Roof painting in Gothenburg

Roof painting that protects and renews

Over time the surface of concrete tiles, clay tile and sheet-metal roofs is bleached and worn down by sun, rain, frost and algae. The roof takes on a blotchy, dull appearance and becomes more porous – and therefore more susceptible to moss and moisture. Roof painting seals the surface, restores the colour and considerably extends the life of the roof.

We always start with a thorough clean: pressure washing, moss treatment and repair of broken tiles. We then prime where needed and paint with roof paint developed to withstand weather, UV light and temperature swings. You get an even, durable surface that protects the roof for many years.

Roof painting is a cheaper alternative to roof replacement when the structure and material of the roof are in good condition. You receive a written fixed price after the inspection, and the labour cost is normally eligible for the ROT deduction.

When should the roof be painted?

How to tell that the roof is ready for painting

Roof painting works when the material and structure of the roof are still intact. Get in touch if the roof has:

  • A bleached, blotchy or dull appearance and a worn surface coating
  • Recurring moss and algae that are hard to keep away
  • Small surface cracks and a porous surface but intact, watertight tiles
  • Concrete or sheet-metal roofs that are 15–25 years old and have never been painted
  • A roof that looks worn but where a renovation is not necessary
  • A wish to change the colour of the roof without changing the material

If the tiles are cracked or the underlay is damaged, the roof should be renovated or replaced – see roof renovation and roof replacement.

Why M2 Bygg Team

Roof painting that really lasts

Thorough pre-treatment

Washing, moss treatment and primer give the paint the right conditions. It is the preparation that determines how long the paint job lasts.

Paint for the Swedish climate

We use roof paint that withstands UV, rain, snow and temperature swings and adheres well to concrete, clay tile and sheet metal.

Cost-effective

Roof painting costs a fraction of a roof replacement and extends the life of the roof by many years – a good deal when the roof is in good condition.

Safe work at height

We work with fall protection and the right equipment, and protect the facade, garden and patio from paint and wash water.

Fixed price and ROT deduction

You receive a written fixed price and we deduct the ROT deduction directly on the invoice.

Combine with other maintenance

We can at the same time clean gutters, replace sheet-metal details and wash the facade – one job, one contact.

How it works

How roof painting works

  1. 1

    Roof inspection

    We check the roofing material, condition and substrate and assess whether the roof is suitable for painting.

  2. 2

    Fixed-price quote

    You receive a written fixed price, including washing and pre-treatment, within 24 hours.

  3. 3

    Cleaning and moss treatment

    The roof is pressure washed and treated against moss and algae. Broken tiles and details are repaired.

  4. 4

    Priming

    Where needed, primer is applied to improve adhesion and seal the surface before painting.

  5. 5

    Painting

    The roof is painted in one or two coats with roof paint in the chosen colour. We work in dry weather for the best result.

  6. 6

    Final check

    We check the result, clear the gutters and clean up. You receive care advice on how to prolong the effect.

Roofing material

We paint roofs in different materials

Roof painting works on most common roofing materials:

Concrete tiles

The most common roofing material on Swedish houses. Painting seals the porous surface and restores the colour.

Most common

Clay tile

Surface treatment of clay tile to protect against moisture and frost and renew the appearance where needed.

Classic

Sheet-metal roof

Painting of steel and aluminium sheet with rust-inhibiting primer and roof paint – protection against corrosion.

Protection against rust

Felt roofs and asbestos-cement

After assessment, some felt and asbestos-cement roofs can also be surface-treated. Asbestos-cement requires particular care when handled.
