Roofs in Buddina: what we see and what we do
Buddina is the northern tip of Kawana, running from Kawana Shoppingworld to Point Cartwright and the mouth of the Mooloolah River. The 1970s and 80s brick-and-tile homes are being replaced street by street with large Colorbond rebuilds, but plenty of original concrete and terracotta tile roofs remain, especially west of Pacific Boulevard. Homes around La Balsa Park and the headland get ocean spray from two directions.
Buddina is a textbook C5 surf-front location under the AS 4312 corrosivity guide, and the headland sits exposed to the full south-easterly. Metal fixings, valley irons and gutters corrode fast, and porous tiles hold salt against them. Seaspray Restos restores tile roofs here with a full clean, tile and metal replacement, re-bedding and re-pointing, and primer plus two membrane coats, backed by a 10-year warranty (terms apply).
Things to watch on Buddina roofs
- Salt corrosion on valleys, gutters and fixings near Point Cartwright
- Loose ridge caps after strong onshore winds
- Faded, porous concrete tiles on 1970s homes
