Reroofing Lower Hutt
If your roof is old, leaking in several places or no longer doing its job, reroofing is one of the best investments you can make in your home. A new roof protects your ceilings, insulation, framing and everything inside. Done right, it should last for decades with very little upkeep.
The team at Roofing Lower Hutt has been reroofing Hutt Valley homes for more than 20 years. We manage the whole process and keep you in the loop at every stage.

Signs You Need a Reroof
- Your roof is over 30 years old. Most NZ roofing lasts 30 to 50 years. Past that point, repairs start costing more than they are worth.
- You are paying for repairs every year. Those bills add up. A reroof resets the clock.
- Several areas are failing at once. That means the material is worn out across the whole roof. If the problem is limited to one or two spots, our roof repairs service may be all you need.
- Widespread rust. A few rusty fixings can be fixed. Rust across sheets, seams or valleys cannot.
- A sagging roofline. A reroof lets us reach the framing and fix it before the new roof goes on.
- Water damage inside. Stained ceilings and soggy insulation mean water has been getting in for a while. For an active leak, call our roof leak repairs team first.
Reroofing Materials We Use
Long-run steel. Our first choice for most Lower Hutt reroofs. Tough, low-maintenance and great in wind and rain.
Colorsteel and Colorsteel Endura. New Zealand’s most widely used steel roofing. Endura suits coastal and exposed homes.
Corrugated iron. The classic Kiwi profile. Practical and affordable.
Pressed metal tile. Keeps a tiled look while being lighter and more durable than older tiles.
Butynol. For flat and low-pitch sections.
We will show you the options that suit your home and give you clear quotes you can compare side by side.
Our Reroofing Process
- Assessment and quote. We check your roof and the structure underneath, then give you an itemised quote for all materials and labour.
- Consent advice. If your job needs a building consent, we will explain what is needed before work begins.
- Strip and inspect. We remove the old roof, dispose of the waste and check the framing, underlay and insulation. Anything that needs fixing gets fixed.
- Installation. Your new roof goes on to manufacturer specs and NZ building standards. We keep your home weathertight at the end of each day.
- Flashings and spouting. New flashings, and new gutters where needed, are part of every reroof. See our gutter replacement page for the spouting options we offer.
- Clean up and handover. We clear all waste, walk you through the job and hand over your warranty paperwork.
Reroof or Restore?
Not every tired roof needs a reroof. If your roof is under 35 years old and still sound, roof restoration could add 10 to 15 years for far less money. We will give you an honest comparison of both before any money changes hands. Reroofing and roof replacement usually mean the same job, and we handle both the same careful way.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to reroof a house in NZ?
Most reroofs in Lower Hutt cost between $15,000 and $40,000 or more. Long-run steel and corrugated iron are more affordable than tile. Roofs with many valleys, levels or penetrations cost more than simple gable or hip roofs. We quote free after an inspection.
Do I need a building consent to reroof?
Often not. A like-for-like reroof, using a comparable material in the same position, is generally exempt under Schedule 1 of the Building Act. Changing the structure or moving to a heavier material can need consent. We will check your job and help with paperwork if needed.
How long does a reroof take?
Most reroofs take two to five working days. A simple roof on a three-bedroom home can often be done in two to three days.
How long does a Colorsteel roof last?
Colorsteel is designed to last 40 years or more when installed and maintained properly. Endura comes with a longer warranty for tougher environments.
Can you put a new roof over the old one?
We do not recommend it. Overlaying adds weight, traps moisture and hides the framing. A full strip lets us check and fix the structure first.
