Roof Repairs Christchurch & Canterbury

Leaks, rust, storm damage, failed flashings, blocked internal gutters: we find the real cause and fix it properly, on all roof types, with urgent repairs when the weather turns.

Repairs by people who know roofs

Roofs cop all sorts of damage: environmental wear like moss, mould and leaf build-up; drainage problems on low-pitch sections; and physical damage from high winds, hail, television aerial installers and anyone who has walked a roof without knowing where to put their feet. Add Canterbury's freeze-thaw winters and nor'west gales, and even good roofs need attention now and then.

Quality Roofing has vast experience repairing damage and leaks on every type of roof. From long-run steel to pressed-metal tile, concrete tile, shingle and membrane, we have dealt with them all. More importantly, we diagnose before we quote: a repair that doesn't address the actual cause is just a deposit on the next leak.

Common repairs we carry out

  • Leak detection and permanent leak repairs
  • Flashing repairs and replacement: chimneys, walls, penetrations, solar tubes
  • Chimney repairs, re-flashing and removal of failing brick chimneys
  • Internal gutter repairs and full conversion to external gutters
  • Storm damage: lifted ridging, loose sheets, torn spouting (insurance documentation provided)
  • Rust treatment and replacement of corroded sheets and valley irons
  • Spouting, gutter and downpipe repairs and replacement
  • Preventive maintenance checks before winter

Internal gutter problems, solved for good

Internal fascia gutters (common on 1960s-90s Canterbury homes) are prone to blocking, rusting and leaking as they age, and when they overflow the water goes straight into your soffit, walls and ceilings. We can remedy this permanently with a full conversion to external guttering, including the New Zealand-developed RIGS system, for which we are the authorised installer across the South Island.

Urgent or emergency repairs are addressed as staff availability allows, but we will always try our best. If water is coming in now, call 027 209 8145.

Repair questions

My roof is leaking now. Can you come urgently?

We address urgent and emergency repairs as fast as staff availability allows, and we will always try our best to make a leaking roof safe quickly, even if the permanent repair is scheduled for later. Call Nigel directly on 027 209 8145 with a description of the leak.

How do you find the source of a roof leak?

Water rarely shows inside directly below where it gets in. We trace leaks from the roof surface down: checking flashings, penetrations, fixings, laps, ridging and gutters, and following stains on the underlay or framing back to the entry point. Four decades of doing this makes the difference between fixing the leak and just moving it.

What types of roof can you repair?

All common New Zealand roof types: long-run steel, pressed metal and decramastic tile, concrete tile, shingle and membrane. From long-run steel to tiles, we have dealt with them all.

Is it worth repairing an old roof, or should I reroof?

An honest assessment is part of every repair visit. If a $600 flashing repair will genuinely buy your roof another decade, that is what we will recommend. If the roof is at the end of its life and repairs would be throwing good money after bad, we will show you why and quote a reroof instead. The choice stays yours.

Can you fix leaking internal gutters?

Yes, this is a specialty. Internal fascia gutters block, rust and overflow into the soffit and walls as they age. We repair where practical, and where the design itself is the problem we can convert to external gutters, including the purpose-built RIGS system, of which we are the authorised South Island installer.

Do you repair storm and wind damage, and work with insurance?

Yes. Lifted ridging, torn spouting and sheets loosened in nor-west events are regular call-outs. We photograph and document the damage, make the roof safe, and provide the itemised repair quote your insurer needs.
