Emergency Roof Repairs in Lower Hutt
We find the cause, fix it properly and show you the photos, across Lower Hutt from Petone to Woburn.
Storms hit Lower Hutt differently by street: exposed hillsides in Belmont and Stokes Valley lose sheets at the ridge, while bayside homes in Eastbourne cop salt-laden wind straight off the harbour. We make the roof safe first, wherever it is.
Emergency Roof Repairs on Lower Hutt roofs
On Lower Hutt roofs we often trace leaks to original flashings on 1950s and 1960s homes, where the sealant and fixings have simply reached the end of their life. On the eastern bays, salt sitting under laps and at the edges adds rust to the mix.
When a gale lifts a sheet of iron or a branch comes through the roof, the first job is stopping more water getting in. We secure loose sheets, cover openings and divert water away from the inside of the house.
That split matters on a roof. A valley home in Naenae or Taita usually needs fixings, flashings and coatings that will cope with age and rain. A bayside home in Eastbourne needs materials chosen for salt as well.
Lower Hutt exposure: Bayside homes from Petone foreshore round to Eastbourne are in the salt-spray zone; valley suburbs further inland are usually gentler, but hillside streets in Belmont and Stokes Valley catch more wind.
NIWA describes Wellington as one of the windiest parts of New Zealand, with the strongest gusts near the south coast and Cook Strait. (NIWA, Wellington regional climatology)
