Terracotta Roof Repairs
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.

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 |

Are you wondering if we can restore a roof with solar panels? The simple answer is yes! In fact, it’s one the most frequently asked questions we get asked by homeowners. We explain more below. Can you restore a roof that has solar panels? When it comes to restoring a roof the has solar panels, there are two options. 1. Have them removed prior to the work and re-installed once the roof restoration is complete. 2. Have them covered with plastic and taped up. The roof is then restored but the area under the solar panels is not painted. We find the second option is the most common. Restoring a Roof with Solar Panels When our technicians restore a roof that has solar panels it doesn’t change the price. In terms of the process, the only other task we have to complete is cover up the panels with plastic prior to applying any coatings. IMPORTANT NOTE : JMZ Roof Restorations will not remove the panels prior to a restoration. If you wish to have them removed, you will need to contact an electrician or solar installation company.

As part of our tile roof restoration process, our roofing professionals will replace broken, chipped or cracked tiles, but did you know we always opt for second-hand roof tiles? We are often asked why, and in this blog we reveal the main reasons. 2 Reasons JMZ Uses Second-Hand Roof Tiles During Restorations Reusing roof tiles can have many benefits, including that it puts old roof tiles that are still in great condition to good use, and stops them from ending up in landfill. Typically, if you only have a small number of tiles to replace, it will also be more affordable to use second-hand roof tiles than forking out for new ones. But that’s only the beginning. In addition to being better for the planet – and your wallet! – here are the two main reasons that JMZ Roof Restorations reuses roof tiles: 1. Difficult to match existing tiles Roof tile manufacturing companies continually change their profiles/shape of tiles over the years. That means you may actually have great difficulty finding new ones that match your existing tiles, depending on the age of the property. 2. Consistency Second-hand roof tiles are also used to ensure the gloss level is uniform across the roof. New tiles are generally glazed and can sometimes cause a patchy appearance when restoring a roof. Using second-hand tiles means we can often achieve a much better (more consistent) finish across the entire roof.
