Roofing and solar in Upper Hutt
Repairs, new roofs, roof care and solar for homes across Upper Hutt.
Upper Hutt sits furthest from the sea of any area we cover. That means less salt on the roof, but cooler, damper winters, and many sections in Pinehaven, Silverstream and Te Marua are backed by bush or shaded by hills.
The result is a different set of roof problems from the coast: moss and lichen on shaded slopes, leaves filling spouting and valleys, and damp that sits on a roof longer after rain.
Upper Hutt exposure: Being well inland, most Upper Hutt roofs face less salt than coastal areas; shaded and bush-backed sections are where moss, lichen and blocked spouting cause the most trouble.
NIWA describes Wellington as one of the windiest parts of New Zealand. (NIWA, Wellington regional climatology)
Roof repairs in Upper Hutt
Leaks in Upper Hutt often start where leaves and moss have built up: blocked valleys and spouting overflow back under the roof edge, and wet debris holds moisture against flashings. Clearing the cause is part of the repair.
