Roof Restoration Palmwoods

Local knowledge

Roofs in Palmwoods: what we see and what we do

Palmwoods began as a railway town in 1891 and now has 6,357 residents at the foot of the Montville escarpment. The streets near the station keep their timber Queenslanders under corrugated iron and a handful of terracotta-tiled homes, while the 1970s to 90s brick homes with concrete tiles spread east along Woombye-Palmwoods Road and newer estates with Colorbond fill the edges. The older concrete tiles have faded and the ridge mortar has cracked.

The town sits in the C3 inland band under AS 4312, so rust is slow, but the escarpment behind it makes the weather wetter than the coast. Maleny, up the hill, records over 2,000 mm a year, and Palmwoods roofs in the shade of the range stay damp and green for months at a time. Seaspray Restos cleans, repairs, re-points and coats tile and iron roofs here with primer and two membrane coats.

Things to watch on Palmwoods roofs

• Faded and porous 1970s and 80s concrete tiles
• Moss on roof planes shaded by the escarpment and big trees
• Cracked pointing on old terracotta ridges near the station
