Roofs in Pelican Waters: what we see and what we do
Pelican Waters is a canal estate that began in 1989 and is still adding stages around the marina. The first streets have 1990s brick homes with concrete tiles, now at the age where the coating has faded and the ridge mortar has cracked. Later stages brought flat-profile tiles and large two-storey homes on the canals and around the golf course, and the newest sections are mostly Colorbond.
Saltwater canals and open passage water put Pelican Waters in the C4 near-coastal band under AS 4312, so gutters, valleys and fixings corrode faster than the distance from the surf suggests. Big roof areas also mean big cleaning and coating jobs. Seaspray Restos restores tile roofs here with a high-pressure clean, tile and ridge repairs, and a primer plus two coats of heat-reflective membrane, backed by a 10-year warranty (terms apply).
Things to watch on Pelican Waters roofs
- Faded colour on original 1990s concrete tiles
- Rust on gutters and downpipes facing the canals
- Cracked pointing on long hip and ridge runs of larger homes
