Roof Maintenance Plans in Lower Hutt

For bayside homes from Petone round to Eastbourne, regular washing to clear salt from sheltered parts of the roof is the cheapest way to protect it. Valley homes under trees benefit from scheduled spouting clears.

Roof Maintenance Plans on Lower Hutt roofs

Valley homes under trees in Stokes Valley, Wainuiomata and Belmont collect leaves and moss in spouting and valleys. Bayside homes need regular washing to clear salt from the sheltered parts of the roof that rain never reaches.

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.

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.

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.
