A small roof leak today can become a costly repair tomorrow
A leaking or damaged roof rarely stays a minor problem. Left unchecked, water tracks through ceilings, soaks insulation and rots framing, turning a quick fix into a far larger bill. The sooner a leak is caught, the less it costs to put right.
Most of our roofing work involves re-roofing and repairs rather than new installations, covering Colorsteel replacements, metal roofing maintenance, and spouting and downpipe repairs. We also fit flashings and roof penetrations for heat pumps and solar to keep everything watertight.

Roof leak repair on the Kapiti Coast
Locating the leak is usually the hard part of any roof leak repair. Water can enter at one point and show up metres away, so tracing the real source matters before anything is sealed.
Common causes include failed flashings, loose or corroded fixings, split sheets and blocked spouting. Roof and internal gutter leaks sometimes take a process of elimination to isolate. A roof can only be guaranteed leak-free where we have installed the complete roof from new.
Repairs often sit alongside spouting and drain repair work where surface water is not draining away as it should.

Colorsteel roofing and roof replacement across Kapiti
Widespread rust, sagging sheets or repeated leaks usually point to replacement rather than patching. Colorsteel roofing suits coastal conditions across Waikanae and the Kapiti Coast, standing up to salt spray and wind while staying light on framing.
Sheets are fixed to manufacturer specifications, with flashings detailed correctly so the roof performs through seasons. Old roofing is stripped, the framing is checked, and then new sheets, flashings and spouting are installed in sequence.
A roof is never left exposed in heavy rain, so weather can shift timing. Where a property has a heat pump installation or rooftop unit, the penetrations around it are weatherproofed in the same job.

Flashings and penetrations for heat pumps and solar
Heat pumps and solar panels both require openings to be cut through the roof, and those openings are a frequent source of leaks when detailed poorly.
Flashings and roof penetrations are fitted to keep the surrounding sheets watertight and to sit correctly with your existing roof profile. This detail comes up often on our jobs, given the number of hot water and heating systems installed across the region.
Penetrations for hot water systems often accompany a solar water heating installation, where pipework and mounting brackets pass through the roof and need sealing that lasts.

Working safely at height and what to expect
Roof work carries genuine risk, so health and safety comes first on every job. Harnesses and scaffolding may be required depending on the roof, and those costs are charged to the job.
Two tradespeople are sometimes needed for roofing, spouting or heavy lifting under health and safety requirements. All roofing is covered by our Master Plumbers Guarantee. A roof is often accessed alongside hot water cylinder installation, where an outdoor cylinder, flue or vent connects through the roof structure and needs flashing at the same time.

It depends on the age, extent of damage and material of your roof. A few loose fixings or a single leak often means a straightforward repair. Widespread rust, sagging or repeated leaks usually point towards replacement. We inspect, check the underlay and fixings, then advise.
Most leaks come from failed flashings, loose fixings, corroded sheets or blocked spouting. A repair is often quick once the source is located, which is the tricky part. We trace where the water is entering and seal or replace the damaged section.
Colorsteel roofing handles coastal conditions well, resisting rust and salt spray better than many alternatives. It is light, durable and comes in a wide range of colours. We install it to manufacturer specifications, with correct fixings and flashings so it performs for years.
Look for certified, insured roofers with local experience, genuine materials and a workmanship guarantee. Ask whether they handle spouting and flashings too, not just the sheets. As qualified contractors, we manage the full job with all work covered by our Master Guarantee.
Most residential roof replacements take two to five days, depending on the size, pitch and complexity of the roof. Weather can affect timing, as a roof is not left exposed in heavy rain. We remove the old roofing, check the framing, then install in sequence.
