Roofs in Warana: what we see and what we do
Warana is the middle of the Kawana beach strip, a grid of quiet streets between Nicklin Way and the surf. Most homes are 1970s and 80s single-storey brick with concrete tile roofs, and a few of the earliest have terracotta. Rebuilds along the beachfront streets have gone to Colorbond, but the original tile roofs still dominate, and the majority have faded to a patchy grey with cracked mortar on the ridges.
The beach-side streets are C5 surf-front under AS 4312 and the western side is C4, all within a kilometre of the surf. The coast averages around 1,490 mm of rain a year, and salt-laden rain soaks into porous tiles. Seaspray Restos pressure cleans, replaces rusted valleys and cracked tiles, re-beds and re-points the ridges, then applies primer and two coats of membrane.
Things to watch on Warana roofs
- Rust holes in valley irons within 1 km of the surf
- Cracked ridge bedding on 1970s and 80s concrete tile roofs
- Moss and lichen on the shaded south side of low-pitched roofs
