Emergency Roof Repairs on Upper Hutt roofs
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.
When a gale lifts a sheet of iron or a branch comes through the roof, the first job is stopping more water getting in. We secure loose sheets, cover openings and divert water away from the inside of the house.
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, with the strongest gusts near the south coast and Cook Strait. (NIWA, Wellington regional climatology)
