Tile Roof Repairs in Porirua

Older tile roofs in established Porirua suburbs suffer from wind-lifted and slipped tiles and failed ridge mortar. We repair them and tell you when metal would be the better long-term answer.

Tile 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.

Concrete and clay tiles crack under foot traffic, falling branches and age, and the mortar that holds ridge tiles breaks down over time. A few broken tiles can let a surprising amount of water in.

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 notes that changing from tiles to metal needs the wind uplift and bracing on the new, lighter roof assessed. (BRANZ, Replacing a concrete or masonry tile roof)

What to look for

• Cracked or broken tiles after storms or roof work
• Slipped tiles leaving gaps in the roof
• Crumbling ridge mortar and loose ridge caps

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 tile Roof Repairs.
