Why Choose Us for Glaze Coat Application in Serpentine?
After we clean your terracotta roof properly, a glaze coat seals it all in and keeps moss and algae from coming back as fast. We use TerraGlaze with anti-algae properties because the humidity near Serpentine Falls pushes organic growth hard on south-facing sections. The seal sits on top of the tile and stops water from soaking into hairline cracks, keeping the terracotta's natural colour rather than painting over it. That's why it holds up well on older 1980s terracotta that's already been through decades of thermal cycling. It typically lasts around 5 to 10 years. Glaze coat is included in most full terracotta restorations, but as a standalone job, that's typically $1,200 to $2,000.
Serpentine's jarrah canopy creates a perfect storm for moss and organic buildup on terracotta roofs. Morning dew plus leaf litter plus limited sun on south-facing sections means mould and algae thrive. A glaze coat seals the roof surface and adds anti-algae properties. It's different from the full Acratex restoration coating used on concrete tile, but it gives older terracotta a cleaner look and better protection against another few years of heavy organic growth.

Local Serpentine Expertise
Serpentine's rural-residential character - 47km southeast of Perth CBD amid dense jarrah and marri forest - creates roofing challenges unique to Perth's southern hills fringe. Properties on 2-5 acre lots built from the 1980s through to the 2010s face heavy native canopy coverage, BAL-rated bushfire exposure, and persistent wildlife damage from possums, cockatoos, and nesting birds. At Roof Restorers Perth, we've restored roofs across Serpentine and the wider Shire of Serpentine-Jarrahdale with 15+ years of team experience, specialising in bushland property roofing where ember protection, leaf litter management, and wildlife-proofing are essential.
The result: Roofs that withstand the unique demands of semi-rural living - from bushfire compliance to possum-proof ridge capping - backed by a 15-year Dulux manufacturer warranty on materials.

Benefits of Glaze Coat Application for Serpentine Properties
Keeps the natural terracotta look
A glaze is a clear or lightly tinted seal that revives the fired terracotta colour and sheen. It refreshes the roof without burying it under the opaque paint that hides what terracotta actually is.
UV-stabilised seal for the Perth sun
TerraGlaze is built to take the UV that fades and dries out bare terracotta, and it seals the porous tile surface so it sheds water and grime instead of soaking it up.
The terracotta alternative to painting
For terracotta that's faded but structurally sound, glazing brings it back without committing you to a painted colour, or to the repainting that painted terracotta eventually needs.
Prepped and applied properly
The roof is cleaned, any cracked or chipped tiles are repaired, then the glaze goes on evenly across the surface. Our 12-month workmanship guarantee covers the repointing and tile work done with it; coating application sits outside it, and the coating itself is covered by its own product warranty.
Our Glaze Coat Application Process in Serpentine
- 1
Check the tiles are suitable
We inspect the terracotta to confirm it's sound enough to glaze, and flag anything that needs repair first.
Why it matters: Glazing is for tiles that are weathered, not broken.
- 2
Clean the roof back
The tiles are cleaned to strip dirt, moss and surface growth so the glaze meets bare terracotta.
Why it matters: A glaze only bonds to a clean tile surface.
- 3
Repair cracked and chipped tiles
Damaged tiles are repaired or replaced before any glaze is applied.
Why it matters: A glaze seals the surface, it doesn't hold a broken tile together.
- 4
Apply the glaze and let it cure
TerraGlaze is applied evenly across the roof and left to cure to the product spec, then the finished coat is checked for full, even coverage.
Why it matters: Even coverage and a proper cure are what make the seal last.

Is glaze coating the same as the full Dulux Acratex coating? ▾
No, it's a different, simpler product. TerraGlaze is a clear or lightly tinted seal specific to terracotta, for protecting existing colour and adding algae resistance. Acratex is the two-coat painted membrane used on concrete tile in a full restoration.
How long does a glaze coat last on Serpentine roofs? ▾
Typically 5 to 10 years on terracotta before organic growth returns, tending toward the shorter end given the heavy canopy. Depends on your tree coverage and how much debris sits on the roof.
What's the difference between glazing and painting a roof? ▾
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.
Should I glaze or paint my terracotta roof? ▾
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.
How long does a glaze coat last? ▾
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.
Is the glaze coating covered by the 15-year Dulux warranty? ▾
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. We'll set out in writing exactly what's covered before you go ahead — our 12-month workmanship guarantee covers repointing, rebedding, tile replacement and leak repairs, and coating application sits outside it.
Will glazing fix a leaking roof? ▾
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.
Can the glaze be tinted? ▾
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.
What Our Customers Say
"The overall experience dealing with the Roof Restorers was excellent. Ryan was very flexible in coordinating the job and dealing with the unreliable weather. Jack was very professional and explained every step of the project and kept us informed on the progress. He was always on time and was articulate in cleaning the roof, repairing areas, including the ridge caps and then restoring the paintwork. We are happy with the final result. I'm very confident in recommending this company. 👍👍👍👍👍"
"The roof restoration really made my home a completely new house. Besides the weather keeping the work delayed nothing else I could fault them. I got a competitive quote, no hidden cost, very professional and the work they have done was fantastic. My neighbours love their work and asked for a quote too. I highly recommend! P.S. I know that the photos seems to be totally different but I recently painted my house and the roof is just the last thing needed to be done. There are things that I needed professional."
