Roofs in Maleny: what we see and what we do
Maleny is the main town on the southern Blackall Range, with 3,959 residents and a lot of rain: 2,000.8 mm a year at 425 metres, more than a third above the coast. The town centre keeps its old timber shops and Queenslanders under corrugated iron, the 1970s to 90s streets behind Maple Street have concrete tiles, and the dairy country around it carries big Colorbond homes and older iron farmhouses.
The town is C3 inland under AS 4312, so salt is minor, but two metres of rain a year and long stretches of cloud mean roofs rarely dry out. Moss and lichen colonise concrete tiles quickly, their acids strip what is left of the surface coating, and blocked gutters overflow in the big falls. Seaspray Restos cleans, re-points and coats Maleny roofs with primer and two membrane coats, working around the weather so each coat cures.
Things to watch on Maleny roofs
- Moss and lichen covering whole roof planes on the shaded side
- Rust on iron roofs and gutters that never fully dry
- Overflowing gutters and valleys in heavy range rain
