Roofs in Diddillibah: what we see and what we do
Diddillibah is rural residential land along Petrie Creek between Maroochydore and Woombye, a mix of 1980s to 2000s acreage homes and older farmhouses. Brick homes with concrete tiles sit alongside Colorbond builds from the last two decades, and many blocks have iron-roofed sheds and stables. Long driveways, big trees and creek flats that fog up on winter mornings are the norm, so roofs stay damp and grow moss on the shaded side.
The suburb is six to eight kilometres from the surf in the C3 coastal band of the AS 4312 corrosivity guide, and prevailing winds carry salt along the Maroochy River valley. Sun and rain still do most of the damage. Seaspray Restos travels to Diddillibah for tile and metal roof restoration, ridge re-pointing, leak repairs and shed roof coating, with primer and two membrane coats on every restoration.
Things to watch on Diddillibah roofs
- Moss and lichen on creek-side roofs shaded by big trees
- Faded concrete tiles on 1980s and 90s acreage homes
- Rust on shed roofs and older iron farmhouses
