Doing the job right

With more than 10 years experience, Hudson Roofing is a fully licensed and insured team of roofing professionals dedicated to ensuring our customers receive the best possible service at a value-for-money price.

All our tradesmen are fully licensed and insured and our gentle roof pressure washing methods will ensure:

• All damaging dirt and debris is removed
• Valleys, gutters and downpipes are cleaned and cleared.
• Harmful and unsightly moss, mould, lichen and algae are thoroughly removed.

After the roof washing process is completed and the roof is dry, we will conduct a final inspection to determine if any repairs such as replacing broken tiles or re-pointing are needed. Generally, this is all that’s required for terracotta tiled roofs but if you have cement tiles extra steps may be necessary.

Since they are more porous, cement tiles can begin to break down and allow water to penetrate. To prevent this from occurring, our friendly tradesmen may also recommend:

• Buffing the tiles to restore their original colour and appearance
• Applying primer that helps to deflect the sun’s harmful UV rays and fill the porous surfaces to repel water
• Painting for a durable, waterproof finish that significantly adds to the beauty of your roof
• Sealing the surface to protect the colour and preserve the durability of the tiles
