Roofs in Little Mountain: what we see and what we do
Little Mountain rises west of Caloundra along Caloundra Road, and most of its housing went up through the 1990s and 2000s. Brick homes with concrete tile roofs dominate the estate streets, while the larger bushland blocks on the slopes have a mix of terracotta, flat-profile tile and Colorbond. The 1990s tiles are now 25 to 30 years old, and their colour coating has mostly gone, leaving porous concrete that soaks up rain.
At three to five kilometres from the beach, the suburb sits in the C3 coastal band of AS 4312, so rust is slower but the sun is not. Roofs high on the ridge get full UV all day, and the tree cover on bush blocks shades the south side enough to grow moss and lichen. Seaspray Restos pressure cleans, re-bed and re-points, replaces cracked tiles and applies primer plus two coats of Industrial Roof Coatings membrane.
Things to watch on Little Mountain roofs
- Faded colour on original tiles from the 1990s build-out
- Moss and lichen on tree-shaded roofs on bushland blocks
- Cracked ridge bedding on multi-hipped estate roofs
