We are still undertaking works from the hail storm that hit the Gold Coast in November 2013 - six months later there are still homes that have roof damage and require repairs. This roof is one of them, the tile roof was hit badly from the hail impact and over 200 tiles were broken. Insurance also covered the painting of the roof, as the colour of the tiles had been affected from the hails impact. You can see this in the white spots on the roof tiles. To undertake this job, we completed the following:

• Removed all 200+ broken roof tiles and replaced them
• High pressure cleaned all the roof tiles using a high pressure machine 
• Rebed the ridge caps where needed and repointed all ridge caps and collars of the tiles
• Applied one coat of Shieldcoat primer and two coats of Shieldcoat paint

You can see the progress of the works we undertook in the photos below.

Last week we replaced a hail damaged roof in Byron Bay, Northern NSW. The roof had hail dents to the roof sheets and ridge capping  over the entire roof, as well as damage to the gutter guard. Luckily the owner had a current insurance policy and was able to claim the damage under their policy, therefore costing them only their excess fee. If you suspect that your metal roof has been hail damaged it is recommended to have it inspected, as the hails impact can cause rusting and further damage to the roof sheets. You can read more about hail damage and the effects on your roof here.

On this roof, we replaced all the roof sheets with Colorbond corrugated sheets, flashings and fixtures in the colour 'Surfmist' (white). We also then installed Leaf Free Gutter Guard to stop any leaves and debris getting into the gutters and downpipes.
