New Roof Installation Lower Hutt
Building a new home, adding a sleepout or extending your house? Getting the roof right from day one is one of the most important parts of any build. A well-chosen, properly installed roof protects everything under it for decades. A poorly installed one is costly to fix later.
Roofing Lower Hutt works with homeowners, builders and developers across the Hutt Valley to install new roofs that are done properly, on time and built for local weather.

New Roof Installations We Handle
- New homes. We work with your builder or project manager, fit in with the build programme and install to the standard needed for consent sign-off.
- Sleepouts and minor dwellings. Smaller buildings get the same care and detailing as a full house.
- Garages and carports. The right system for the pitch, size and exposure of the structure.
- Extensions. The join between the old and new roof is where many extensions go wrong. We get it watertight. If your existing roof needs work first, our roof repairs team can sort it.
- Decks and outdoor areas. Roofing over patios and decks, including clear and translucent options to let the light in.

Roofing Materials for New Builds
- Long-run steel. Our top pick for most new homes. Light, strong, suits many styles and pitches, and comes with strong warranties.
- Colorsteel and Colorsteel Endura. New Zealand’s most widely specified roofing, in a large range of colours. Endura suits exposed and coastal sites.
- Corrugated iron. A classic Kiwi look that works on both traditional and modern designs, and one of the most affordable choices.
- Pressed metal tile. For a tiled look at a fraction of the weight of concrete tile.
- Butynol. For flat and low-pitch areas such as carports and covered decks.
We will help you choose the right system for your design, site and budget, and give your builder and council clear specs to work from.
Our Installation Process
- Early advice. We like to get involved at the design stage. Early input helps avoid tricky details on site and gives you accurate pricing for budgeting.
- Specification and quote. A detailed, itemised quote covering materials, labour and all metalwork. No hidden extras.
- Consent documents. We provide the technical details and product specs needed for your building consent.
- Installation. We arrive on schedule, install to manufacturer specs and NZ standards and keep your builder updated.
- Flashings and metalwork. Ridges, barges and flashings are all part of our package. We do not leave them to other trades.
- Final check and sign-off. A finished roof ready for consent sign-off, plus warranty paperwork for your materials.
Finish the Job Properly
A new roof needs good drainage to match. We supply and fit spouting and downpipes as part of your build through our gutter replacement and installation service. Once you have moved in, a yearly check through our roof maintenance plan helps your new roof reach its full lifespan.
If you are replacing an old roof on an existing house rather than building new, our reroofing page explains how that process works.
Why Choose Us for Your New Roof?
- We work well with builders. On site, time is money. We turn up when we say we will and do not hold up the programme.
- We get the details right. The gap between a roof that lasts 40 years and one that leaks in five is almost always in the detailing.
- Honest material advice. We recommend what suits your project, not the priciest option.
- 20+ years in the Hutt Valley. New roofs on homes, sleepouts, garages and commercial buildings from Petone to Stokes Valley.
- 70+ five-star reviews from local homeowners and builders.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a new roof cost in NZ?
For a standard new home in the Lower Hutt area, roofing usually costs $15,000 to $35,000 or more for larger or more complex designs. Garages and sleepouts cost much less. We can quote from your plans for free.
What is the cheapest roofing for a new build?
Corrugated and long-run steel are usually the most affordable, with low upkeep and a long life. Tile costs more because of the extra labour. Think about the full lifetime cost, not just the upfront price.
Do I need a building consent for a new roof?
For a new home, the roof is covered by the building consent for the whole project. Some small structures may be exempt under Schedule 1 of the Building Act. We can advise, but check with Hutt City Council if you are unsure.
How long does a new roof take to install?
A standard three to four bedroom home usually takes two to four days. We plan around your build so the roof goes on at the right stage.
