STEP 1: SET UP

 

Protecting your environment along with the safety of our workers is paramount. In order to ensure job safety we divert the down pipes to protect storm water run off. Any over hanging trees will also need to be trimmed back.

 

 

STEP 2: FUNGICIDE TREATMENT

 

A fungicide is sprayed onto the roof prior to water blasting. This will loosen the build up of moss and organic matter on the roof.

 

STEP 3: WATER BLAST and REPAIRS

 

To thoroughly clean the roof surface a powerful water blast is required. The pressure required is approx 5000psi. This will remove any dirt and contamination deposits on your roof. At this stage any repairs are carried out. The roof could be renailed and is often recaulked to ensure a water tight roof. Tiles are also replaced at this stage.

 

 

STEP 4: Re CHIP

 

The roof is rechipped to replace the stone removed by weather or storm damage. A acrylic modified bitumen binder is used to adhere the stone chip to the roof. The re chipping is not an exact science so the surface may experience some "shiny" spots until the coating settles. This is normal.

 

STEP 5: TOP COAT

 

At Restyle we use 3 top coats to ensure a long lasting finish. The first coat is dedicated to the nose of the tiles. An angled tip is used to ensure full coverage of the nose of the tile. The second and third coats are applied in a cross hatch pattern to ensure coverage of the tiles from all angles. To learn more about the coating used follow the link. 

 

STEP 6: RELAX

 

Sit back and relax knowing that Restyle has done the job that we quoted at a fixed price and cleaned up after ourselves before we left.
