Tin Roof Restoration

“Tin Roof Restoration” is a term that is used to describe the process of cleaning, repairing and re-coating a tin roof.

While contractors (mainly painters and “handymen”) have been cleaning and painting roofs for the last 100 years, it’s only in the last 15 years that full tin roof restoration has become widespread as a normal part of maintaining the home.

Tin roof restoration is beneficial for nearly all homes for the following reasons:

• Makes your home storm safe and weather proof.
• With us, you get a 10 year leak-proof warranty. This is your peace of mind.
• More secure in high winds. Part of a tin roof restoration is to replace all loose fixings which means your roof will be much more secure and able to withstand even the most violent wind gusts.
• Looks fantastic! A roof restoration improves the appearance of your entire home.
• Clean tank water. You can collect drinking water off a restored roof.

The process that we use for a tin roof restoration at Reliance is:

• Treat any light rust by grinding it back and applying a potent rust converter.
• Replace any sheets where rust is beyond treating.
• Replace any loose or rusty nails or screws.
• Pressure clean your roof.
• Apply a metal etch primer coat.
• Apply 2 or more acrylic membrane coats in the colour of your choice.
