Flat and Membrane Roofs in Kapiti Coast

Beach-house additions on the Kapiti Coast often have low-slope roofs where sand and debris collect at outlets. We clear, repair and check the falls.

Flat and Membrane Roofs on Kapiti Coast roofs

On Kapiti roofs, leaks often come from where an extension meets the original house, and from salt-rusted laps on beachside homes. We trace the path and fix the junction properly rather than sealing over it.

Flat and low-slope roofs do not shed water the way a pitched roof does, so small faults matter more. Ponding water, blocked outlets and failed seams are the usual causes of leaks.

Many Kapiti homes were built as beach houses and later extended, so we see mixed roofs, older iron next to newer additions, and junctions between them that need careful flashing.

Building Code clause E2 requires roofs, including low-slope roofs, to keep external moisture out of the building. (MBIE, Building Code clause E2 External moisture)

What to look for

• Water ponding after rain
• Blisters, splits or lifted seams in the membrane
• Blocked or undersized outlets and scuppers

Every job follows the same steps: we look at the roof, photograph what we find, send a written quote, then send photos of the finished work. More about flat and Membrane Roofs.
