Is it right for you

When coating is the right option

Coating suits roofs where the tiles are structurally sound but porous, faded or chalky. It will not rescue a roof with failed timbers or perished underfelt, and we will say so at the survey rather than take the work.

  • Tiles are faded, chalky or patchy but structurally sound
  • The roof soaks up rain and stays dark for days
  • Surface granules are worn but the tile is not cracking
  • You want another ten to fifteen years without a full re-roof
  • The roof drags down the look of an otherwise tidy house
  • You are selling and the roof is the first thing people see

What you get

What is included

The preparation is most of the job. A coating applied over moss and loose grit will peel, which is why the clean comes first.

  • Full moss removal and soft wash first
  • Broken and slipped tiles replaced
  • Ridges and verges repointed where needed
  • Biocide treatment to kill remaining spores
  • Primer coat on porous tiles
  • Two coats of breathable roof coating in your chosen colour
  • Gutters cleared and the ground washed down
  • Before and after photographs
  • Ten-year workmanship guarantee

How it works

How a coating job runs

STEP 01

Free survey

We check the tiles and the timbers, and tell you honestly whether coating is the right call.

STEP 02

Clean and repair

Moss removed, broken tiles replaced, ridges repointed, biocide applied.

STEP 03

Prime

Porous tiles get a primer so the coating bonds instead of sitting on top.

STEP 04

Two coats

Breathable coating in your colour, applied properly and given time to cure.

STEP 05

Clean down

Ground washed off, gutters cleared, photographs sent.

Our work

Roofs we have coated

Cleaned, repaired and sealed rather than replaced.

Cost

What does roof coating cost?

As a rule of thumb, a coating comes in at roughly a quarter to a third of a full re-roof on the same property. The variables are size, pitch, tile condition and access, same as everything else on a roof.

That gap is the whole point of the job. If the roof structure is sound, coating buys you another decade or more of life and a house that looks considerably better, for a fraction of the spend.

I’m very happy with the service I received. The lock on the mailbox for my apartment had stopped working, and the relevant team responded very quickly and arranged for it to be replaced. The new lock was fitted promptly, and I was provided with the new keys. The person who carried out the work was extremely polite, professional, and helpful throughout. I really appreciate the quick response and the excellent service. Thank you to the whole team for making the process so easy and efficient. Highly recommended!

Needed leak repairs gutter and roof, contacted WD Property Maintenance they came out next day to quote and completed the works almost immediately at a day and time to suit me. They used a cherry picker saving loads of hassle as no scaffolding, traffic lights permission and pavement re route neeeded as property1is very close the highway. Service was excellent completed quickly and efficiently despite being an awkward job Highly recommend

We had WD Property Maintenance come out and clean our gutters, solar panels, and put up some anti-nesting wire. While he was on the roof he also spotted some erosion with our chimney stack and fixed it for us. He took before and after pictures so we could clearly see the work which had been done. We're really happy with the work, team were professional, quick and reasonably priced. Would recommend and would have back again for any further works needed in the future.

William and his team were of the highest quality. The work they carried out was incredibly quick, professional, and very tidy (in what is clearly a messy job). The house looks brand new and I couldn't recommend them more highly. The cost was incredibly competitive as well. 10/10. They even carried out extra little bits at a moments notice and without surcharging extras. The after and before pictures speak for themselves.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

How long does a roof coating last?

Typically ten to fifteen years depending on the product, the exposure and how well the roof was prepared. Preparation is the part that decides it.

Does coating stop leaks?

It seals porous tiles and stops water soaking in. It will not fix a structural leak, a failed flashing or perished felt, and it is not sold as a leak repair.

Can I pick the colour?

Yes. Most people go for a charcoal, slate grey or a terracotta close to the original tile.

Is it breathable?

Yes. A non-breathable coating traps moisture in the tile and causes more problems than it solves, so we only use breathable systems.

Will it look painted?

Done properly, no. It should read as a clean, even roof rather than a shiny one.

Do you need scaffolding, and is it included?

Anything beyond a small repair within safe ladder reach needs scaffold or a tower. Where it is needed it is included in the quoted price, not added later.
