Upgrade your fascia and gutters for lasting protection

If your home has internal (concealed) gutters, you own one of the most failure-prone details in New Zealand residential building. Hidden inside the roofline, internal gutters block with debris, rust from the inside out, and overflow during heavy rain. Because they are inside the building envelope, every failure sends water into your soffits, walls and ceilings rather than harmlessly over an edge.

RIGS (the Revamp Internal Gutter System) was developed in New Zealand specifically to solve this. Constructed from COLORSTEEL, it replaces the internal gutter and tired fascia with a modern external system engineered for exactly this conversion, rather than improvising with standard spouting components.

Warning signs to check today

  • Water seeping down windows or appearing at the corners of rooms
  • Water coming through soffit linings or from holes in the fascia
  • Black mould appearing on soffit linings
  • Brown spots on the fascia, hidden rust and corrosion showing through

Any of these means water is already inside the roofline. Left alone, the repair bill grows from a gutter conversion into replacing rotted framing and linings.

What the conversion delivers

  • Elimination of internal gutter leaks and overflow problems at the design level
  • A quick, straightforward conversion: days, not weeks, no reroof required
  • A visually modernised roofline that lifts the whole appearance of the house
  • Increased home value and easier pre-sale building inspections
  • Compatibility with timber fascia covers and existing metal fascia systems, internal or external
  • COLORSTEEL durability, installed by the authorised South Island installer

RIGS questions

What is the RIGS system?

RIGS (Revamp Internal Gutter System) is a New Zealand-developed, patent-pending fascia and gutter system designed specifically to replace problematic internal guttering. It is manufactured from COLORSTEEL and converts the failure-prone internal gutter into a clean, serviceable external system. Quality Roofing is the authorised RIGS installer for the South Island.

How do I know if my internal gutters are failing?

The warning signs: water seeping down windows or from corners of the house, water coming through soffit linings or holes in the fascia, black mould appearing on soffits, and brown rust spots showing on the fascia line. Any of these means water is already getting somewhere it should not be, and it is worth an inspection before framing damage develops.

Why do internal gutters cause so many problems?

An internal gutter is a water channel hidden inside the roof line. When it blocks, rusts or its outlets cannot cope with a downpour, the overflow has nowhere to go but into the soffit, walls and ceilings. External systems fail visibly and harmlessly by comparison: water simply spills over the edge, outside the building.

Is RIGS a big job? How disruptive is the conversion?

It is a quick, straightforward conversion in most cases: the RIGS fascia and gutter system installs over existing timber fascia or replaces outdated metal fascia systems without reroofing the house. Most homes are converted in days, and the result also visually modernises the roofline.

Does RIGS work with my existing roof and fascia?

RIGS is designed for both timber fascia covers and the replacement of old metal fascia and internal-gutter systems, whether the existing gutter is internal or external. As authorised installers we assess your roofline and confirm the right configuration as part of a free quote.
