Frequently asked questions

Most long-run steel roofs in New Zealand last 40–60 years, even in Wellington’s coastal climate, provided they’re maintained well. Regular inspections, cleaning gutters, and quick repairs extend the life of your roof. We recommend an annual roof check to protect your investment.

In most cases, re-roofing with the same material in NZ does not require council consent. However, if you change to a heavier product (e.g. tiles) or alter the roof structure, consent may be required.

For Wellington homeowners, we can liaise with the council if needed and ensure your project stays compliant and stress-free.

Long-run COLORSTEEL® roofing is the most popular choice for Kiwi homes because it’s durable, cost-effective, and looks great on Wellington homes of all styles.
Other common options include:

• ColorCote® roofing – another premium coated steel option
• Butynol membrane – ideal for flat roofs
• Tray profile roofing – perfect for modern architectural designs

We’ll recommend the best roofing material for your home and budget.
