Cloth dipped in paint then applied over holes is a very good temp repair.

Please be careful with silicon. The best roofs are leaky. That is water gets in and layers lead the water outside. Silicon if used on lapping corrogated iron can hold water / condensation in and cause rusting.

Promax is a waste of money.

We recently had our roof de-mossed and re-painted by Edwards and Hardy, with replacement tiles (about 20) installed where they were badly damaged/bent/etc. Very pleased with the result, and it should give us another 10 years or so before needing to replace the roof.

We have decromastic tiles too.

It was - take care though, their office is minimal, they're administered out of CHC - the verbal agreements we had were at times difficult to get reflected in the billing, but they happily sorted things out.
