iforget Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 I need to replace the roof on my house in Phuket. It's currently those big rather thin cement tiles, about 2mx60cm.many are cracked so we have a dozen leaks, especially in the kitchen where the roof pitch is very shallow and the rain backs up and dribbles over the top end of the tiles. I have had a recommendation to use extruded coated tin roofing - each piece the full length of the roof - with preattached insulation. The name I was given is Aluzinc. Can anyone advise me where in Phuket I can get this and a rough cost per sqm? I realise there are variables (thickness of insulation for example) but a ballpark price would be very helpful. Also, any recommendation on replacing roof trusses or not? They are currently timber and although the main timbers are ok the termites have done quite a bit of damage to barge boards. If I put ceilings in (we have none at present) its going to make it difficult to keep an eye on termite activity. And yes, the house has been treated recently but we all know that doesnt last forever ir even fir very long... All suggestions gratefully received.

passingas Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 I am waiting for the next, bad hail storm to hit up here in N. Thailand, and I too, will be switching over from that wavey-ridged crap to metal roofing with the foam insulation glued underneath. I actually enjoy the sound of rain on a tin roof...having said that, I have been where you can forget about hearing anything else until it subsides. I will keep an eye out for that brand...thanks for sharing. I hope you can find it in Phuket. If you can't, I know I won't be finding it up here. Good luck. pg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sometimewoodworker Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 The product is ColourBond the supplier in Bangkok will ship to Phuket, and up north as well, cost is 300 to 400 baht per sq metre depending on the profile. AFIR it has a 30 year guarantee on the sheet. The cost of the insulation is about 50 sqm. If you want to cheep out you can get the locally produced sheet at about half the cost, but it is also about half the thickness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elkski Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 What type of quote can one expect to get in Thailand? I would like to see a quote that lists the work to be performed. Remove and haul away existing roof. Make repairs and modifications to existing metal support system. Touch up rust preventative paint as required. Install Colorbond roof type xyz style abc, thickness .3-.5 mm it what it is. Will be installed per manufacturer specifications. Payments to be 50% at start and 50% when customer is happy with roof and clean job site. Workmanship is Warranty good for x years. And product warranty is good for 25 years.
