Roof Inspections in Porirua

A Porirua roof inspection looks closely at fixings, edges and ridges for wind damage, and at laps and sheltered faces for salt corrosion on coastal homes.

Roof Inspections on Porirua roofs

Salt that settles on sheltered parts of coastal Porirua roofs is what starts rust. BRANZ recommends washing painted metal roofs every 6 months in severe marine areas, which covers much of the Porirua coastline.

Most people never see their own roof. An inspection gives you photographs of what is there and a plain-language report of its condition, so you can plan, compare quotes, or decide on a purchase.

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.

Building Code clause B2 sets 5, 15 and 50 year minimum durability tiers depending on how hard a building element is to replace. (MBIE, Building Code clause B2 Durability)

What to look for

• Buying or selling a house
• After a major storm
• Before installing solar panels

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 Inspections.
