One of the most common questions we have when speaking with clients is, how long does a roof restoration last?


While we would like to say forever, it’s usually around the 10-15 year mark. Different contributing factors including your roof type, weather conditions and if regular maintenance is conducted will all have an impact on the longevity of your roof restoration.


When your home is your castle and the roof is a pretty big part of keeping you safe, it’s not something you want to let deteriorate.

What Are the Best Roof Colours for Ipswich Homes?

By Rebecca JMZ • March 6, 2026
Choosing a roof colour isn’t just about what looks good. In Ipswich, it can also impact how hot your home gets, how long the coating lasts, and how well your roof handles storm season. So how do you pick the right colour — one that’s both beautiful and practical? Understanding Ipswich’s Climate and Its Impact on Colour Ipswich homes face a mix of harsh elements: Intense sunlight and UV radiation High summer heat - Seasonal storms and heavy rain Airborne dust and debris Dark roofs tend to absorb more heat, which can raise internal temperatures. They also fade faster under UV exposure. Lighter roofs reflect more sunlight, keeping your home cooler and helping the coating last longer. Popular Roof Colours in Ipswich Globalcote colour options for Ipswich homeowners: Surfmist: Bright, clean, and one of the highest for heat reflection Shale Grey: Modern and versatile with good solar performance Evening Haze: Soft and neutral with broad street appeal Dune: An earthy tone that blends well with older and newer homes Windspray: Subtle and stylish, suitable for various house styles All these colours are available in Globalcote’s Infracote (heat reflective) and Elastacote (flexible membrane) roof coating systems.
