Tile Roof Repairs in Kapiti Coast

Tile roofs on Kapiti homes take wind off the Tasman at the ridges and edges. We repair and rebed them, and advise when replacing heavy tiles with metal makes sense.

Tile Roof Repairs 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.

Concrete and clay tiles crack under foot traffic, falling branches and age, and the mortar that holds ridge tiles breaks down over time. A few broken tiles can let a surprising amount of water in.

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 notes that changing from tiles to metal needs the wind uplift and bracing on the new, lighter roof assessed. (BRANZ, Replacing a concrete or masonry tile roof)

What to look for

• Cracked or broken tiles after storms or roof work
• Slipped tiles leaving gaps in the roof
• Crumbling ridge mortar and loose ridge caps

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 tile Roof Repairs.
