FAQ

Hot water pressure cleaning is significantly more effective! The heat ensures that all the oils, sap, dirt and debris is cleaned away completely which is the key to making the coats last longer.

Astec Paints are a South Australian owned and operated business based in St Marys. Their heat reflective roof membranes are the gold standard in roof coatings and have been specifically designed for the harsh South Australian weather.

Unfortunately, there is no such thing as an 'average' roof. Almost every single roof has its own challenges and differences, that is why we insist on assessing your roof so we can work out a quote specifically for you so you don't get any nasty surprises after the job is done.

Yes! We take extra care around solar panels because we understand how valuable they are to you. During the cleaning process we rinse off your panels with a low pressure tip to remove any dirt that may be on there and ensure they are not damaged. We then mask up all of your panels and paint around them so no one will be able to tell that your roof has been painted. The masking sheet we use is clear so during the process the amount of solar power lost is minimal.

Yes! Unlike many roof painters in Adelaide we can handle any roof. We regularly tackle 45 degree pitched roofs and have even restored the occasional 60 degree pitch. High pitch roofs require a team of experts to restore properly which is what you will get if you choose us for your roof restoration.

Roof Restoration is very environmentally friendly in a number of ways:

Most importantly restoring your roof uses significantly less materials than a roof replacement

Roof Restoration also produces less waste than roof replacement

A roof restoration will increase the longevity of your exisiting roof, thus reducing the long term material use

The heat reflectivity of the coatings reduces the need for high energy air conditioning

Increased solar reflection cools the environment around the building as well as inside it

While we do acknowledge there are some costs involved in a roof restoration such as the petrol and plastic used during the process, we believe the benefits far outweigh the costs.
