Painting / Sealing Clay Tiles

This is not recommended, because they have been fired it is total unnecessary as we are yet to see a clay tile that will leak due to it turning porus, the natural tones of a clay tile will never fade, all paints will peel eventually leaving you with a roof that’s highly unattractive and can take years of life off your roof.

Painting / Sealing Concrete Tiles

These can be coloured to give a fresh appearance, this will only benefit the look of the roof it will in no way stop a porus roof from leaking. In some cases it can trap water on the ridges if it is not sealed properly and cause further leaks, some painters even break more tiles than they replace, be very careful who you use ask for references, it is worth noting that there can sometimes be little or no difference between the cost of a new roof and having it repainted. If you are unsure about any statements made by a roof painter please check with us, we are more than happy to give some free advice.

Cleaning Facts

Like any material, tiles can become dirty or mossy. Whether you choose to clean them yourself or hire a tradesman, moss, lichen and grime can easily be removed with a suitable moss killer or cleaner, please note water blasting a tiled roof is not recommended as the high pressure will force large quantities of water in to your roof.
