Roofs in Flaxton: what we see and what we do
Flaxton is a strip of acreage along the range road between Montville and Mapleton, with homes set back on large blocks looking east to the coast or west over the Obi Obi valley. Most were built from the 1980s onward: brick homes with concrete tiles, larger Colorbond houses on the view blocks, and a few older cottages and terracotta roofs near the Flaxton Gardens end. Long hip and ridge lines are common on these big roofs.
The ridge is C3 inland under AS 4312, but it is exposed. Wind runs along the escarpment, cloud settles on it, and rainfall sits between the coast's 1,490 mm and Maleny's 2,000 mm. West-facing roof planes cop full afternoon sun; east-facing ones stay mossy. Seaspray Restos cleans, re-bed and re-points, replaces cracked tiles and coats Flaxton roofs with primer and two membrane coats.
Things to watch on Flaxton roofs
- Cracked pointing on long ridge and hip runs of big acreage roofs
- Moss on east-facing and tree-shaded tile planes
- Faded colour on west-facing concrete tiles
