BeforeAfter

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.

  1. The roof is cleaned

    Moss, algae, lichen and debris are removed with a method chosen for your tiles, and the gutters are cleared.

  2. 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.

  3. The coating goes on

    Once the tiles are clean and dry, the coating is applied across the roof in your chosen colour.

Quick response - did an excellent job for an excellent price. No hassle - turned up when I was at work, dropped the invoice through the letterbox. What more could you want? I'd had real trouble trying to find someone to clean my windows and frames - despite local tradespersons dropping business cards through my door over the years, not one of them bothered to even reply - TLC responded with a quote next working day. Full credit to them.

TLC window cleaning was one of only a few companies that got back to me about an end of tenancy cleaning (and I contacted about 15 separate companies). Their communication was fantastic and they tried to go the extra mile to help me within the needed timeline. Thank you for your customer service!

Just get the thing done that you've been putting off! It was super easy to book, knock out multiple services, and a great job done by Perry. Wish I would have done it sooner. Would recommend to others.

Questions

Roof coating Ipswich: your questions

Can’t see your question? The office is open Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm.

Call 0800 058 8700

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.

More about roof cleaning

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.
