Costs and timing

What it costs, how long it takes

How much does re-roofing cost in Auckland?

Re-roofing cost depends on the roof size and pitch, roofing system, access, edge protection or scaffolding requirements, and the condition of the structure beneath the existing roof. We inspect the property and provide a detailed written quote so you know what is included before work begins.

How long does a roof restoration take?

Most take between 2 and 5 days depending on the size of the roof and the scope of work — cleaning, any tile or ridge repairs, re-pointing and recoating. We give you a realistic timeframe with the quote.

Do you charge for a site inspection?

Standard site inspections for quoting are currently provided without charge and with no obligation to proceed. Specialist written roof reports may involve a fee depending on the purpose and scope, which will be confirmed before booking.

How quickly can you get to a leak?

If water is coming in, call rather than email so we can get to it quickly. We will give you an honest time rather than promise one we cannot keep, and tell you what to do in the meantime.

Your roof

Repairs, restorations and re-roofs

How do I know if my roof needs repairing or replacing?

It depends on how many tiles have gone and what shape the underlay is in. A handful of cracked tiles on an otherwise sound roof is a repair. Widespread cracking, perished underlay or repeated leaks in different spots usually means a re-roof is the better spend. We will get up there, take a proper look, and tell you honestly which one you are facing.

Is it better to restore or replace my roof?

It depends on the age and condition of the roof. If the roof structure and roofing system are still suitable but the surface is weathered, faded or showing manageable defects, a restoration can be a cost-effective option. If the underlay, fixings or overall condition mean replacement is the better investment, we will explain that at the site inspection.

Do I need an LBP or building consent for re-roofing?

Requirements depend on the type and scope of the roofing work. Work that requires an LBP is overseen by an LBP licensed roofer, and we will explain any documentation or council requirements that apply to the project.

How long does a concrete tile roof last?

The tiles themselves last a very long time — it is normally the underlay, flashings and fixings underneath that give out first. Keeping moss down and gutters clear makes a real difference to how long you get out of a roof.

How quickly will moss treatment work?

The treatment begins working after application, but the visible result is gradual. Weather removes the treated growth over time, and noticeable improvement may take six months or longer depending on the roof, growth and conditions. A follow-up at 12 months and treatment at the recommended interval after that, commonly every 24 months, keeps it under control.

Will walking on the roof crack more tiles?

Concrete tiles are walked on all the time, but they need to be walked on correctly. Our team knows where the load points are. If a tile does break while we are working, we replace it.

Working with us

Cover, warranties and where we work

What warranty do you offer?

Qualifying roofing work is covered by our written workmanship warranty, with the term applying as stated in the project documents. Roofing materials may also carry manufacturer-backed warranties, with the term depending on the selected product. Your quote and warranty documents will confirm the cover for your job.

Are you licensed and insured?

Work requiring an LBP is overseen by an LBP licensed roofer. We also hold public liability insurance and use trained personnel and appropriate site-safety systems for the work being completed.

Which areas do you cover?

We are based in South Auckland and work across Auckland. Contact us with the property suburb and the service required, and we will confirm availability.

Reports, insulation and solar

The newer services

Can you provide a roof report for insurance?

Yes. We can provide a written roof condition or insurance-related assessment within an agreed scope. Tell us who requested the report and what information they need so we can confirm the right service before booking.

Can you install ceiling insulation during a re-roof?

Often, yes. When the roof is open, access from above can make ceiling insulation installation or upgrades more practical. We will assess the project, existing insulation and access, then include the agreed work in the quote.

Do you clean solar panels?

Yes, for suitable and safely accessible systems. The service covers exterior panel cleaning only and does not include electrical testing, solar repairs or a guarantee of system performance.
