Roof Maintenance Plans in Porirua

Much of the Porirua coastline is a severe marine environment, where BRANZ recommends washing painted metal roofs every 6 months. A maintenance plan puts that on a schedule.

Roof Maintenance Plans 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.

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.

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.

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.
