JMZ Roof Restoration offer terracotta roof repairs, if a full roof restoration doesn’t fit into your budget.

Our roof repair service includes the cleaning and repairing of your terracotta roof, however, we always advise that a full roof restoration will be longer lasting, offers more protection and will be the better long-term solution.

If you are wanting to go ahead with a repair – and not a full restoration project – we recommend looking at the bigger picture. For most people, their home is their biggest financial asset, so it’s important that you prioritize looking after it and protecting what you’ve worked hard for. A roof restoration will give you peace of mind and security that your home is kept in top shape.

It’s also important to consider the age and condition of your roof, we often see roofs that need more repairs/maintenance than first thought. This can be due to the age of the roof,

The age and condition of your roof may also indicate that more significant repairs are required. Generally, roofs aged between 10 – 15 years old which have not been maintained regularly will need some form of repair/maintenance due to the roof tiles being porous and natural movement of homes in hot and cold conditions.

Regardless of which option you go with, regular roof maintenance is a must. You might also be surprised to hear that most Home and Contents Insurance Companies will not cover damages where they find that the homeowner has let the general maintenance of a roof lapse.

Common Problems found in Tiled Roofs

Deterioration of roof tiles from weathering, ground movement or even walking a roof by an inexperienced person can cause roof tiles to crack, break or be chipped. Leaving tiles in this condition result in water leaks during rainfall.

A combination of age, ground movement and poor pointing materials used in the initial construction of your roof generally leaves ridgecaps opened to potential leak issues.

Cement Pointing a combination of sand and cement that was once a common bonding agent used in roofing, ages and breaks down with ground movement and weathering. Flexible Pointing is now available and has replaced Cement Pointing. Globalcote Flexible pointing is JMZ’s preferred adhesive for the securing of Ridgecaps to a roof surface.

Tile clips help keep roof tiles in place. Tile clips are located and sit on a water course channel underneath a row of roof tiles. Tile Clips are know to commonly break and as they do become clogged causing blockages and a free flow of water from own the water course channel. As a result, water leaks become evident.

Valley Clips secure cut tiles in valleys. It is known that these clips can break causing tiles in the valleys to slip resulting in water leaks.

Description Title

Is a Foil designed to reduce the transmission of moisture into a home and acts as a second skin to protect your interior from storm driven rain and dust. Ageing of this foil can result in tears requiring either replacement or repair. It is also now commonly found that during install of other items to the roof surface like skylights or solar can result in third parties cutting into the sarking film leaving an open area for water to enter into the roof cavity during rainfall.

A gutter system installed during construction of a home where 2 roofs meet. Valley Irons allow water to flow down off a roof and into the gutters. Valley Irons can be found to be installed not wide enough and during heavy rainfall cannot cope with the volume of water and channel it down the roof into the gutters. A solution to this issue can either be widening the valleys or installing Valley seal to block water away from entering inside a roof.

Valley Seal is a foam product that is designed to prevent water entering into a roof cavity during heavy rainfall. Like all products exposed to the elements and weathering valley seal can deteriorate and over a long period of time needs to be replaced.

Terractoa Roof Repairs Process


Changing Broken Roof Tiles	Broken, Chipped and Cracked Tiles are replaced
Rebedding of Ridgecapping Where Required	Ridgecapping is rebedded where Ridgecaps are misaligned or need resetting
Repointing of all Ridgecapping	All Ridgecaps are repointed at a uniform thickness of 3-5mm to secure the ridgecaps to the roof. This is done using Globalcote’s Flexible Pointing. Flexible Pointing allows small ground movement without cracking and makes the roof secure and water tight
Valley Clips	Valley Clips installed to secure all valley tiles and prevent sliding of tiles in all Valleys
Valley Seal (optional)	Valley Seal is a pliable foam strip that can be applied to all Valleys. It forms a barrier and directs water during rainfall down the roof and valleys into the gutters. Is also a prevention against leak issues
