Roof Coating in Thornhill
Weathering and pollution can affect the aesthetic appearance of your Thornhill home and can also cause roof tiles to become porous after about 20 years. This leads to the formation of moss, lichens, fungus and moisture retention, which in turn increases the weight and stress on the roof structure.
Roof tiles can begin to split through ageing and frost damage. Combine this with moss growth and debris and gutters and drainage channels can become blocked. Soiled roofing can also cause a build-up of rainwater, allowing this to penetrate below the overlaps and ruin the watertight qualities of the surface.
Here at Rooftek Ltd, we provide specialised protective roof coatings in Thornhill for all types of roofs which can help prolong the life of your roof for many years.

FAQs for Roof Cleaning in Thornhill
Left without appropriate coatings, your roof will start deteriorating, along with the usual wear and tear. These damages will even take a significant toll on your building or home’s efficiency.
For smooth or light-textured finishes, 7-8mm for coarse finishes (tyrolean, roughcast etc). Smooth and light-textured finishes: use finer well graded sands, 1-2mm down to 0.075mm.
Allow 24 hours curing time before further application, unless advised otherwise.
Cleaning a roof is a lot cheaper than a full or even partial roof replacement which of course is costly. The longer you leave moss and algae on your roof, the more damage will be caused.
We advise people to have their roof cleaned sooner rather than later when moss build up is noticed.
Generally speaking, roof coatings take 8-24 hours to thoroughly dry. The time span difference really depends on weather conditions. Dew and high humidity will cause the coating to take longer to dry.
Hot temperatures with dry weather will allow the coating to dry at a much faster rate.
For pebbledash, clean material is thrown at the freshly plastered surface then pressed in, so the colour of the material is visible.
For roughcast, on the other hand, this material is mixed with mortar and then thrown at the surface, so all the material is coated with the mortar.
roof coating systems last 10-20 years, but once they reach the end of their warranty, they can be recoated and a new warranty begins.
The process can be repeated over and over again, making roof coating systems a renewable and sustainable roofing system.
Roughcast is a traditional type of render – an external surface application that has been used for centuries in Britain both for aesthetics and to provide protection against the weather, particularly in exposed and coastal areas.
