Emergency Roof Repairs in Porirua
We find the cause, fix it properly and show you the photos, across Porirua from Titahi Bay to Waitangirua.
Porirua's exposed hilltops and coastal suburbs take the brunt of strong westerly and southerly wind. Lifted sheets and torn flashings are the usual emergency calls, and we make them safe first.
Emergency Roof Repairs on Porirua roofs
Wind does a lot of the damage on Porirua roofs. Fixings work loose at the edges and ridges, lifted sheets let driven rain straight in, and coastal salt rusts the laps. We refix and reseal with the exposure in mind, not just the leak.
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.
The housing ranges from older long-run and tile roofs in the established suburbs to newer homes in Whitby and Aotea, so the right answer for a roof here depends very much on the street.
Porirua exposure: Coastal suburbs such as Titahi Bay, Plimmerton and Pukerua Bay sit close to breaking surf, where BRANZ advises against zinc and aluminium coated steel; hill suburbs like Whitby and Aotea are more about 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)
What to look for
