Built for Wellington Weather
We have repaired roofs across the region since 2013, through everything the Cook Strait southerly throws at them. Wellington sits in a very high wind zone under NZS 3604, so we fix flashings and fixings to hold in gusts that regularly top 140km/h. Local experience means we know exactly where these roofs fail.
Fast, Honest Response
We reply to every enquiry within two business hours and give you a clear written quote before any work starts. No vague estimates, no pressure to re-roof when a repair will do. Over 90% of the jobs we are called to are solved with a targeted repair or restoration rather than a costly replacement.
Tidy Work, Guaranteed
Every repair is backed by our workmanship guarantee, and we leave your property spotless, right down to sweeping for stray roofing nails. Our roofers work to the New Zealand Building Code and follow Site Safe practices on every job, so the work is safe, compliant and made to last.
What Types of Roof Problems Do We Fix?
Roof Leaks & Water Ingress
Leaks are the number one reason Wellington homeowners call us. Water often travels along framing before it drips, so the stain on your ceiling is rarely under the actual fault. We track the true entry point and seal it properly.
Water damage is a leading cause of home insurance claims in NZStorm & Wind Damage
Wellington's southerly gales lift ridge caps, peel back flashings and send debris across roofs. Even one loosened sheet lets wind-driven rain underneath. We secure and replace damaged sections before the next front arrives.
Wellington gusts regularly exceed 140km/h in exposed suburbsCracked & Slipped Tiles
Concrete and terracotta tiles crack with age, foot traffic and frost, and slip when the bedding or nails fail. A single broken tile can funnel litres of water into the roof cavity during heavy rain.
Most tile roofs last 40-50 years with repairs along the wayRusted & Corroded Iron
Salt-laden air off the harbour accelerates corrosion on older iron roofs, especially at fixings and overlaps. We treat surface rust early and replace sheets that are past saving before pinholes become leaks.
Coastal Wellington roofs face a high corrosion categoryFailed Flashings & Valleys
Flashings around chimneys, skylights and valleys are where most roofs actually leak. Old sealant cracks and lifts, and valleys clog and overflow. We re-flash and re-seal these vulnerable junctions correctly.
Flashing and junction faults cause the majority of roof leaksMoss, Lichen & Blocked Gutters
Wellington's damp, sheltered gullies grow moss and lichen fast. It holds moisture against the roof and washes into gutters, causing overflow that rots fascia and soaks walls. We clear and treat both.
Blocked gutters are a top preventable cause of leaksWhat Types of Roofing Services Do We Offer?
Targeted Leak Repairs
Our most requested service. We inspect, find the source, and carry out a lasting repair, whether that means new flashings, re-bedding tiles, replacing a sheet or resealing a penetration. Small repairs now prevent expensive interior damage later, and most are completed in a single visit once the weather allows safe access.
Over 90% of callouts solved without a full re-roofRoof Restoration & Coating
A full restoration cleans, repairs, treats rust or moss, and re-coats the roof to extend its life for a fraction of the cost of replacement. It is the smart middle option for a structurally sound roof that simply looks tired or has lost its protective coating.
Restoration can cost far less than a full re-roofRe-Roofing & Replacement
When a roof is genuinely at the end of its life, we replace it with modern long-run COLORSTEEL or new tile, upgrading underlay and fixings to current code. A quality new roof is engineered to last decades and adds real value and weather-tightness to your home.
Long-run steel roofs are engineered for 30-50 year lifespansGutter & Spouting Work
We clear, repair, reseal and replace guttering and downpipes so water is carried safely away from your walls and foundations. Well-functioning spouting is one of the cheapest forms of insurance against leaks, rot and dampness in a Wellington home.
Clean gutters prevent a large share of avoidable leaksPreventive Maintenance Plans
Annual inspections and cleans catch small faults, cracked seals, lifting flashings and moss, before they become leaks. Regular maintenance is proven to extend roof life and is far cheaper than reacting to water damage inside the home after it happens.
Routine maintenance measurably extends roof lifespanRoof Inspections & Reports
Buying, selling or just want peace of mind? We provide detailed roof inspections with a clear photo report and priced recommendations. It is ideal before a property purchase, so you know exactly what condition the roof is really in before you commit.

"Storm lifted a section of our iron roof on a Sunday night. They came out, made it safe and watertight, then came back and did the proper repair. Great communication the whole way through."Michael P. Lower Hutt
"Our tile roof was covered in moss and losing tiles. They restored it instead of pushing a full re-roof, and it looks brand new. Honest advice and a tidy team who cleaned up every day."Anna & Dave M. Porirua

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a roof repair cost in Wellington?
Roof repair costs depend on the roof type, the extent of the damage and access. Minor leak repairs are usually the most affordable option, while restorations and re-roofs cost more. We provide a free, no-obligation written quote after inspecting your roof so you know the price before any work starts.
Do you offer emergency roof repairs after a storm?
Yes. Wellington's southerly storms can lift flashings, crack tiles and drive water under roofing overnight. We offer emergency callouts to make your roof watertight fast, then return to complete a permanent repair once conditions allow.
How do I know if my roof needs repair or full replacement?
We inspect the roof and give you an honest assessment. If a repair or restoration will give you years of reliable service we will recommend that first. We only suggest a re-roof when the underlying material has genuinely reached the end of its life.
Which areas do you cover?
We repair roofs across Greater Wellington, including Wellington City, Lower Hutt, Upper Hutt, Porirua, Petone, Johnsonville, Karori, Miramar, Tawa and the Kapiti Coast.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Our roofers work to New Zealand Building Code standards and follow Site Safe practices, and we carry public liability insurance. We are happy to provide documentation before work begins.
Can regular maintenance stop leaks before they start?
Absolutely. Most Wellington roof leaks trace back to blocked gutters, failed flashings or moss holding moisture against the surface. An annual inspection and clean catches these early and is far cheaper than repairing water damage inside the home.
