Roof Restoration Mapleton

Local knowledge

Roofs in Mapleton: what we see and what we do

Mapleton is the northern village on the Blackall Range, up the winding road from Nambour and next to Mapleton National Park. Housing is a spread of old timber cottages under corrugated iron near the pub and the village green, mid-century homes with terracotta tiles, 1970s to 90s brick houses with concrete tiles along Obi Obi Road, and Colorbond homes on the acreage blocks toward the falls. Many of the tile roofs are decades past their first coating.

Mapleton is C3 inland under AS 4312, so salt is a minor factor. Rain is not. The range sits between the coast's 1,490 mm and Maleny's 2,000 mm a year, and cloud hangs on the escarpment for days. Roofs under the rainforest edge grow moss and lichen faster than anywhere on the coast. Seaspray Restos cleans, re-points and coats tile and iron roofs here with primer and two membrane coats.

Things to watch on Mapleton roofs

• Green moss growth on the shaded side of concrete tile roofs
• Cracked pointing on old terracotta ridges
• Rusted screws and gutters on cottage iron roofs
