Roof maintenance plans in Wellington

Scheduled washing, spouting clears and checks, with a photo report after every visit.

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.

A maintenance plan puts the washing, spouting clearing and checks on a schedule, so small problems are found before they turn into leaks.

What a maintenance visit includes

  • Washing the roof, including sheltered areas
  • Clearing spouting and checking downpipes
  • Checking fixings, flashings and penetrations
  • Moss and lichen treatment where needed
  • Photo report and recommendations

BRANZ recommends washing painted metal roofs every year, or every 6 months in severe marine areas. (BRANZ, Replacing a profiled metal roof)

Who benefits most

Coastal homes, exposed hillside sites, roofs under trees, and landlords or owners who want a record of maintenance all benefit from a plan.

How the job works

  1. Call or send the form

    Tell us what you have noticed and where. We call back to book a time to look at the roof. If water is coming in now, call rather than using the form.

  2. We inspect and photograph

    We get on the roof (or use a drone or ladder where that is safer), photograph what matters, and check the underside where we can reach it.

  3. Written quote with the photos

    You get the photos, what we found, and a written price. If repair, restore and replace are all options, we price them side by side.

  4. The work, then proof

    We do the job, clean up, and send photos of the finished work so you can see what was done on a roof you cannot easily see yourself.
