Tiles can be replaced to match the profile and appearance of the originals.
Things to avoid DO NOT – Remove or change chimneys, including painting unpainted surfaces – Walk on metal or slate roofs (where possible), as this might damage or dent the roof – Combine different metals as they may react with each other, causing rust – Use abrasive cleaning methods, such as sandblasting – Replace a galvanised iron roof with Zincalume or Colorbond. While superficially like galvanised iron, they have different physical properties and change the appearance of the roof
Check roof plumbing for a build up of dirt and vegetation.
