Solar Panel Clean and Inspection

Your solar panels are a significant investment, rising electricity costs mean you will want to get the highest electricity production from your system. Regularly cleaning solar panels is essential to ensure they operate at their best. Over time, grime from dust, animal droppings, and leaf debris can accumulate, hindering electricity production and reducing power rebate benefits. Various factors influence how often cleaning is necessary, including location, weather, and nearby pollutants. While occasional heavy rain can remove some dirt and debris, dust buildup can quickly reduce the efficiency by as much as 5% or even more. This dust accumulation can have a compounding effect over time, with panel efficiency dropping by up to 40%, whereas Panels that are properly maintained can generate up to 3.5% more energy.

Roof Restorations in Adelaide – Extend the Life of Your Roof

If your tiled roof is looking tired, faded, or showing signs of wear, it might not need a full replacement—a roof restoration could bring it back to life. At Deadshort Services, we offer complete roof restoration services for Adelaide homes, combining practical repairs, professional cleaning, and a fresh finish to improve both performance and appearance.

Our roof restoration process not only enhances kerb appeal but also protects your home from long-term water ingress, tile deterioration, and weather damage. Whether you need basic maintenance or a full upgrade, we deliver high-quality workmanship from licensed roofing experts.

What’s Included in Our Roof Restoration Services?

Our approach is never just a cosmetic respray. We complete all essential structural and weatherproofing work first, ensuring your roof looks great and lasts longer.

Re-Bedding and Re-Pointing

Over time, ridge caps on tiled roofs can shift or deteriorate. We begin every restoration by removing old mortar and re-bedding all ridge capping where required. Once secure, we apply flexible pointing to seal and stabilise your roof against future movement.

Pressure Cleaning

A professional high-pressure clean removes built-up dirt, moss, lichen, and oxidisation. This improves drainage, prevents water backup under tiles, and prepares the surface for coatings or paint. It’s also essential for detecting hidden cracks or tile movement.

Roof Tile Repairs or Replacements

We identify and replace any cracked, broken, or misplaced tiles during the process, using matching materials wherever possible. If you’ve been struggling to find tile spares, we’ll work with local suppliers or recommend a suitable tile-to-metal conversion.

Roof Resprays and Coatings

We finish with a high-grade roof membrane respray in your chosen colour. This coating offers UV protection, water resistance, and a renewed finish that adds years to the life of your roof. All coatings are applied under the correct weather and surface preparation conditions.

Want to Upgrade from Tiles to Colorbond?

If your tiled roof is too far gone—or you’re looking for a low-maintenance, modern alternative—we also offer tile-to-Colorbond roof conversions as part of our restoration service. This process involves:

• Removal of old roof tiles and battens

• Supply and install of new Colorbond® steel sheets

• Stormwater integration with new gutters and downpipes (if needed)

We’ll walk you through colour choices using the Colorbond® Visualiser Tool and provide an honest assessment of what’s best for your home, budget, and location.

Skylights Adelaide – Traditional, Velux & Illume Skylight Installation & Repairs

Brighten Your Home with Skylights That Last

Adding a skylight is one of the simplest ways to transform your home. Natural light makes rooms feel larger, fresher, and more welcoming — while helping you cut down on electricity bills during the day. But a skylight isn’t just a window in the roof. It’s a project that involves roof plumbers, electricians, carpenters, plasterers, and painters.

That’s why Adelaide homeowners trust Deadshort Services. With over 35 years of roofing, plumbing, and electrical experience, we provide complete skylight solutions — from traditional cut-in skylights to Velux roof windows and Illume solar skylight alternatives.
