Roofs in Yaroomba: what we see and what we do
Yaroomba is a quiet strip of beachfront streets between Mount Coolum and Point Arkwright, with homes on both sides of David Low Way facing the open surf. Housing is mainly 1970s to 90s brick with concrete tile roofs, a few terracotta survivors, and Colorbond rebuilds along the dunes. Most original tile roofs have never been restored: the colour is gone, the tiles are porous and the pointing has cracked along the ridges.
The suburb is C5 surf-front under the AS 4312 corrosivity guide, with nothing between the roofs and the south-easterly. Valley irons, gutters and fixings rust years ahead of their inland equivalents. Seaspray Restos replaces the corroded metal, re-beds and re-points, swaps cracked tiles and seals the roof with primer and two coats of Australian-made membrane, backed by a 10-year warranty (terms apply).
Things to watch on Yaroomba roofs
- Rust holes in valley irons under the tile overlap
- Wind-lifted ridge caps on exposed beachfront roofs
- Porous, faded concrete tiles from the 1970s and 80s
