Glaze coat just seals and colours the surface. Restoration includes cleaning, repointing mortar, replacing cracked tiles, and dealing with structural issues. If your roof structure is good but it's just dull and stained from moss and weathering, a glaze coat is faster and cheaper. If mortar is crumbling or tiles are cracked, you need full restoration instead.

Works best on tile. Metal roofs need rust treatment and primer first, which gets you close to full restoration pricing. On tile with sound mortar and no cracking, a quality glaze handles Kelmscott's heat and moisture reasonably well. Lasts several years depending on exposure and whether you're in a shaded foothills area or open space.

A glaze is a clear or lightly tinted seal that keeps the natural terracotta look and protects the tile. Paint is an opaque coat that changes the colour and covers the terracotta entirely. If you want to keep your roof looking like terracotta, glazing is the option; if you want a different colour, that's roof painting.

If the tiles are sound and you like the terracotta look but it's faded, glazing refreshes and seals it without changing the character of the roof. Painting makes sense when you want a different colour. We'll look at your roof and tell you honestly which suits it.

Typically around 5 to 10 years in Perth conditions, depending on the roof's exposure and how it's looked after. It's a maintenance coating, so it refreshes the surface rather than re-roofing it.

No. The 15-year Dulux warranty applies to the Dulux Acratex membrane system used on a full roof restoration, not to a glaze coat, which is a different product. The glaze application carries our 12-month workmanship guarantee, and we'll set out exactly what's covered before you go ahead.

No. A glaze seals and protects the tile surface, it doesn't stop a leak. Leaks come from cracked tiles, failed pointing or flashing, and they need repairing first. We'll sort any of that before glazing.

It can be left clear to keep the existing colour, or lightly tinted to even out and lift a faded roof. We'll talk through the finish based on what your terracotta looks like now.
