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.
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.
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.

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.
