Roofs in Mooloolaba: what we see and what we do
Mooloolaba packs 8,202 residents and a lot of holiday units into a small area between the surf beach, the Spit and the Mooloolah River. Housing runs from 1960s and 70s beach houses on the streets behind the Esplanade, through 1970s and 80s canal homes on the river side, to the tiered unit blocks along the beachfront. Concrete tile on brick is the common roof, with flat-profile tiles on the older unit blocks.
The Esplanade and the Spit are C5 surf-front under AS 4312, and the canal streets are C4 with salt water on every side. Corrosion moves fast on valley irons, gutters and roof fixings, and the November 2025 hail crossed this part of the coast. Seaspray Restos restores tile roofs in Mooloolaba with a high-pressure clean, replacement of rusted metal, re-bedding and re-pointing, and primer plus two Australian-made membrane coats with a 10-year warranty (terms apply).
