Restoration Risk Profile
Fitzroy Roofing & Weather Profile
What We See in Fitzroy
A Terracotta Tiles roof in Fitzroy in sound structural condition is genuinely worth restoring — the base tile can last well over 100 years, and a proper restoration resets the surface and seals the system for another 15 to 20 years minimum. It remains the best-performing roofing material in Melbourne's climate.
Why It Happens
The factory coating on Fitzroy's Terracotta 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
On properties where the previous restoration was done with incorrect materials or on a wet substrate, we remove the failed coating by mechanical means before applying the new system. Coating over an adhesion failure compounds the problem.
