It can all depends on the type of roof you have, but one thing have to do with any roof before you paint, is clean them!

If you have a roof with a rough surface then a high pressure water blaster is the best way. You can use the cheaper option – broom and hose but you will also need to use a chemical liwud to remove the mould from the roof. These liquids are easily purchasable in DIY stores, but it can all get messy.

Corrugated Iron Roof’s need to be washed before painting, if they are new. If the roof is more than a year old, then there is no need. Apply two coats of paint and remember that light colours reflect the heat, whilst darker colours absorb heat.
