Tile Roof Repairs in Upper Hutt

Shaded tile roofs in Upper Hutt grow moss that lifts tile edges and blocks valleys. We replace broken tiles, rebed ridges and treat the growth that caused the problem.

Tile 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.

Concrete and clay tiles crack under foot traffic, falling branches and age, and the mortar that holds ridge tiles breaks down over time. A few broken tiles can let a surprising amount of water in.

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 notes that changing from tiles to metal needs the wind uplift and bracing on the new, lighter roof assessed. (BRANZ, Replacing a concrete or masonry tile roof)

What to look for

• Cracked or broken tiles after storms or roof work
• Slipped tiles leaving gaps in the roof
• Crumbling ridge mortar and loose ridge caps

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 tile Roof Repairs.
