- Sealing/priming and protective coatings (tile) or recoat (metal)
Restoration vs replacement
If the roof structure and most tiles are sound but the surface and pointing are tired, restoration is usually far better value than replacement. If tiles are widely failing or the roof leaks in many places, replacement may be the smarter spend. A roofer will tell you honestly which you're at.
Frequently asked questions
How long does a roof restoration take?
Most homes take a few days depending on size, weather and the work involved.
Is restoration worth it?
If the roof is structurally sound but weathered, restoration extends its life for a fraction of replacement cost.
Does restoration stop leaks?
It addresses the common leak points (cracked tiles, failed pointing) — active leaks should be diagnosed and repaired as part of the work.
