Metal Roofing on Upper Hutt roofs
With less salt to fight, a well-specified long-run roof in Upper Hutt can be a good long-term choice. We still check pitch, wind and nearby trees before choosing the profile and coating.
Long-run metal is the standard roof across the Wellington region for good reason: it is light, it sheds water and wind well when fixed properly, and it suits everything from villas to modern homes.
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.
BRANZ gives minimum roof pitches of 8 degrees for corrugated and 3 degrees for most trapezoidal profiles. (BRANZ, Replacing a profiled metal roof)
What to look for
- Profile: corrugated for most villas and bungalows, trapezoidal for lower pitches and long runs
- Coating: matched to your corrosion exposure zone
- Fixings and washers compatible with the sheet and coating
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 metal Roofing.

How do I book metal Roofing in Upper Hutt?
Call 04 000 0000 or send the form with your Upper Hutt suburb and what you have noticed. We look at the roof first, then send photos and a written quote before any work starts.
Corrugated or trapezoidal: which is better?
Neither is better everywhere. Corrugated suits the look of older homes and steeper pitches; trapezoidal profiles handle lower pitches. Your roof pitch often decides it.
