HSC 5-Stage Installation Process
Homeshield's roof coatings are supplied by Astec Paints, whose roof restoration system is built on over 20 years 'hands on' experience in the industry. The highly durable top coats are designed to be tough, flexible and resistant to UV degredation. Their resistance to the elements ensures that their rich deep colour is maintained.
Using the Astec system means that weathered tiles are restored to a factory finish and will remain this way for many years. The system addresses not only aesthetics, but also the highly important aspects of durability, adhesion and mould regrowth.
STAGE 1: Cleaning Down
All tiles are thoroughly cleaned by high pressure water jetting to remove all traces of moss, algae, lichen, pollutants and carbonation. All gutters are cleaned inside and out to remove all traces of silt build up. Great care is taken not to block existing downpipes.
STEP 2: Biocide Wash
A bio degradable detergent is applied to impregnate existing surfaces
to eliminate any underlying active infestation of moss & lichen spores.
This will retard any future re-growth in years to come, preventing any
underneath spoilage to the finished coating.
STEP 3: Restoration Work
All defective mortar between crests, ridge and hip tiles is hacked out
and re-pointed using a fibre re-enforced polymer mortar. Any loose ridges, crests etc are re-bedded. All broken, damaged or delaminated roof tiles are replaced using same or similar profile. Any damage to mortar verges is re-sealed.
STAGE 4: Sealer Coat
Homeshield sealer coat is applied to all areas being treated, this restores
micro-porosity to weathered tiles. The sealer coat stabilises the existing surface and forms the perfect key for the Homeshield top coat.
STAGE 5: Top Coat
2 top coats applied by specialist airless spray equipment in customers
chosen colour. The 1st coat is applied and allowed to dry (please note: drying time dependant on temperatures at time of installation).
2nd coat is applied to give a finish of a newly installed roof. Following completion, your property will be left in a clean and tidy condition.
Your home will be refreshed and rejuvenated after receiving our treatment.
