Roof coatings explained: a new finish needs sound tiles
Roof coatings explained plainly means separating the clean, preparation and chosen colour from repairs to damaged tiles. Adam inspects free and records the surface in photos with a written quotation, with no deposit and payment when the agreed finishing work is complete.

Start with the condition beneath the colour
Get the repairs identified before choosing a new colour. Adam photographs cracked tiles, loose ridges and failed lead joints, then separates that physical repair work from the coating in your written quote.
The inspection also establishes whether the job you need is cleaning alone, repair work or a coating after preparation. You receive a written proposal describing those stages and the roof areas involved. That helps you choose the change in appearance with a clear account of what is actually being done to the covering.
Make preparation part of the specification
Know which preparation your colour finish includes. The written quote names moss and lichen removal, cleaning, biocide treatment and surface preparation, followed by the selected coating system.
Your chosen colour belongs in the written scope alongside the preparation and any repairs. Daily progress images and videos show the stages above the house, including work that will be less visible once the finish is applied. The result can then be assessed against the job you actually agreed.
Keep repair claims separate from appearance
Choose the finish from a clear account of the work. Adam explains repairs, preparation and the selected colour in writing, with roof photographs showing the condition beneath the appearance.
Get the roof checked before choosing the treatment. You will have photographs of the current condition and a free written price, with no obligation to book. Our fully insured roofers carry out the agreed work, which is backed by the ten-year workmanship guarantee.
