Is My Roof Too Old for Coating? Here’s How to Tell

Many Kiwi homeowners worry their roof is beyond saving. But in many cases, it's not age , it's condition that matters.

✅ When Coating Still Works:

• The roof structure is sound (no sagging or rot)
• Surface rust or minor damage is repairable
• Tiles or iron sheets are secure

Guardian Seal is designed to revive ageing roofs, even those that look beyond help.

🔁 When Replacement Might Be Necessary:

• Large rust holes or severely broken tiles
• Structural damage or active leaks into framing

🛠️ What We Look For in a Professional Roof Assessment:

When you book a free roof inspection, our trained team checks for:

• Surface condition: rust, moss, cracking, or flaking coatings
• Structural integrity: signs of sagging, timber rot, or failed support
• Seal points: flashings, joins, penetrations (vents, skylights)
• Weathering: UV damage, faded paint, or porous tiles
• Drainage issues: ponding or blocked gutters that may affect coating performance

We document problem areas, take reference photos, and give you a clear, obligation-free recommendation on whether coating is appropriate, or if more substantial repairs are needed.

Often, coating is still a very real and cost-effective option , even for roofs that appear "too far gone."
