Roof coating and colour change.After a full clean, this roof was treated for algae and lichen, then coated in dark grey using a professional, breathable roof coating designed for concrete tiles. The coating is water-resistant and UV-stable, so the colour stays even and the tiles shed water, helping slow moss and algae coming back.
Two ways to use it
Restore the colour, or change it
A roof coating can bring faded tiles back to an even colour close to the original, or give the whole roof a new look.
Colour restoration
Like new, in its own colour
For roofs whose tiles have faded or turned patchy over the years. A coating in a similar colour gives the roof an even finish again.
The roof looks cared for without looking different.
Roof colour change
A whole new look
Change the colour of the roof entirely, for example from a faded red to a modern dark grey, to suit a renovation or new windows.
Talk to the office about the colours available.
Coatings suit some tiles better than others. Every roof is assessed first, and the office will tell you whether a coating suits yours, or whether clear sealing would be better.
Worth knowing
- Cleaning first
- A coating goes onto a clean roof, so it is always quoted with a roof clean.
- Protection
- Doors, windows, gutters and surrounding surfaces are protected while the coating is applied.
- Weather
- Coating needs dry weather, so the office plans the work around the forecast.
- Your quote
- Every roof is quoted individually, on its size, condition, access and the finish you choose.
How roof coating works
Cleaned, prepared, then coated
A coating is only as good as the roof beneath it, so most of the work happens before any colour goes on.
The roof is cleaned
Moss, algae, lichen and debris are removed with a method chosen for your tiles, and the gutters are cleared.
Every roof assessed first
Growth treated, surfaces protected
Where it suits the roof, algae and lichen are treated, and the edges, gutters and surrounding surfaces are masked and protected.
Edges masked
The coating goes on
Once the tiles are clean and dry, the coating is applied across the roof in your chosen colour.
Your chosen colour
The finished roof
An even colour across every tile, with the roof protected and looking cared for again.

Questions
Roof coating Ipswich: your questions
Can’t see your question? The office is open Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm.
What is a roof coating?
A coloured protective coating applied to a clean roof. It evens out faded or patchy tiles, or changes their colour, and helps protect them.
Can I change the colour of my roof?
Yes. A coating can change the colour of the whole roof, for example from a faded red to a dark grey. Colours include anthracite, slate grey, black, terracotta, deep tan, rustic red, burgundy and mahogany; the office can talk you through them.
Is a coating suitable for my roof?
Roof coatings are made for concrete tiles, so they suit most concrete-tiled roofs in good condition. Every roof is assessed first, and the office will tell you whether a coating suits yours or whether clear sealing would be better.
Do you clean the roof first?
Yes. A coating goes onto a clean, dry roof, so it is always quoted with a roof clean, and the gutters are cleared as part of the job.
How much does roof coating cost in Ipswich?
Every roof is quoted individually. The price depends on the size of the roof, its condition, access and the finish you choose.
Roof coating or roof sealing: which do I need?
Choose a coating to refresh or change the colour, or clear sealing to keep the roof’s own colour. Both are applied to a clean roof.
