Often roofs with flaking paint will also be dirty and have some mould and lichen growth. Preparing them is likely to be time consuming and difficult to judge the level of preparation needed. A balance between removing the paint that is unsound and not damaging the roof must be found.
This is why Resene recommend scrubbing with Resene Roof Wash and Paint Cleaner and a hard bristled brush to waterblasting
Hard wire brushing or sanding should be confined to the red rusting areas only. This will avoid damaging the protective galvanised layer, which will simply lead to more rusting.
The prepared area must be primed promptly. Do not leave overnight as dew causes the edges of the paint to lift and you will need to start over. Collect any removed paint and check that the gutters and downpipes are cleaned out.
