Signs that your roof might need repair or replacement include leaks, missing or damaged shingles, visible sagging, and significant wear and tear. The New Zealand building code requires that non-structural roof coverings have a minimum lifespan of 15 years. However, a typical long-run metal roof should last around 25 years, depending on various factors such as proximity to the coast and environmental conditions. If your roof is approaching 20 years of age, it’s very likely it’s near the end of its useful life. We offer thorough roof inspections to determine the condition of your roof and recommend the best course of action.

The cost of a roofing project varies depending on factors like the brand and type of product you choose, the grade of roofing suitable for your location, and environmental considerations, such as proximity to the coast. More specifically the factors that may be included in your quote are:

  • Scaffolding and other protective measures to replace or repair the roof
  • Any necessary repairs once the old roof is removed
  • If your roof has a steep pitch or large rafter spaces, the cost might be higher
  • Additional features such as chimneys, skylights, and raking cuts will increase the cost of a metal roof replacement.
  • The cost of the square metre of a larger roof may be reduced

Remember the durability of your roof depends on the quality of materials as well as on the expertise of the workers.
