When to book in Newtown
Late summer into autumn is the best window for a Newtown roof — dry enough for the biocide to bind, before winter rain.
1900s villas, worker cottages, and rental weatherboard make up most of Newtown. heritage weatherboard, stucco, and painted timber all take a low-pressure wash; a blast is how old paint fails on this stock.
The Adelaide Road and Riddiford Street corridors are mostly older timber rentals. Shaded south walls stay damp after rain, and we often wash the same street of villas in one run.
Newtown roofs are due every 18–24 months in this climate. Concrete tile and Colorsteel both get the same spray-and-leave mix.
