Roofs in Parrearra: what we see and what we do
Parrearra takes in Kawana Island and the canal streets west of Nicklin Way on the Mooloolah River. Housing spans the 1980s brick homes on the older canals, 1990s and 2000s two-storey houses with flat-profile tiles on Kawana Island, and a scatter of terracotta and Colorbond. The 1980s tiles are now 40 years old and their coating is gone, while the 2000s flat-profile tiles are beginning to chalk and grow moss on the low pitches.
Canals on every side put the suburb in the C4 near-coastal band under AS 4312, with the surf about a kilometre east. Wind exposure across the water is high, and the March 2025 gusts from ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred tested ridge caps across Kawana. Seaspray Restos cleans, repairs, re-points and coats tile roofs here with primer and two membrane coats, and replaces corroded gutters and valleys.
Things to watch on Parrearra roofs
- Rust on gutters and fixings facing the canals
- Ridge caps loosened by the March 2025 cyclone winds
- Moss along the laps of 2000s flat-profile tiles
