Cause

Repair

  • cleaning the roof may reduce the effect of differential fading; clean using a solution of 1 part household bleach to 4 parts water and brush with a soft broom
  • if the roof is at end of its serviceable life, it should be replaced. A building consent will be required as a different roof cladding will have to be used
