Metal & Longrun Roofing in Wellington

What's Included in Our Metal Roofing Work

Metal roofing in Wellington takes a beating from salt air and relentless wind, and it needs a roofer who understands both. We repair and replace all types of metal roof, from traditional corrugated iron to modern trapezoidal long-run profiles in COLORSTEEL and Colorcote. Our work covers rust treatment, replacing corroded or storm-damaged sheets, refixing lifted iron, resealing overlaps and penetrations, and renewing flashings, ridge caps and barge details.

Whether it is a single failing sheet, widespread surface rust, or a section peeled up by a gale, we match the profile and colour, fix the underlying cause, and secure everything to the high-wind standard Wellington roofs require.

Common Metal Roof Problems

• Surface rust and corrosion, especially at fixings, overlaps and cut edges
• Perforations or pinholes letting water through older iron
• Lifted or loose sheets after high wind
• Failed or weathered rubber washers on roofing screws
• Corroded or split flashings around chimneys, valleys and ridges
• Rattling or drumming sheets caused by loose fixings

Our Metal Roof Repair Process

1. Inspect: We assess the extent of rust, damage and fixing failure across the roof.
2. Advise: We recommend targeted repair, rust treatment or sheet replacement as appropriate.
3. Repair: We treat rust, replace sheets, refix and reseal to a watertight, wind-rated finish.
4. Protect: Where useful, we suggest coating to extend the life of a sound iron roof.

Profiles and Coatings for the Coast

Choosing the right material is critical in Wellington. Modern COLORSTEEL comes in grades built for tougher environments, including maxx and ultra options designed for coastal, high-corrosion zones. Corrugate offers a classic look and sheds water well, while trapezoidal profiles suit lower pitches and a contemporary style. For homes near the harbour and south coast, we recommend the corrosion grade that matches your exposure, because specifying a standard product in a severe marine zone is a false economy that leads to early rust.

Why Wellington Is So Hard on Metal Roofs

Coastal Wellington sits in a high corrosion category. Salt carried on the wind settles on roofs and accelerates rust wherever the protective coating is scratched, cut or worn, which is why fixings, laps and cut edges fail first. Add constant wind flexing the sheets and working the fasteners loose, and metal roofs here simply need more attention than in sheltered inland areas. Treating rust early and using the correct corrosion-grade materials makes the difference between a roof that lasts decades and one that fails in a fraction of that time.

Metal Roofing Pricing

Repairs are priced on the number of sheets or fixings involved, the amount of rust treatment needed, access and the roof profile. A few loose fixings or one corroded sheet is an affordable fix, while widespread corrosion may point toward restoration or replacement as better value. We inspect the roof, tell you honestly where it sits, and provide a clear written quote for whichever option is right.
