Tile Roof Painting

The time required to paint a tile roof may depend on several factors including the size and condition of your roof, however, weather permitting, a tile roof can usually be prepared and painted in approximately 1 - 3 days.

If your roof is looking a little worse for wear and has as a few loose or cracked tiles, or if it’s mouldy, roof painting could be a good option. However, if your roof has more extensive damage or wear and tear, it may be best to undertake a more comprehensive tile roof restoration.

Painting your tile roof can improve the look and value of your home, help keep your home cool in summer, save money on energy bills, protect your roof from weathering, and reduce the need for future repairs.

A professional tile roof paint job should last between 10 – 15 years, but the lifespan will depend on the quality of paint used, the quality of the preparation process, and the climate.

Always use a good quality acrylic paint on a tile roof such as Dulux Acratex as it is durable, resistant to fading, and dries fast, which will extend the life of your roof painting job.

You can paint your existing roof tiles, but it is important to first prepare the roof surface before painting. This preparation should include repair of any damage such as replacing broken tiles and pointing, and thoroughly cleaning the roof’s surface.
