  1. Wash the roof and let it dry.

  2. Treat rust, and fix or replace loose fixings.

  3. Prime bare and treated areas.

  4. Put on the top coats.

Price

Get a price for your job.

A real price comes from someone who has seen the work. These are the things that move it.

  • The roof type: iron, long-run or tile.
  • Rust, moss and repairs before the paint.
  • The pitch and height, and the safety gear they need.

Questions

Good questions.

What is involved in a roof painting job?

A roof job usually starts with a wash and any repairs. Then the roof is primed and coated. A real price needs someone to see the roof first.

Can every roof be painted?

Most iron and concrete tile roofs can. A badly rusted roof may need repairs or new sheets first. Someone must see it to say.

Do I need to know my budget?

No. The budget band is optional. It is your budget, not our price. It helps to plan the job.
