The work

Roof painting in Sydney.

Roof paint has a hard job. It takes full sun and every storm. The prep under it decides how long it lasts.

Sydney is the capital of New South Wales. Say where the house is, and what the roof is made of.

Some people look for a painting company, others for a contractor. Either way, start with the job.

The job

Every job is different. This is the usual order.

  1. Clean the roof and let it dry.

  2. Fix cracked tiles, treat rust and replace loose fixings.

  3. Prime bare and treated areas.

  4. Put on the top coats.
