Roofs in Doonan: what we see and what we do
Doonan is rural residential country along Eumundi-Noosa Road, between the market town and the coast. The blocks were cut up from the 1980s onward, so the housing is mostly large single-storey homes with concrete tiles from that era, later Colorbond houses and, on the view blocks, architect-designed homes with low-pitch metal roofs. Rainwater tanks, sheds and solar panels are standard. The original 1980s tile roofs are well overdue for attention.
Doonan sits five to ten kilometres from the surf, which puts it in the C3 coastal band of the AS 4312 corrosivity guide: salt still arrives on the sea breeze but far more slowly than at Sunshine Beach. UV, rain and gum trees do most of the work. Seaspray Restos cleans, re-bed and re-points, replaces cracked tiles and coats Doonan tile and metal roofs with primer and two membrane coats, backed by a 10-year warranty (terms apply).
Things to watch on Doonan roofs
- Faded colour and cracked pointing on 1980s concrete tiles
- Leaf litter and moss in valleys under gum trees
- Light surface rust on older Colorbond and gutters
