Roofs in Chevallum: what we see and what we do
Chevallum is acreage country between Palmwoods and the Bruce Highway, where old pineapple and cattle farms were cut into rural residential blocks from the 1980s onward. The typical home is a large single-storey on a few acres with a concrete tile or Colorbond roof, a shed or two, and a rainwater tank. Older farmhouses under corrugated iron survive along the back roads. Most of the 1980s and 90s tile roofs have never been restored.
The area is C3 inland under AS 4312, around ten kilometres from the surf, so the steel on these roofs corrodes slowly. What wears them out is sun, rain and trees. February alone averages over 200 mm on the coast and the foothills get more, and leaf litter from gums holds that water on the roof. Seaspray Restos cleans, re-points and coats tile and metal roofs in Chevallum with primer and two membrane coats.
Things to watch on Chevallum roofs
- Leaf litter and moss in valleys under gum trees
- Faded colour and cracked pointing on 1980s tile roofs
- Surface rust on older iron farmhouses and sheds
