Roofs in Marcoola: what we see and what we do
Marcoola runs in a narrow strip between David Low Way and the surf, with the airport runway on the western side. Housing is 1970s to 2000s: brick homes with concrete tiles on the back streets, low-rise holiday units with flat-profile tiles near the beach, and Colorbond rebuilds along the esplanade. There is no shelter here; the beach is open and the roofs face the south-easterly straight on.
Every street is within a few hundred metres of the surf, putting Marcoola in the C5 band of the AS 4312 corrosivity guide. Steel fixings, valleys and gutters corrode fast and porous tiles hold salt against them. Seaspray Restos restores tile roofs in Marcoola with a pressure clean, replacement of rusted metal, tile replacement, re-bedding and re-pointing, and primer plus two membrane coats, backed by a 10-year warranty (terms apply).
Things to watch on Marcoola roofs
- Corroded screws, flashings and valleys on ocean-facing roofs
- Cracked pointing on flat-profile roofs of holiday unit blocks
- Faded, porous concrete tiles on 1970s and 80s homes
