Roofs in Minyama: what we see and what we do
Minyama is one of the coast's original canal estates, built through the 1970s and 80s on the Mooloolah River between Buddina and Mooloolaba. The first homes were single-storey brick with concrete tiles; many have since been replaced by large two-storey houses with flat-profile tiles or Colorbond. Minyama Island and the Mooloolah River frontages carry some of the biggest roofs on the coast, and the older ones are well past their first coating.
Salt water on three sides puts Minyama in the C4 near-coastal band of AS 4312, and the open surf is only a kilometre away. Corrosion on gutters, downpipes and fixings runs ahead of what the distance alone would suggest. Seaspray Restos restores tile roofs here with pressure cleaning, repairs, re-bedding and re-pointing, and primer plus two coats of Roof Protect membrane, which carries a 15-year manufacturer warranty through approved applicators.
Things to watch on Minyama roofs
- Rust on gutters and downpipes facing the canals
- Cracked pointing on long ridge runs of large two-storey homes
- Faded original tiles on the remaining 1970s homes
