We have been working in the Roofing and guttering industry since 2007.
Yes roof revival does hold a valid builders licence our builders licence number is BLD328061.
Roof revival is most definitely insured with public liability that covers us as tradesman and any damage to your property Aswell.
A full restoration takes about 3-4 working days. We need the proper weather conditions to achieve the
best result. For high pressure cleaning roofs or installing gutters rain is normally not an issue.
However, for flexi pointing caps and painting we will need there to be know no rain to be forecasted
and anything over 33 degrees a job will have to be painted over two consecutive days. Please be
patient in the winter months as we like to make sure all work is undertaken in right weather conditions.
1-2 Working days for gutter installation.
After a quote is excepted. The deposit of 20% is required to be paid to lock in a starting date. Prior to
the starting date we double inspect as a safeguard to ensure that the desired level of quality, accuracy
and compliance is achieved. Once the materials are ordered and delivered to the desired location a
30% progress payment is to be made. We then will give you a rough estimation of starting date for the
work to be undertaken. On the day of completion, the remaining balance will be paid with the desired
method of payment.
INSPECTION Your roof and gutters are inspected by a qualified Tradesman.
REPLACE Damaged tiles are replaced.
CLEAN The roof is cleaned using high pressure water.
RE-BED All ridge capping is re- bedded where needed.
RE-POINT Ridge capping is then re -pointed with a flexible acrylic pointing mixture.
ANTI FUNGAL The roof is sprayed to prevent moss and lichen growth.
PRIMER The entire roof area is coated with a sealer/primer to ensure strong adhesion of the roof
membrane.

Roof revival will require access to front and back of your property. Access to electrical power and
water tap is needed to run our machinery. While commencing work all valuables, bikes, cars, clothes
washing etc should be kept out of harms way. Surrounding neighbours should be notified of work
been undertaken.
We regret to inform you that we cannot provide a warranty specifically for roof leaks. Roof leaks can
be exceptionally challenging to detect and diagnose due to a variety of factors, including:
1. Complexity of Detection: Roof leaks often originate from hidden or unexpected areas, making it
difficult to pinpoint the exact source without comprehensive and sometimes invasive investigation.
2. Environmental Factors: Roofs are exposed to various weather conditions, such as heavy rain
and wind, which can unpredictably impact the roof's integrity over time.
3. Material Aging and Wear: Over time, roofing materials naturally age and may develop
weaknesses that are not immediately apparent during inspections. Can be very difficult and time
consuming to detect.
4. Previous Repairs and Installations: The condition and quality of previous repairs or installations
can significantly influence the occurrence and detection of leaks, adding complexity to warranty
coverage.
Despite these challenges, please be assured that our team is committed to addressing any roof leaks
that may arise. We will always work to our best ability to identify and solve roof leaks promptly and
effectively, ensuring the longevity and performance of your roof.
The best process to do this is to have your roof high pressure washed first. After this is done contact
your solar company and ask them to install rails and wiring. When this is finished, we will fully restore
the roof and leave you with spare coated tiles and touch up paint. The solar company final task to
connect the panels to the railing.
Yes, he majority of roof we restore now days do have solar panels. We high pressure the roof and
rinse all panels. When it’s time for painting we cover all panels with a plastic film and paint underneath
the panels, so all visible tiles are coated with primer and colour.
Ridge caps only require rebedding if caps are lifting and mortar is loose and falling away from
ridgecap and tile. If we were to rebed solid caps we end up breaking a lot of caps and tiles
underneath.
The painting process takes one day to apply all coats weather depending. So long as the temperature
is between 13 degrees and 33 degrees Celsius, we will be able to complete the paint applications in
one day.
If your tiles are porous this means that they are retaining water which adds significant weight to your
roof and roofing timbers, leading to potential leaks and structural issues. To prevent this we apply a
maxi build primer to the rooftiles when painting. This Ensures that the tiles are coated very thick. All
cracks and rough surfaces on the tiles are filled in turn giving the finish much more appealing and
bolder.
All solar panels rely on a clean surface to be able to work to their optimum capacity. When the surface
gets dirty it restricts the panels’ ability to capture sunlight efficiently and will therefore not produce as
much electricity. Regular cleaning is not only advised for productivity of the panel but also in most
cases to adhere to warranty requirements Aswell.
Over time all leaf matter and moss that grow or falls on the roof will end up in the gutters and then
downpipes. This can subsequently cause large build ups and blockages causing water to be pushed
up and over the gutter inevitably leading to leaks/drainage to occur. Long term this will lead to the
further damage causing the gutters to become corroded, rust and eventually fail completely.
Whirly vents help your roof space breathe, in turn saving you money on your energy costs.
