Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to move out during re-roofing?

No, we only remove as much as we can cover with new roofing materials, so your roof will be water proof every night. However if it is asbestos removal there will be a period of time you will need to be out, feel free to discuss this with us.

Are you able to provide insulation?

Yes, when looking at new roof or re-roof you should also consider insulation options to keep your home warm and dry. It is often cost effective to install insulation when the roof is off. Talk to us for insulation options.

When you re-roof my house will my roof be left open?

No, we only remove as much roof as we can replace on the same day, unless it is an asbestos removal, in which case an approved asbestos removal company will remove the roof and cover, and we then commence with the new roof.

Do I need a building consent for re-roofing?

In most cases re-roofing falls under 'like for like' so no permits are required. The exception would be changing from a light weight roof to a heavy weight roof. This would require permits, design and extra structural work to carry the weight.

Why do we need scaffolding?

Worksafe laws dictate that anyone working at height has to be protected from falling. The scaffold does this, it also provides a work platform for any works to the boundaries of the roof. It can be a good idea to utilise scaffolding and get painting and maintenance done to the high or hard to access areas.
