Tired tiles, brought back without ripping anything off.

A great many Malaysian roofs are structurally sound but cosmetically exhausted: faded by twelve years of equatorial sun, blackened by algae creeping up from the gutter line, salt-bleached near the coast. Restoration is the right answer when the tiles themselves still have life in them.

The four-stage process

Wash, treat, prime, coat — in that order, never skipped.

Coating a dirty roof is the most common contractor shortcut and the most common cause of premature peeling. Our restoration is a three-day exercise: the first day is preparation, and only the second and third days look like “painting”.

  • Low-pressure soft wash with biocide, never a high-pressure jet (which strips the tile’s own protective glaze).
  • Algae kill & dwell for forty-eight hours so the regrowth root structure is dead before we coat over it.
  • Bonding primer applied roller-and-brush at edges, sprayed across the field, full coverage with no thin patches.
  • Two top coats of an acrylic-silicone sealant rated for sustained 65 °C surface temperatures and Malaysian UV.

When restoration is the right call

You probably want this if…

The tiles are still in shape

Largely unbroken, no major sagging, no widespread cracking. You are dealing with colour and surface, not structural failure.

The house looks tired from the kerb

Faded colour, green or black streaks down to the gutter, white salt blooms on the windward face. Cosmetic, not catastrophic.

You want a decade, not a generation

A restoration buys roughly ten years of fresh colour and weatherproofing. After that, a recoat or a full re-tile becomes the conversation again.

Common questions

Coating & restoration, asked & answered.

How much does a restoration cost?
Typically RM 12 to RM 18 per square foot of roof area, all-in. For a 1,800 sq ft single-storey house that lands around RM 22,000 to RM 32,000. We quote from the roof after a wash test on a single tile.
How long does it take?
Three to five working days for a typical house. Day one is wash and biocide; day two is dwell and primer; days three to five are top coats with drying time between them.
What about the colour?
We carry a sample card of around twenty colour options, from traditional brick-red and terracotta to slate-grey, forest-green and matte-black. We apply a test patch on a hidden section before the full job.
Will it peel?
Not when prepared properly. The single biggest cause of peeling is contractors who skip the wash-and-biocide stage. We document our prep stage with photographs so the surface condition under the primer is on record.
What kind of warranty?
Ten years on the workmanship and adhesion. The coating manufacturer adds their own product warranty (typically twelve years against UV breakdown) which we hand to you separately.

Considering a restoration?

Send us a kerb-side photograph. We can usually tell from the picture whether your tiles are restoration-ready or whether they need full replacement.
