Service 02 / New roofs

New Roofs, Christchurch & Canterbury

Long-run iron is the ageless New Zealand roof: light, tough, earthquake-friendly and made for Canterbury conditions. We install new roofs on homes, extensions, new builds and rural buildings across the region.

An ageless New Zealand icon

Iron roofing has protected New Zealand homes for over 150 years, and modern long-run steel is better than it has ever been: high-tensile Colorsteel with warranted coatings, profiles for every architectural style, and spans that mean fewer joins and fewer places for water to find a way in.

There is a large selection of roofing profiles to choose from, with traditional corrugate, rib-roof and eurotray among them. At Quality Roofing we help you select the profile that suits the style you are after, and because we have roofs all over Canterbury and Marlborough, we can give you addresses of completed jobs so you can see profiles and colours on real houses before committing.

What we install

  • Residential and rural roofing and cladding in long-run Colorsteel
  • Traditional corrugate, rib-roof and eurotray profiles
  • Bull-nose verandas and curved roofing details
  • Horizontal cladding
  • Spouting, gutters and downpipes
  • Metal fascia systems
  • Fencing and rural steelwork

Built for Canterbury conditions

A roof that performs in Canterbury has to be specified, not just installed. Nor'west gales across the plains demand wind-rated fixing schedules; snow zones from Oxford to the foothills need snow straps and the right purlin spacing; coastal strips at Kaiapoi, New Brighton and Kaikōura need higher coating classes and the right fixings so the warranty actually stands. This is the detail work that separates a forty-year roof from a fifteen-year one, and it is where four decades of trade experience earns its keep.

We work in with your builder on new builds and extensions, handle measuring and ordering, and coordinate flashings, spouting and penetrations (skylights, flues, solar) so the finished roof is watertight as a system, not a collection of parts.

New roof questions

Which long-run roofing profile should I choose?

Corrugate suits character homes, villas and rural buildings; rib-roof (trapezoidal) profiles give a crisp modern line and handle low pitches well; eurotray gives the flat architectural look popular on new builds. Quality Roofing helps you match profile and pitch, and can show you completed roofs around Canterbury in each profile before you decide.

What Colorsteel colours are available?

The full Colorsteel range is available. We provide colour samples and, more usefully, addresses of roofs we have completed in the colours you are considering, so you can see the real thing in Canterbury light rather than judge from a small swatch.

Do you roof new builds for owner-builders and small builders?

Yes. We work in with builders and project-manage the roofing stage: measuring, ordering, installing roof and flashings, and coordinating with spouting and solar installers so the build stays on programme.

Can you do the spouting and gutters as well?

Yes. We install spouting, gutters, downpipes and metal fascia as part of a new roof, which keeps details consistent and means one contractor is responsible for the whole water-shedding system.

Do you build rural sheds and farm buildings?

We roof and clad rural and residential buildings across Canterbury: implement sheds, barns, stables and garages, plus details like bull-nose verandas and horizontal cladding. Wind exposure on the plains is a key design factor and we specify fixings accordingly.
