Roof Maintenance Plans in Kapiti Coast

Beachside Kapiti roofs gather salt and sand on sheltered faces that rain does not wash. A washing and inspection schedule keeps them reaching their expected life.

Roof Maintenance Plans on Kapiti Coast roofs

Beachside Kapiti roofs collect salt and sand on the sheltered faces, which is where corrosion starts. Regular washing and checks keep these roofs reaching their expected life.

A metal roof lasts longer when it is washed and checked regularly. Salt and dirt that sit on sheltered parts of the roof cause corrosion that rain does not wash away.

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.

BRANZ recommends washing painted metal roofs every year, or every 6 months in severe marine areas. (BRANZ, Replacing a profiled metal roof)

What to look for

• Washing the roof, including sheltered areas
• Clearing spouting and checking downpipes
• Checking fixings, flashings and penetrations

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 roof Maintenance Plans.
