Keeping Your Tile Roof in Top Condition

Tile roofs have long been a popular choice for Australian homes due to their style, strength and durability. However, over time, they can become susceptible to damage from environmental factors, such as extreme weather conditions and harsh sunlight. In coastal areas, salt air and sea spray can also contribute to the erosion of tiles and mortar, leading to leaks and potential structural damage if left untreated.


At Johnston & Johnston Restoration, we offer comprehensive tile roof restoration services on the Gold Coast to keep your property secure and looking its best. Our process involves a thorough inspection, followed by cleaning and treatment of any issues, such as mould or moss growth. We also replace broken tiles, repoint ridge capping and apply a high-grade sealer for added protection against future damage.


Our services are available to both homeowners and body corps; we work on houses, apartment buildings, townhouses and more. In addition to tile roof restoration, we also restore metal roofs, providing repairs, painting, repointing and gutter work.

Terracotta Tile Restoration

Originating from the Latin words 'terra cotta', meaning 'baked earth', teracotta has been widely used in roofing throughout the Gold Coast. In terms of composition, terracotta is clay-based, composed primarily of silicates and alumina. It's famed for its durability, capable of withstanding harsh weather conditions without losing its aesthetic appeal. The natural porosity of terracotta allows for excellent thermal efficiency, making it a superior roofing choice in areas with varying weather patterns such as ours. Moreover, terracotta tiles are fire-resistant, providing an added layer of safety to homes.


Despite its many strengths, salt air, along with intense sunlight, can still cause these tiles to become brittle and susceptible to cracks and leaks over time. The porosity of terracotta also makes it prone to moss and lichen growth, which can lead to further damage if not treated effectively. With proper care and treatment, however, terracotta roofs can last for generations, retaining their charm and functionality.
