Roofs in Buderim: what we see and what we do
Buderim sits on a 180-metre plateau of red volcanic soil and has the widest range of housing on the coast: early Queenslanders with corrugated iron near the village, 1960s and 70s terracotta and concrete tile homes along the escarpment, 1980s and 90s brick-and-tile estates, and modern Colorbond houses on the slopes. The district counts nearly 59,000 people, so there are a lot of ageing roofs under those big trees.
Buderim is C3 coastal under AS 4312, a few kilometres from the surf but high enough to catch the sea breeze. The plateau gets more cloud and rain than the beach, and the heavy tree cover shades roofs for months, so moss and lichen are the number-one problem here rather than salt. Seaspray Restos soft washes and pressure cleans, re-beds and re-points, replaces broken tiles and seals roofs with primer and two membrane coats.
Things to watch on Buderim roofs
- Heavy moss and lichen on shaded, tree-covered tile roofs
- Cracked ridge bedding on 1960s and 70s terracotta roofs
- Rusted laps and screws on old corrugated iron Queenslanders
