Roof Recovery

Paying particular attention to the foam filler, applying a butyl sealant, and applying a new ridge cap

These can impact panel location.

• If the client wishes to keep their skylights, they must be of sound construction, and free from leakage; any damaged skylights must be replaced
• If no longer required, skylights can be overclad before panel installation, but they must be watertight

If cut during original roof construction, ‘cut edge’ corrosion develops

• If identified early, cut edge corrosion may be repaired
• Extensive corrosion may require areas to be cut out and replaced
• If corrosion becomes extensive, then the roof will fail

All debris and organic matter must be removed prior to application of any coatings

• This involves a 4000 psi pressure wash

Involves grinding out, sealing, and priming with a specialised coating which can extend roof life by up to 35 years.

• Philotimo are accredited with the coating manufacturers HD Sharman Ltd and DriSilane, and can carry out cut edge corrosion repairs
• If a Philotimo maintenance contract is in place, the roof will be visually inspected biannually, and client will receive a warranty for roof repairs carried out

For one Philotimo client, electricity savings paid for the roof repairs!
