Roofs in Alexandra Headland: what we see and what we do
Alexandra Headland climbs steeply from Alexandra Parade to the ridge between Maroochydore and Mooloolaba, and almost every roof faces the ocean. The housing is 1960s to 80s: brick and block homes with concrete tiles on the slopes, older terracotta on a few of the earliest houses, and flat-profile tiles on the unit blocks along the parade. Rebuilds for the view are mostly Colorbond, but tile still dominates the hill.
Facing the surf with no shelter puts the parade and lower streets firmly in the C5 band of the AS 4312 corrosivity guide, and the ridge-top homes get the salt wind at full strength. Valleys, gutters and fixings corrode years early. Seaspray Restos replaces rusted metal, re-beds and re-points ridges, and seals tile roofs with a primer and two membrane coats, working with edge protection on the steep two-storey sites.
Things to watch on Alexandra Headland roofs
- Rust through valley irons and gutters on ocean-facing roofs
- Wind-lifted ridge caps on exposed ridge-top homes
- Bare, porous concrete tiles on 1970s unit blocks
