Christchurch homes and their roofs
Christchurch housing spans 1900s villas and bungalows in St Albans, Sydenham and Riccarton, 1960s-70s homes with decramastic or concrete tile in Bishopdale, Hornby and Redwood, and post-quake rebuilds citywide. Each era brings its own roof problems, from rusted valley irons on villas to chip-shedding decramastic tiles and failed internal gutters on 1990s monolithic-era homes.
Local conditions matter
Christchurch roofs deal with nor'west gales, winter frosts and, in coastal suburbs like Sumner and New Brighton, salt spray. Post-earthquake, many roofs also carry patched or moved flashings that eventually leak. We assess all of this as part of a free roof check.
