Why this scope

Lichen, restricted watercourses, broken tiles and ridge deterioration called for cleaning and repair. The material-specific scope retained the natural terracotta appearance rather than applying a cement-tile coating process.

  1. 01

    Inspect the lichen-blocked watercourses

    The roof was checked for broken tiles, deteriorated ridge pointing and organic buildup restricting the channels between the terracotta tile profiles.

  2. 02

    Preparation and cleaning

    Lichen, moss and accumulated grime were removed from the roof surface and tile watercourses so rainwater could move through the intended channels.

  3. 03

    Replace broken tiles and repoint

    Damaged tiles were replaced and the ridge caps were repointed to complete the restoration without painting over the natural terracotta surface.
