Roof restorations

How it's done

  • Gutters Cleared: The first step involves a thorough cleaning of your gutters, removing debris, leaves, and blockages to maintain proper water flow and prevent potential damage.
  • High-Pressure Washing: The roof undergoes high-pressure washing to effectively remove dirt, grime, moss, and algae. The surrounding area is also cleaned, enhancing the overall appearance.
  • Minor Repairs: Any signs of wear and tear are addressed with minor repairs, such as fixing broken tiles and re-pointing ridge capping using Selley's Flexi-Pointing, ensuring a structurally sound roof that prevents leaks.
  • Roof Tile Primer: A coat of Globalcote Highbuild Roof Tile Primer is applied, serving as a sturdy foundation for subsequent coatings and protecting the underlying structure.
  • Roofing Membrane Application: Two coats of Globalcote Elastacote Roofing Membrane are applied in your chosen color. This advanced membrane not only enhances the roof's appearance but also provides a durable protective layer for increased resistance to the elements.
  • Clean-Up and Disposal: The work area is thoroughly cleaned, and all debris, old materials, and waste are responsibly disposed of.

Roof Repairs and Maintenance

How it's done

  • Tile Replacement: Replacing damaged or deteriorating tiles, whether traditional clay, concrete, or modern metal, maintains your roof's protective qualities and visual appeal.
  • Roof Re-bedding and Re-pointing: Essential for preserving mortar and cement joints, preventing leaks, and maintaining the roof's strength, especially when exposed to the elements.
  • Valley Iron Replacement: Replacing the valley iron at roof intersections directs rainwater away, preventing water damage by ensuring smooth water flow.
  • Installing Valley Clips: Securing roofing materials with valley clips prevents slippage during extreme weather, enhancing both aesthetics and durability.
  • Weep Holes Re-Drilled: Re-drilling weep holes allows trapped moisture and condensation to escape, preventing mold and rot, while promoting proper ventilation.
  • Re-Screwing: Changing loose or damaged screws in the roofing structure, ensuring it remains secure and stable.
  • Re-Sarking: Re-sarking is employed to strengthen the underlying structure of the roof, improving its durability and performance.
  • Metal Flashings & Lead Flashings: These are essential for roof repairs, providing a barrier against water intrusion, preventing leaks, and protecting vulnerable areas.
  • Colorbond Sheet Replacements: Replace damaged or worn Colorbond sheets, enhancing the appearance and durability of the roof.
  • These roof repair techniques and methods ensure that your roof remains in top condition, protecting your home from damage and maintaining its longevity.

Gutter Installations

How it's done

  • Secure Installation: We install the guttering system securely with correct alignment and slope for effective water runoff.
  • Downspouts and Drainage: We install downspouts and establish reliable drainage to direct rainwater away from your property.

Solar Panel Cleaning

How it's done

  • After installation, solar panels can lose efficiency due to environmental factors like dust, dirt, and bird droppings. Untouched panels for 2 years or more may lose up to 50% efficiency, a stark contrast to the 10-25% drop on cloudy days.
  • Regular solar panel cleaning is essential to maintain peak efficiency. Our experienced team serves residential, strata, government, and commercial properties on the Central Coast.
  • Inspect the Panels: Panels are examined prior to washing for any damage.
  • Clear Debris: Debree is cleared, like leaves or dirt, from the surface of the panels.
  • Wash Panels: Solar panels are gently scrubbed using a soapy brush. It is best to avoid using high-pressure water or abrasive scrubbers as can damage the protective coating.
  • Rinse Thoroughly: Panels are rinsed with a gentle stream of water, making sure to remove all soap residue.

Driveway restorations

How it's done

  • High Pressure Clean the Driveway (5000 psi): Our first step involves a thorough and high-pressure cleaning of your driveway. With equipment rated at 5000 psi, even the toughest dirt, oil stains, and grime are removed, revitalizing the driveway's appearance.
  • Etch Driveway with Stiff Broom & Cleaning Solution: After the initial cleaning, we take an extra step to enhance your driveway's surface. We utilize a stiff broom and a specialized cleaning solution to enhance the porosity of your driveway to ensure you get maximum adhesion when sealing.
  • Mask Up Areas Where Needed: Prior to applying coatings, we carefully mask up areas that require protection. This ensures that adjacent surfaces, such as walls or landscaping, remain clean and undamaged during the restoration process.
  • Apply 2 Coats of Colored Concrete Sealer in the Color of Your Choice: To complete the restoration, we apply two coats of high-quality Colored Concrete Sealer. You can choose the color that best suits your preferences. The sealer not only imparts a fresh and vibrant look to your driveway but also acts as a protective barrier, guarding against UV rays, oil stains, and general wear and tear, thus extending the life of your driveway.

  • Cutting an Opening: We carefully cut an opening in the roof to accommodate the skylight. This step ensures a proper fit and seals any gaps effectively.
  • Skylight Installation: We then proceed to install the chosen skylight, whether it's a dome or a glass window. This includes securing the skylight in place and ensuring it's weatherproof.
