Re-roofing in Upper Hutt
We specify the roof for your exposure, then build it to last, across Upper Hutt from Trentham to Timberlea.
When an Upper Hutt roof does need replacing, we look at pitch, wind and nearby trees as much as exposure, because overhanging bush shortens the life of any roof.
Re-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.
When rust has gone through the steel, fixings are failing right across the roof, or tiles are breaking faster than they can be patched, replacing the roof costs less than years of repairs.
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 notes that like-for-like re-roofing, where the existing roof has been weathertight for at least 15 years, may be exempt from building consent under Schedule 1. (BRANZ, Replacing a profiled metal roof)
What to look for
- Rust holes or rust through the steel in more than one area
- Repeated leaks in different places
- Fixings loose or failing across the whole 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-roofing.
