Solar panels mounted on a dark metal roof in Wellington

Re-roof and Solar Packages in Upper Hutt

We check the roof first, then fit panels that stay put in the wind, across Upper Hutt from Trentham to Timberlea.

If your Upper Hutt roof is near the end of its life and gets good sun, a combined re-roof and solar job avoids paying for access twice.

Re-roof and Solar Packages on Upper Hutt roofs

Open, north-facing roofs in suburbs like Trentham, Wallaceville and Totara Park can suit solar well. Shading from hills and trees varies a lot street to street, so we check each roof rather than assume.

If your roof is near the end of its life and you want solar, doing them separately means paying for access twice and lifting panels off for the re-roof later.

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.

Building Code clause B2 sets a minimum 15 year durability for roof cladding; a new roof under the array matches the long life of the panels. (MBIE, Building Code clause B2 Durability)

What to look for

  • One scaffold and one disruption
  • No cost of lifting panels off later
  • Mounting points planned into the new roof

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 re-roof and Solar Packages.
