Maintenance for Terracotta Roofs
Regular inspections are essential—check your terracotta roof at least once a year, ideally in late autumn (May) or early spring (September), for cracked, chipped, or displaced tiles and signs of leaks.
Keep the roof clean by clearing leaves, twigs, and moss, and ensure gutters and downpipes are free from debris to maintain proper drainage.
Promptly replace damaged tiles, repoint ridge capping as needed, trim overhanging branches to prevent damage, inspect the underlayment for wear, and consider repainting the tiles every 10–15 years to maintain their longevity.
