Pointless and makes your house look like a Gypsies caravan.

I would also love to know what the consequences of putting a fairly rigid paint over a relatavely friable concrete tiles will have with thermal expansion and contraction.

The other thing I would say is that concrete tiles are not actually waterproof and rely on gravity to guide the water down to the gutter whilst partially absorbing it like a sponge on an angle. Will your guttering be able to cope with suddenly having perfect run-off of water, when previously the roof will have absorbed some of the water?

Have your roof coated by Aquashield

Your roof can look as new when you have it coated by Aquashield

Roof coating

The roof renovation system is a 4 stage process:

Wash the roof using out hi-pressure turbo system.
Apply our anti-fungicidal wash.
Repair, re-pointing and replace all broken or cracked tiles.
Apply 2 coats of our unique “Aquatherm” roof coating system.
This is a low cost, energy saving alternative to re-roofing.

Watch the video below to help you make an informed decision, and then click on “view your roof” to see an instant satellite image of your home.

You can also use the roof visualisation tool to help picture how Aquashield’s roof coating will help improve the aesthetics of your home.

Could you not just get a scrubbing brush on a long pole and a hosepipe?
