Metal Roofing in Porirua
We specify the roof for your exposure, then build it to last, across Porirua from Titahi Bay to Waitangirua.
For coastal Porirua homes we choose coatings rated for the exposure, following BRANZ guidance near breaking surf. Inland and hill suburbs still need fixings chosen for wind.
Metal Roofing on Porirua roofs
Re-roofing near the coast in Titahi Bay, Plimmerton or Pukerua Bay means choosing a coating rated for the exposure; BRANZ advises against zinc and aluminium coated steel within 200 metres of breaking surf. Up the hill in Whitby the bigger concern is fixing for wind.
Long-run metal is the standard roof across the Wellington region for good reason: it is light, it sheds water and wind well when fixed properly, and it suits everything from villas to modern homes.
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.
BRANZ gives minimum roof pitches of 8 degrees for corrugated and 3 degrees for most trapezoidal profiles. (BRANZ, Replacing a profiled metal roof)
What to look for
- Profile: corrugated for most villas and bungalows, trapezoidal for lower pitches and long runs
- Coating: matched to your corrosion exposure zone
- Fixings and washers compatible with the sheet and coating
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 metal Roofing.

Metal Roofing in Porirua: questions
How do I book metal Roofing in Porirua?
Call 04 000 0000 or send the form with your Porirua suburb and what you have noticed. We look at the roof first, then send photos and a written quote before any work starts.
Corrugated or trapezoidal: which is better?
Neither is better everywhere. Corrugated suits the look of older homes and steeper pitches; trapezoidal profiles handle lower pitches. Your roof pitch often decides it.
