Roofs in Shelly Beach: what we see and what we do
Shelly Beach is a small pocket of streets tucked between Kings Beach and Moffat Headland, with homes running down to the rock shelf and Caloundra Head. The original 1960s to 80s brick houses carry concrete and terracotta tile roofs, and an increasing number have been knocked down and rebuilt in Colorbond. Roofs here are among the most exposed on the southern coast, facing the ocean with nothing between them and the spray.
Every property is inside 200 metres of the surf, which puts the whole suburb in the C5 band of AS 4312. Steel fixings, valleys and gutters corrode fast, and porous tiles hold salt against them. Seaspray Restos treats Shelly Beach roofs with a full pressure clean, replacement of rusted metal, ridge re-bedding and re-pointing, and then primer and two coats of Australian-made membrane, backed by a 10-year warranty (terms apply).
Things to watch on Shelly Beach roofs
- Corroded screws and flashings on ocean-facing roof planes
- Ridge caps loosened by onshore winds
- Lichen bloom on porous concrete tiles
