The majority of our work here in Perth consists of roof repairs, replacements and restorations, however on occasion we do get asked to paint or seal our clients driveways and pathways.

The process is very similar to restoring a roof however a few extra steps may be required depending on the surface being sealed or painted. Firstly the surface is meticulously prepared to remove oil, dirt and any loose paint if previously coated. For new concrete surfaces an etcher is applied to improve surface porosity and therefore better paint penetration. The driveway or paving must then be left for a few days to dry out completely prior to applying the coatings so the best time of year to do paint a driveway is in the drier months.

Once the driveway or paving is ready for coating, the first coat is applied thinned down as per manufacturers guidelines, as this helps the paint to penetrate the surface of the concrete. After the thinned coat is dry, an additional 2 x top coats of “neat” paint are applied. The surface must then be left to cure for at least 5-7 days before driving or parking a vehicle on top.
 
This is a driveway we recently painted for a client of ours in Perth who also recently had their roof fully restored. With the roof restored and driveway coated the house has been transformed and our clients are very happy with the result.

The best time to do any roof work is Perth’s drier months. It is during this time when there is obviously less risk of rainfall and therefore greater opportunity to complete the work uninterrupted. It is also the best time to complete any ridge cap work without risk of rain washing out any fresh pointing and also the best time to paint without delays due to slow drying roof coating times and unpredictable weather patterns common in the wetter months.

The drier months are really when all roofs should be prepared for the wetter months ahead to avoid any surprise roof leaks we commonly see when the first winter storms arrive. We also complete most of our roof plumbing, guttering and downpipe work during in the drier months to avoid the disruptions from winter storms. Not surprisingly, the wetter months are usually our busiest for repairs due to the number of leaks that develop so the drier months are a good time to get in early and complete any roof repairs, roof plumbing, roof restorations and roof replacements before the busy period kicks off.

Ultimately, it’s never too late as long as it’s not too late!
 
Don’t put off having your roof inspected, preventative maintenance is far better than waiting for a breakdown!
