Reroofing your home with ReKote

There are a number of functional and aesthetic benefits that apply when choosing to reroof a home.

In many cases, the cost of repairing, fixing, or re-colouring an existing roof can be just as much – if not more – than the cost of undertaking a full reroof.

In addition to giving your home a new modern finish, a full reroof ensures that current or potential problems with your existing roof will be removed.

10 Steps To Reroofing:

Depending on the size of the roof Reroofing can take 2 to 4 days to complete. There are 10 steps to the reroofing process:

1 Inspect Roof
The existing roof timbers are inspected to ensure the battens are sound.

2 Install Safety Rail
Before commencing any work a guard rail is installed.

3 Remove Old Roof
All the old roof tiles or metal roof sheets are removed.

4 Install Sarking
The sarking is carefully unrolled across the roof.

5 Install New Battens
New battens are nailed to the rafters with a high pressure nail gun.

7 Start Laying New Tiles
Tiles are laid sequentially up the roof from the gutter line.

6 Load Up New Tiles
The new roof tiles are lifted up to the roof using an elevator belt.

8 Hip & Ridge Tiles Installed
All hip and ridge lines are covered with ridge fittings.

9 Pointing
Pointing covers the mortar in a colour that matches the roof tile.

10 Finish
Guard rail is removed and the site cleaned up.
