Should I Paint My Roof?

Although we are all keen to express ourselves through paint and furnishing inside our homes, some people extend this self-expression to the exterior and paint their roof tiles in vibrant colours, too. 

 

Even if you aren’t keen on a pink roof, there are good reasons to consider improving its appearance. A paint job may be one solution, but we don’t mean a lick of magnolia emulsion. 

 

We offer a thermal roof coating that provides a range of benefits to the homeowner. 

 

What has happened to the colour of my roof? 

 

The colour of your roof may have changed over time as the surface layer is affected by environmental factors. 

 

UV rays from the sun can leach colour from many materials, and the colour of your roof tiles will be weathered after years of rain. 

 

Rain in areas with high levels of air pollution contains chemicals. These can be highly acidic, which can often damage roof materials and cause a deterioration in their colour. 

 

Lichen and moss love roof surfaces, but the green or black appearance of their colonies will make your roof look unattractive and unloved. They may also trap environmental pollution and dirt, causing even more staining.

Thermal roof coating can restore the appearance of your roof

 

Our roof coating service includes a deep clean to remove organisms and debris and a pre-coating fungicidal wash to deter the development of more lichen. 

 

A freshly coated roof will make your house look new and well-maintained. It is a particularly good idea if you are thinking of selling, as a smart roof will improve kerb appeal.

 

The colour of our thermal roof coating will complement the rest of your house

Painting your roof pink may be a great way to express yourself, but roof colour in warmer climates can impact quality of life and energy use. 

 

Pale-coloured roofs, particularly white, reflect the sun’s rays, keeping the building cool, while dark colours absorb heat, keeping living spaces warm and encouraging the use of air conditioning units.

However, the standard UK roof comes in a range of subdued colours reflecting the material it was made of whether slate, concrete, or clay and the colours we offer enhance these natural shades. 

Our customers can choose between terracotta, mocha, anthracite, red/brown and green. You can use our visualiser here to see how each colour would look on your roof. 

 

Other benefits of our thermal roof coatings

A thermal roof coating can improve your roof’s thermal efficiency. It also waterproofs the tiles, discouraging water damage and the growth of organisms like moss and lichen.
