Assess
Visible rust, fixings, surface condition and access are considered.
METAL ROOF PREPARATION
Surface rust treatment & roof re-screwing
Preparation work for suitable metal roofs before protective coating across Tasmania.
PREPARATION BEFORE COATING
Deal with the visible surface, not just the colour.
Areas of surface rust and unsuitable roof screws should not simply disappear beneath a new colour. Where appropriate, Heritage can include rust preparation, treatment and agreed re-screwing in the coating scope.
Our work is focused on preparing suitable existing roofs for cleaning, painting and protective coating. We do not present surface treatment as a substitute for structural repair, sheet replacement or leak diagnosis.
That distinction matters. It allows the customer to understand what the quote covers and whether another roofing trade is needed first.
WHAT MAY BE INCLUDED
A clearly defined preparation scope
- Reviewing visible areas of surface rust
- Preparing and treating suitable rust-affected areas
- Checking roof screws within the agreed work area
- Tightening or replacing unsuitable screws where quoted
- Cleaning and preparing the roof surface for coating

Important scope notePerforated sheets, advanced corrosion, structural movement, leaks and plumbing issues are outside our coating service and may need an appropriately licensed roofing trade.

PREPARATION FAQ
Clear answers about the scope
Can every rusty roof be coated?
No. Some surface rust can be treated within a coating job, while advanced corrosion or damaged sheets may require roofing work first.
Does rust treatment include sheet replacement?
No. Sheet replacement and structural roofing repairs are outside the Heritage coating service.
Can roof screws be replaced before painting?
Suitable tightening or replacement can be included where agreed and clearly shown in the quote.
Will re-screwing fix an active leak?
Not necessarily. Leak diagnosis and plumbing or structural repair require the right licensed roofing trade. We do not promise that re-screwing will resolve an unrelated leak.
