Roof Painting & Spraying
Roof Painting & Spraying in Cairns
A roof is the biggest surface on your property and the one taking the worst of the weather. Once the coating goes, you get chalking, rust at the fixings, and lichen holding moisture against the sheets.
We clean, repair, prime and spray both metal and tiled roofs across Cairns and the Northern Beaches, using coatings rated for the UV and rainfall we get up here.

How it runs
Our process, step by step
- 01
Roof inspection
We get up and check the substrate, fixings, flashings and any rust or broken tiles before quoting.
- 02
Clean
High-pressure wash to remove lichen, chalk and anything that isn't stuck down.
- 03
Repair
Rust treatment, new screws and seals, and tile repairs or repointing where required.
- 04
Prime
The right primer for the surface — the step that stops the topcoat lifting in two years.
- 05
Spray
Two coats applied by airless spray for an even finish across every sheet or tile.
Preparation
Most failed roof coatings are a preparation problem, not a paint problem. Coating over lichen or chalk means the new paint is only holding onto the loose layer underneath it. We wash the roof back to a sound surface, treat rust, replace perished fixings and prime properly before any colour goes on.
Products we use
We select roof-specific membranes and metal primers built for high UV and high rainfall, and can specify heat-reflective topcoats where you want to pull down the temperature in the roof space.
Built for the tropics
Up here the roof deals with intense UV, cyclonic rain and long humid stretches that let lichen take hold. We plan roof work around clear weather windows so each coat cures properly — spraying a roof with a storm two hours away is how a job fails.
