Roof Restoration in Upper Hutt

With less salt to deal with, many Upper Hutt metal roofs keep their steel sound long after the paint has faded. That makes restoration a realistic option for more roofs here than on the coast.

Roof Restoration 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.

A roof that is faded, chalky or starting to show surface rust is not necessarily a roof that needs replacing. If the steel underneath is sound, a proper restoration can give it many more years.

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.

BRANZ links regular washing and maintenance of painted metal roofs to achieving their expected durability. (BRANZ, Replacing a profiled metal roof)

What to look for

• The paint is faded, chalky or peeling but the steel is solid
• Surface rust is limited to laps, edges and fixings
• There are no holes, soft spots or widespread failed fixings

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 roof Restoration.
