An uncoated metal roof corrodes and replacement costs hundreds of thousands. A renewal coating every 8-12 years keeps it functional for a fraction of the price, and we apply it from ropes, avoiding scaffolding which on a tall building would cost more than the coating itself.
A process that stands the test of time
We first wash the roof with high-pressure water and mechanically remove rust and old flaking paint. Joints and penetrations are treated separately, then we apply a primer and two coats of topcoat designed for galvanised steel or aluminium. You will receive photographic documentation of the condition before and after.
Minor repairs done immediately, not after water starts leaking.
Loose flashing, cracked tile, detached ridge cap, minor defects that can cause major damage in a gale. For every roof job we inspect the entire surface and repair what we can on site; you will receive a report with photos for the remainder.
Post-storm inspection for the building's owners' association
After every major storm we offer a quick roof inspection with a photo report, so you know what to insure and what to repair, and have documentation for your insurer.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How long does a roof coating last?
- A quality system on a properly prepared substrate lasts 8-12 years. Preparation is decisive, that's why we never cut corners.
- Can you handle a steep roof in the city centre?
- Yes, rope access is specifically for steep and hard-to-reach roofs. We anchor into load-bearing elements; the roofing material is not loaded.
- What if a larger issue is found during the inspection?
- You will receive photos and a description. We quote what we can do; if a roofing crew is needed for cladding replacement, we will tell you straight away.
