Roofers Remuera

Remuera is a classic leafy suburb of large houses, often Edwardian or mid 20th century, on quiet streets lined with big trees. Arney Road alone has seven buildings registered with Heritage New Zealand, and the suburb stretches from the Waitematā shoreline at Hobson Bay down to State Highway 1, with Ōhinerau / Mount Hobson in between.

Big homes here usually mean big, complex roofs, and big trees mean full spouting and mossy shaded roof faces. We inspect the whole roof, including the roof space where we can, at a free on-site measure, and give you an itemised written quote.

Every other roofing service we offer in Remuera, and what each one covers:

Re-Roofing: A full re-roof replaces your old roofing, underlay and flashings with a new COLORSTEEL roof built to today's Building Code.
Roof Replacement: When repairs no longer make sense, we replace the roof completely and leave you with a roof that is good for decades.
Tile to Metal Re-Roofing: Swapping heavy concrete tiles for lightweight steel removes weight from the frame and ends the cycle of cracked tiles and leaks.
Asbestos Roof Replacement: Older Super Six and fibre cement roofs can contain asbestos.

Tile Roof Repairs: Cracked and slipped tiles replaced, ridges rebedded and repointed, and leaks under tiles traced and sealed.
Roof Flashing: Flashings around chimneys, skylights, walls and valleys cause most leaks.

Remuera Homes and Their Roofs

Remuera's Edwardian homes mostly carry corrugated iron or longrun corrugate, while mid 20th-century houses may have concrete or clay tile, corrugated iron or decramastic. Large homes bring hips, valleys, dormers and chimneys, each adding flashing work and leak risk. Tile roofs on these homes often have sound tiles but tired ridge bedding, valleys and underlay. Arts and Crafts and heritage-registered homes, such as those on Arney Road, need care with material and profile choices, and some changes may need consent.

What Remuera Conditions Mean for Your Roof

Remuera's tree-lined streets drop leaves into spouting and valleys and keep shaded roof faces damp, which encourages moss and lichen. Properties on the harbour edge near Hobson Bay and Ōrākei Basin can fall into a higher sea spray zone than streets on the inland ridges, which affects steel grade and fixings. Many villa streets on the isthmus fall within the Special Character Areas Overlay, so a change of roof material or profile should be checked.

Roofers Remuera FAQs

Can you re-roof a heritage-registered home?

Yes. We keep the roof as close to its original character as practical and check what consents apply before quoting. On heritage homes we also take extra care with flashings, ridging and spouting details that are visible from the street.

Our big trees keep blocking the spouting. What can you do?

We clear and check the spouting, sumps and downpipe heads, then suggest leaf guards or accessible rainheads where trees overhang. Valleys and areas behind chimneys also collect debris, so we clear those at the same time.

My tile roof leaks but the tiles look fine. Why?

Tiles often outlast everything around them: the ridge bedding, fixings, valley irons and underlay. We check those from the roof and the roof space, then rebed ridges, replace valleys or recommend a re-roof depending on what we find.

Does a home near Hobson Bay need a different steel?

It may. Harbour-edge properties can sit in a higher sea spray zone than inland streets, which calls for a higher steel grade and suitable fixings. We check the exposure category for your address before specifying.
