Roofs in Nambour: what we see and what we do
Nambour was the Sunshine Coast's main inland town for a century, built around the sugar mill that ran from 1897 to 2003. Its 12,145 residents live in a wide mix of housing: high-set Queenslanders under corrugated iron near the town centre, 1950s and 60s homes with terracotta tiles on the hills, and 1970s to 90s brick homes with concrete tiles in the streets toward Burnside and Coes Creek. Plenty of those roofs have never been touched.
The town sits about 15 kilometres from the surf in the C3 inland band of the AS 4312 corrosivity guide, so salt is a slow problem. Rain and shade are the fast ones. The coast averages about 1,490 mm a year and the hills behind Nambour get more, so moss and lichen build up on any south-facing tile roof under trees. Seaspray Restos pressure cleans, re-beds and re-points ridges, replaces cracked tiles and finishes with primer and two membrane coats, backed by a 10-year warranty (terms apply).
Things to watch on Nambour roofs
- Moss and lichen on south-facing tile roofs under big trees
- Cracked ridge and hip mortar on 1950s and 60s terracotta roofs
- Rusted laps and screws on iron Queenslander roofs near the centre
