Concrete roof tiles are one of the most durable types of roof structures, as the typical life of this type of roof is approximately 50 or 60 years. However, in the right conditions, a tiled roof can last up to 100 years.
To ensure the durability of your roof, it is advisable to perform a complete maintenance on the roof when wear, cracking and accumulation of debris such as mould, branches or debris is observed.
Making the decision to restore a roof of this type may be a more profitable and faster option than replacing a roof completely, however, the tile restoration service in some cases may not be the best option for your home.

The process for restoring a tiled roof involves the following steps:
Many roof restorations companies will skip the second step, and move straight to painting. However, at Roof Leak Services, we understand that a re-painted roof is not necessarily a functional roof. What is the point of your roof looking brand new if it could potentially let in water and expose your house to water leaks?
Once you observe the sealer coat on the concrete roof tiles is deteriorating or non- existent, it is time to consider a roof restoration. In seasons of heavy rain, the absence of a sealer coat on your roof can lead to internal water leaks into your home.
Depending on the size of your roof, a concrete roof restoration may cost as little as $2,000 (exclusive of GST).
For many people, a roof restoration is a much more palatable option than a full roof replacement. Tiled roofs are a popular roofing choice because they can last for years on end, provide insulation from extreme weather and reduce noise into and out of your house.
To ensure you get the most out of your tiled roof, you will need to ensure the sealer coat on your tiles is intact and functioning as it should to keep water out of your ceiling!
A sealed and painted roof is also a much better looking roof, and will no doubt add street appeal and value to your property. Your property is one of your most important assets, so it makes sense to invest in it!
