Roof Coating / Painting in Essex

At HPS, we offer roof coating services to enhance the aesthetic appeal of your property. Although commonly referred to as "roof painting," the correct terminology is roof coating. Whether you're looking to change the colour of your roof or restore faded tiles to their former glory, our roof coatings can do the trick. Our roof coatings are available in a range of colours, including Slate Grey, Anthracite, Terracotta, Burgundy, and Brown.

Why Roof Tiles Lose Colour Over Time

Over time, the sun's rays can cause concrete roof tiles to lose their colour. Raw concrete is naturally white and doesn't look aesthetically pleasing, so tiles are coated or painted at the factory to achieve colours like red or brown. However, prolonged exposure to sunlight can bleach the colour out of the tiles, a bit like it can to a car's paintwork. Our roof coatings effectively restore this original colour, providing the appearance of a brand-new roof.

The Roof Coating Process:

• Surface Preparation: We start by thoroughly pressure washing the surface. Moss scraping or soft washing won't clean the roof well enough to apply coatings, so pressure cleaning is essential.
• Sheeting Up: Hang sheets from the gutter line and cover windows to catch any overspray and protect surrounding areas.
• Roof Coating: The coating process involves applying two coats using top-quality airless spraying machines. This ensures an even and professional finish.
• Touching In: After spraying, we use a paintbrush to touch up areas around borders and other hard-to-reach spots that the sprayer may have missed.
• Tidy Site: Remove all sheeting and dispose of any waste materials, leaving the site clean and tidy.
• Final Inspection: Conduct a final inspection to ensure that every part of the roof has been coated properly and nothing has been missed.

Benefits of Roof Coating:

• Restores the Appearance: Roof coatings can make the roof look "brand new" again, completely rejuvenating its appearance rather than just cleaning it. Additionally, they offer the option to completely change the current colour of your roof tiles, providing a fresh and updated look.
• Uniformity: Coatings effectively blend older and newer roof tiles, seamlessly integrating extensions and previous tile repairs to create a cohesive and seamless roof surface, eliminating the appearance of add-ons.
• Cost-Effective Solution: While having a roof cleaned and coated can be costly, it's still only a fraction of the time, cost, and disruption of actually having a new roof installed.
