Curious what colour would you paint it. oh and YES you can paint your roof, but you need to clean and seal it first.. Check your roof for any broken or cracked tiles and replace them. To repair any damaged mortar around the ridge capping, remove the capping and apply new mortar and put the capping back in place. Make sure the mortar is dry before you start painting. and use a airless spray gun to paint. Good luck...there is a lot of info and tips about painting a roof on the Net, also YouTube, check out your hardware stores. As they say 'A change is as good as a Holiday' :)

Hi Kylieac71, We put a nectre freestanding gas log fire in recently. I think it looks great and puts out good heat. When you choose your location make sure you know what’s in the roof space & roof at that point if you want the flue to be straight. It needs to avoid beams, roof hips etc.

Hey All, we are building a Modern Industrial/Hampton style home, we have Basalt roof down on our Basix, black windows, reclaimed bricks on the lower level and will be having white weatherboard for the upper level. We are thinking of Black gutters and down pipes as we can’t match them to the walls so thought we would make them stand out. Oh, also we are having exposed rafters and paneling in white. Anyone have any thoughts or advice?

Just as a tip, those dark colours in your light brick arent' grey, they are a deep purple/brown also known as Burnt Umber. The midtone colour in that brick is also a purple brown in a natural mineral, in artists land that colour is called Indian Red, other similar hues are perylene maroon and piemontite. I'm an artist so very used to seeing different colours and their undertones. Colours that will go with that will be blacks that are actually red or purple based. So NOT monument which is a blue based charcoal. Blacks come in many different tones and it's important to match the undertone to your brick for colour harmony. Blacks which are complementary or blue based will stand out more but may not go as well. Which is why the grey blind seems uninspiring, it's a blue based grey. I'll name some colours in the Taubmans brand. I didn't pick Dulux because it has an abyssmal colour selection atm. Phantom Myst and Fable would both be good blacks to use on your home. Ruby Rose and Redwood and Russet stone would all go with the brick colours. Unless you train your eye to see hues and undertones it's very difficult to spot them which is why a colour consultants have a job. If you're interested learning colour mixing is fascinating there are even hues like red-blues which sounds paradoxical but ultramarine is actually a red based blue' A hack for creating colour palettes super easy. If you have Photoshop you can show it a photo and it will automatically create a perfectly co-ordinated colour palette for you of 6 or so colours which are exact matches to the colours in the photos. Any photo at all, and it will spit out pantone colour codes for you that you can take to paint shop and have them mix up. It picks up some dark, mid and light tones and you can have it create monochromatic, complementary, split coplementary etc palettes that work beautifully.
