Exposed timber roof framing during a Wellington re-roof

Re-roofing in Kapiti Coast

We specify the roof for your exposure, then build it to last, across Kapiti Coast from Paraparaumu to Otaihanga.

When we re-roof a Kapiti home with mixed old and new sections, we can bring the whole house onto one consistent roof, specified for salt on the beach side.

Re-roofing on Kapiti Coast roofs

When we re-roof a beachside Kapiti home we specify the coating and fixings for the salt exposure. Inland homes in Waikanae or Otaki can often use a standard specification. Mixed roofs can be brought onto one consistent roof at the same time.

When rust has gone through the steel, fixings are failing right across the roof, or tiles are breaking faster than they can be patched, replacing the roof costs less than years of repairs.

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.

Kapiti Coast exposure: Beach suburbs from Paekakariki to Otaki Beach are exposed to salt spray and wind off the Tasman; inland areas such as Waikanae, Te Horo and Otaki town are more sheltered.

BRANZ notes that like-for-like re-roofing, where the existing roof has been weathertight for at least 15 years, may be exempt from building consent under Schedule 1. (BRANZ, Replacing a profiled metal roof)

What to look for

  • Rust holes or rust through the steel in more than one area
  • Repeated leaks in different places
  • Fixings loose or failing across the whole roof

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 re-roofing.
