Autumn — Prepare for the Wet Season
- Clear gutters and downpipes: Remove leaves and debris to keep water flowing freely.
- Inspect valleys and flashings: Clean out buildup and check for rust or gaps.
- Trim overhanging branches: Prevent damage from rubbing or falling branches.
Tip: A quick clean in autumn can prevent blockages and leaks during winter.
Winter — Stay Ahead of Moisture Issues
- Check your ceiling and internal spaces: Look for damp patches or mould growth.
- Inspect roof fixings and flashings: Tighten or replace any loose or corroded components.
- Review sealant around chimneys or vents: Reseal if you notice cracking or gaps.
If you spot signs of moisture, book a professional inspection before further damage occurs.
Spring — Refresh and Restore
- Wash down your roof surface: Remove dirt, salt, and organic growth with gentle water pressure.
- Check for loose sheets or ridge caps: Secure any movement caused by winter winds.
- Assess coating or paint condition: Plan for repainting if fading or chalking is visible.
Regular cleaning and re-coating help protect against corrosion and extend your roof’s life.
Summer — Review and Plan Ahead
- Inspect for colour fade or minor corrosion: Address early before rust develops.
- Check spouting and gutters during heavy rain: Ensure proper drainage.
- Plan next year’s maintenance: Schedule any painting, cleaning, or inspections before the busy season.

FAQs
How often should I clean my roof?
Once or twice per year is recommended, depending on tree cover and local conditions.
Can I walk on my metal roof?
Yes, but only with care and proper footwear. Avoid walking when the surface is wet or slippery.
When is re-roofing a better option?
If your roof is over 25 years old or showing widespread corrosion, a re-roof may be more cost-effective than ongoing repairs.
