Inspect roof tiles for condition. This will determine the required preparation. Replace any cracked, chipped or faulty tiles, and reset any displaced tiles as required.
Where required, remove ridge hips, gables & valleys, re-bed and repoint appropriately. Substrate condition must be of consistent density/integrity and not subject to continual wetting or other conditions that may cause premature coating failure.
Treat moss & lichen affected areas with a Dulux Acratex Prep Kleen. Allow to dry thoroughly prior to coating. Alternatively, apply a solution of 20 grams copper sulphate & 70 grams ammonium carbonate to 1 litre of water. Apply liberally and leave for 3-6 days.
High pressure water blast concrete roof at a minimum of 4500 PSI to remove dirt, excess grime, lichen/moss and all other contaminants.
Pressure wash roof area thoroughly after all preparatory work is completed and allow to thoroughly dry.
Note: Ensure all down pipes or water connection points are disconnected prior to commencement of cleaning.
