Roofs in Woombye: what we see and what we do
Woombye is a small village on the old rail line between Nambour and Palmwoods, with the Big Pineapple on its edge. The village core has timber Queenslanders under corrugated iron and a few mid-century homes with terracotta tiles, while the acreage streets toward Chevallum and Diddillibah carry 1980s and 90s concrete tile roofs and newer Colorbond homes. Many of the tile roofs are now 30 to 40 years old and the colour has gone chalky and patchy.
The village is C3 inland under AS 4312, around 12 kilometres from the surf, so salt matters less than moisture. The hills toward the Blackall Range pull in more cloud and rain than the coast, and shaded roofs grow moss and lichen whose acids eat the coating on concrete tiles. Seaspray Restos cleans, re-beds and re-points ridges, replaces cracked tiles and seals the roof with primer and two membrane coats.
Things to watch on Woombye roofs
- Chalky, patchy colour on 1980s concrete tiles
- Moss and leaf litter on acreage roofs under gum trees
- Rust on iron roofs and gutters of village Queenslanders
