Professional Roof Coating in Shawlands
A roof coating restores colour and adds a weatherproof layer to your existing tiles, without the cost and disruption of a new roof. B Varey & Son have been coating roofs across Glasgow and Lanarkshire for years, and we bring the same careful approach to every home in Shawlands.
Shawlands is known for its red and blond sandstone tenements and terraces, with many natural slate roofs, along with some villas and newer flats. Tall buildings, narrow back courts and the trees of Queens Park and Pollok Park mean many roofs and roof slopes see little direct sun.
Because we always clean and repair the roof first, the coating bonds properly and lasts.
What Is a Roof Coating?
A roof coating is a specialist, breathable paint-like system designed for roof tiles. Applied over a clean, repaired and primed surface, it fills the tiny pores in weathered tiles, helping rain run off rather than soak in. This slows moss growth, reduces frost damage and gives your roof a fresh, even colour.
Benefits of Roof Coating
- Saves money: a fraction of the cost of replacing your roof.
- Extends roof life: our process can add at least 10 years to a sound roof.
- Weatherproof: seals porous tiles against rain and frost.
- Slows moss growth: a smoother, sealed surface gives moss less to hold on to.
- Kerb appeal: choose from a range of colours to transform your home.
- Less disruption: no stripping, no skips, and most roofs are finished in a few days.
Our Roof Coating Process
- Free survey and quote. We check that your roof is suitable for coating and give you a clear, fixed price.
- Thorough roof clean. Moss and dirt are removed by hand and soft washed, then a biocide treatment is applied. More about roof cleaning in Shawlands.
- Repairs. Broken or slipped tiles are replaced and ridges and flashings are checked and repaired, so the roof is sound before coating.
- Primer. A specialist primer is applied to bond the coating to the tiles.
- Two coats of protective coating. We apply two coats in your chosen colour for an even finish and lasting protection.
- Final check and tidy-up. Gutters are cleared, the site is left clean, and we walk you through the finished job.
Is My Roof Suitable for Coating?
Most concrete tiled roofs in Shawlands are ideal for coating, especially those built from the 1950s onwards. During your free survey we check the tiles, battens and ridges and tell you honestly whether coating is the best option.
Roof Coating vs a New Roof
A new roof means stripping the old tiles, skips, scaffolding and a large bill. If your roof is structurally sound, a coating gives you many of the same benefits, including a fresh appearance, better weather protection and a longer life, at a fraction of the cost and with far less disruption.
