Kolourseal

Why choose to use Kingfisher "Kolourseal"?

Why renovate a old roof ?

Over time the elements, pollution and environmental factors all take their toll on your roof. With the rapid expansion in Post-war house building, reliance on traditional slate declined in favour of cheaper, pre-cast concrete tiles. Often available in vibrant colours architects also favoured them as they complemented their bright, modern designs. Unfortunately pigment and pre-cast technology was not as advanced as in today’s tiles and the vibrant colours faded to the now familiar dull grey. In addition, quality varied and some tiles had a design life of only 25 years. Today in extreme cases the tile surface breaks down, becoming porous. This acts like a sponge, retaining water and encouraging the growth of unsightly moss, green mould and lichens. The retained moisture also increases load on the roof trusses and ultimately leaks to the inside walls, showing up as damp patches. Important Point! Many of these roofs have far exceeded their original life expectancy, underlining that they are basically a durable, reliable material even if they may look tired. In most cases, careful repair of structural defects followed by application of "Kolourseal" will restore the vibrant colours that were so appealing in the original tiles and re-seal them against the elements. This cost effective solution will save you thousands compared to stripping off old tiles and fitting a new roof.
