Restoration Risk Profile
Chelsea Roofing & Weather Profile
What We See in Chelsea
On most concrete tile roofs from the 1980s and 1990s, the factory-applied acrylic coating has UV-degraded through to the base slurry layer. Once that happens the tile surface becomes porous, moisture absorption accelerates, and biological growth takes hold rapidly.
Why It Happens
The factory coating on Chelsea's Concrete Tiles is acrylic-based and degrades under UV exposure through photochemical chain scission — the polymer chains in the binder break down, the coating chalks, and eventually loses adhesion to the slurry layer beneath.
How We Fix It
Valley iron is assessed on every restoration job. Where we find active rust or pin-hole corrosion, it's replaced before the coating goes on — there's no point sealing the tile surface if the valley is going to let water through from below.
