Roof Maintenance
Roof Maintenance
Proactive roof maintenance keeps your roof performing at its best year-round. From replacing ageing fixings and treating surface rust to addressing small leaks and general wear, we help protect your property and extend the lifespan of your roofing system. Regular maintenance reduces the risk of costly emergency repairs and ensures your roof continues to perform in Wellington’s demanding weather conditions
Why Roof Maintenance Is Essential
Wellington’s weather can be tough on roofs. Wind, heavy rain, and coastal salt air slowly wear down roofing materials over time. Regular maintenance helps catch small issues before they turn into expensive problems.
Here’s why it matters:
Strong winds loosen fixings – Screws and washers can lift or deteriorate, creating entry points for water.
Salt air accelerates corrosion – Coastal exposure speeds up rust, especially on metal roofing.
Rust spreads quickly – What starts as minor surface corrosion can weaken roofing sheets if left untreated.
Seals and flashings fail over time – Small cracks around penetrations and joins can lead to hidden leaks.
Small leaks become big repairs – A minor issue today can turn into ceiling damage, insulation problems, and costly internal repairs tomorrow.
Regular roof maintenance gives you peace of mind. It protects your property, extends the lifespan of your roof, and reduces the risk of unexpected repair bills.
Our roof maintenance service is thorough and preventative. We don’t just look for obvious problems — we identify early warning signs before they become costly repairs.
During a maintenance visit, we:
Inspect roofing sheets and flashings to ensure everything is secure and weather-tight
Replace loose, lifted, or corroded fixings to prevent leaks caused by worn washers or movement
Reseal penetrations and flashings around vents, skylights, and joins
Treat surface rust and apply spot priming to stop corrosion from spreading
Clear debris from gutters and roof valleys to prevent water build-up and overflow
Check for early signs of leaks or water entry before internal damage occurs
Apply moss and lichen treatment (if required) to prevent moisture retention and coating breakdown
