Roof Coating Buckingham
The Buckingham Roof Coating Team You Can Trust
A roof coating won't fix a failing roof. That's the most important thing we can tell you upfront — and it's something a lot of companies in this trade would rather not say, because coating a roof that needs replacing is a bigger sale than being honest with a homeowner. If your roof has structural issues, widespread felt deterioration, or tiles that are crumbling and beyond repair, no coating on the market will change that outcome. What coating will do is add years to a roof that is fundamentally sound but ageing — sealing minor surface cracks, waterproofing porous tiles, resisting moss and algae regrowth, and giving a tired roof a noticeably refreshed appearance in the process.
Applied correctly to the right roof, a quality coating is a genuinely cost-effective investment. A full re-roof on an average house in Buckinghamshire costs upwards of £5,000. A professional clean and coating on a roof that has plenty of structural life left costs a fraction of that and can add 10 to 15 years to its lifespan. The key word is correctly — applied over moss, applied to a dirty or damp surface, or applied to a roof that actually needs replacing, coating is a waste of money. We carry out a thorough survey before recommending any coating work, and if we don't think coating is the right option for your roof, we'll tell you.
Supreme Roofing carries out professional roof cleaning and coating across Buckinghamshire, always starting with a proper clean and any necessary repairs before a single drop of coating is applied. No shortcuts. No painting over problems. Just honest advice and work carried out to a proper standard.
5 Star Rated Roofers In Your Area
Had Supreme Roofing replace our roof after storm damage last winter. Brilliant service from start to finish — fair price, tidy team, and excellent workmanship. Highly recommended
Called them out for a chimney repair that two other roofers had ignored. They spotted the problem straight away, explained everything clearly, and had it sorted within a few days.
Got our fascias, soffits and guttering replaced, the difference is incredible. Turned up on time and the finish is perfect. Will definitely be using Supreme Roofing again.

Roof Coating Frequently Asked Questions
The best candidates for roof coating are pitched roofs that are structurally sound, have tiles in reasonable condition, and are between 15 and 35 years old. If your roof has widespread cracked or crumbling tiles, significant felt deterioration beneath the tiles, or structural issues with the timber, coating is not the right solution — replacement is. We carry out a full survey before recommending coating and will give you a straight answer on whether your roof is a suitable candidate. We won't coat a roof we don't believe coating will genuinely benefit.
The process always starts with a thorough clean — removing all moss, algae, lichen, and debris using soft wash methods. Any minor repairs are carried out at this stage, including ridge tile repointing, replacing cracked tiles, and resealing lead flashings where needed. Once the roof is clean, dry, and in good repair, a biocidal treatment is applied to kill any remaining spores and inhibit future organic growth. The coating is then applied in two coats using a professional airless sprayer — a penetrating primer coat followed by a protective top coat. The entire process typically takes one to two days for an average house.
A professionally applied roof coating on a suitable roof typically lasts between 10 and 15 years before it needs reapplying. The actual lifespan depends on the quality of the product used, the condition of the tiles at the time of application, and the property's exposure to the elements. Properties in exposed or shaded positions tend to see coating performance at the lower end of that range. We use quality coating products and apply them correctly — which is the single biggest factor determining how long the results last.
Yes. Roof coatings are available in a range of colours including terracotta, slate grey, brown, and tile red, as well as a clear sealant option for homeowners who want the protective benefits without changing the appearance of the roof. Most homeowners opt for a colour that closely matches their existing tiles, which refreshes the appearance without making the roof look obviously coated. We'll show you the available colour options when we carry out the survey.
A roof coating is not a structural waterproofing solution and should not be relied upon to fix active leaks. If your roof is leaking, the source of the leak needs to be identified and repaired properly before any coating is applied. A coating applied over an unresolved leak will seal moisture into the roof structure, which accelerates deterioration rather than preventing it. We always carry out any necessary repairs before the coating process begins — a coating applied over a sound, well-repaired roof is genuinely effective at preventing future water ingress through porous tiles.
