In March 2024, we completed a clay tile roof clean and repaint on a two-storey residential property in Northampton. The roof was first cleaned using a softwash/steamwash approach to remove surface contamination and prepare the tiles, then finished with a high-quality roof paint to restore a smart, uniform appearance.
Safe access and consistent reach were achieved using a Niftylift MEWP and telescopic pole tools, allowing controlled work across roof slopes and awkward edges.
Clay tiles show staining and organic buildup clearly, and painting only works well if the surface is properly prepared first. The key requirements on this job were:
We positioned the MEWP to reach roof elevations safely and used telescopic tools for controlled delivery and consistent passes.
We cleaned the clay tiles to lift surface contamination and improve uniformity, focusing on consistent coverage so the roof was properly prepared for the finishing stage.
Once the roof was clean and ready, we applied a high-quality roof paint to restore a cleaner, more uniform look across the clay tiles.
If your clay tile roof is stained, weathered, or overdue for restoration, we can recommend the safest cleaning method and advise whether a painted finish is appropriate for your roof condition.
