Can you fix leaks in my tiled roof?
Here at Strongguard, we are experts when it comes to identifying and diagnosing leaks. We will pinpoint the source of your leak and use quality products to fix the leak. All of our fixes are long term and they are designed to strengthen your roof for the future.
#3 Will you change any broken tiles as a part of the restoration?
Repairing broken tiles is a standard inclusion in our roof repairs and restorations. We will locate all deteriorating or broken tiles on your roof and replace them. We will even dispose of the broken tiles on your behalf.
#4 What are weep holes and does my roof have them?
All tiled roofs have weep holes, as they are an important feature when it comes to preventing leaks. Weep holes are basically narrow holes that run from the pointing, down through the bedding. Essentially, they allow any water or moisture to escape, so that the ridge caps of your tiles do not become saturated. This ensures that your tiles don’t leak.
#5 Why are my tile clips leaking and can you fix them?
Tile clips often leak if they are not well suited to the tiles in question. Fortunately, it is an easy fix in most cases and if there are only a few leaks then we can fix them from inside the roof. If there are too many leaks, however, we will have to re-clip your roof. This involves removing all the tiles and refitting them with new clips.
