Heat-Reflective Roof Coating
Heat-reflective roof coating does one thing well: it stops your roof absorbing the sun's energy in the first place. On a Cape summer afternoon that is the difference between a roof surface you cannot touch and one you can.

Our Process
A reflective coating is only as good as the surface under it, so the roof is repaired and cleaned before anything is applied. We will also tell you when insulation would serve you better.
- 1Free site inspection.
Roof condition, any existing coating, rust on sheeted roofs, and an honest answer on whether insulation would do more for you than a coating.
- 2Written quote.
Repairs, preparation and coating priced as separate lines, with the number of coats specified rather than left open.
- 3Repairs and preparation, then coating.
Leaks repaired, cracked details dealt with, rust treated, loose material removed and the surface cleaned. Only then does anything get applied.
- 4Follow-up and guarantee.
Fred phones after the first proper rain. Written, minimum 2-year guarantee on the workmanship.

Fred is a man of his word. The work they did on our roof was on time and good quality.
Repaired some leaks, redid the waterproofing and sprayed my entire roof with liquid rubber in 2 days at a reasonable price. They also guarantee their work for 2 years.
Run by a hands-on owner who impressed with his honesty and integrity. After the first rains, he contacted me to enquire about the work.
I received an extremely professional and friendly service. I was provided with expert advice throughout the project, which was completed well within time and under budget.
Excellent, professional, well-priced work. And a completely hassle-free process! 6/5. Thanks Fred!

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers, including the ones that talk us out of a bigger job.
What does a heat-reflective roof coating cost?
Area and the number of coats set the baseline, but repairs and preparation usually decide it, particularly on an older sheeted roof where rust treatment and cleaning are most of the labour. We quote repairs, preparation and coating separately so you can see which is which.
Do you apply Insulcoat?
Yes. It is one of the heat-reflective systems we work with, applied as a multi-coat build-up rather than a single coat.
Will it replace insulation in my ceiling?
No, and we will say so before you spend. A reflective coating stops the roof absorbing solar energy; insulation slows heat moving through the structure. If your roof space is uninsulated, insulating it will do more for you. They work well together and neither replaces the other.
Does it waterproof the roof as well?
It is applied as part of a coating system and it protects the surface, but it is not a repair. If your roof leaks, the leak gets found and fixed first and the coating then protects the repaired roof. Over an unfixed fault you get a cooler roof that still leaks.
Is it worth it on a normal house?
Sometimes, depending on the roof. The clearest wins are sheeted roofs with no ceiling underneath and flat concrete where the slab is the ceiling. On a well-insulated pitched house with a ventilated roof space the benefit is smaller. We will give you a straight answer for your building rather than a yes.
