We do a lot of rusty iron roof restoration, often involving replacement of sheets,but sometimes all that’s needed is a bit of TLC.

The roof pictured below, although an eyesore, was found to be in reasonable condition, so we set about preparing it for painting.

This old roof is ok with just superficial rust to make good

Cleaning & Rust Conversion

We firstly disconnected the down pipes to ensure no chemicals or waste water entered the tank. It’s also important to ensure no waste water enters the general drainage system. This is done by damming up the street gutters and pumping the waste back  to a suitable area on the property.

In this instance we treated the roof with a chemical mixture which converted the rust to something approaching bare metal.

This was followed by fixing new fasteners where required, then water blasting to provide a solid key for paint to adhere to the surface.

Etch Priming

No rusty iron roof restoration should be attempted without the application of  a decent etch primer. Here we used a quality acrylic primer.

Whereas the first photo was taken looking up the roof from the water tank, this one was taken looking down towards the tank.

Topcoats Applied

Finally with two coats of ten year warranted acrylic coating our rusty iron roof restoration is complete.
