If your shingle roof needs attention, we are here to help with professional workmanship, honest advice, and repairs that last.

Tracking the exact cause of a roof leak can be challenging. Water often enters at one point but appears elsewhere inside the home. Our team uses proven methods to:

• Trace the water path
  
• Inspect shingles, underlay, flashing, and ridges
  
• Remove and replace compromised materials
  
• Seal and secure all vulnerable areas

We fix both minor leaks and serious water ingress, ensuring your home stays dry in future storms.

We replace individual shingles that are cracked, curled, dented, or missing. This is a cost effective repair option that restores your roof’s integrity without removing large areas of shingles.

We carry a variety of shingle profiles to find the closest visual match. Older roofs naturally fade in colour, so exact matching may be impossible on aged roofs, but the repair will blend in over time.

A large portion of leaks originate from flashing problems. We inspect all flashings and repair or replace any that:

• Have rusted
  
• Have lifted or shifted
  
• Are cracked or poorly sealed

Correct flashing work is essential for a watertight roof. We use high quality metal and modern sealing techniques to ensure long lasting performance.

Moss removal must be done carefully to protect the shingle surface. We never use high pressure washing because this can remove protective granules. Instead, we use:

• Soft brushing
  
• Low pressure rinsing
  
• Moss killing treatments suitable for asphalt shingles

Cleaning the roof helps prevent moisture damage and restores the appearance of the shingles.

A clogged gutter system can cause water to overflow and damage the edge of your roof. We can provide:

• Full gutter and downpipe clean
  
• Eave and edge repairs
  
• Replacement of water damaged timber
  
• Installation of new gutter flashings if required

Clear gutters are essential for preventing rot and leaks at roof edges.

We offer annual or bi annual roof inspections to help homeowners stay ahead of problems. During an inspection, we check:

• Loose or lifting shingles
  
• Exposed nail heads
  
• Early moss formation
  
• Flashing condition
  
• Debris build up
  
• Early signs of underlay wear
  

Catching problems early is the best way to avoid expensive repairs in the future.

Auckland storms can strike without warning. We provide emergency callouts to secure your roof and stop water intrusion. Our emergency service includes:

• Temporary tarping or patching
  
• Leak control during heavy rain
  
• Safety checks for further risks
  
• Permanent repair scheduled once weather improves

Immediate action can prevent thousands of dollars in interior damage.

Roof leaks can appear as water stains on ceilings, damp spots on walls, or active dripping during rainfall. Causes often include:

• Cracked or loose shingles
• Blown off shingles after high winds
• Lifted or damaged ridge capping
• Faulty metal flashings around chimneys or skylights
• Deteriorated underlay from age or moisture

Even a small leak can quickly damage framing, insulation, plasterboard, and interior finishes. Early repair is essential to avoid mould and structural deterioration.

Asphalt shingles can be dislodged or cracked due to strong winds, falling branches, or ageing in the sun. A single missing shingle may expose the underlay to water, which can lead to leaks. Damaged shingles should be replaced as soon as possible to maintain the roof’s protective barrier.

Over time, shingles naturally shed their protective mineral granules. You may notice:

• Shingles with smooth, bald areas
  
• Granules accumulating inside gutters
  
• Patches of uneven colour

This is a normal ageing process but does mean the shingles are less protected from UV and moisture. Significant granule loss is often a sign the roof is nearing the end of its service life.

Shaded or south facing roof slopes in Auckland tend to stay damp longer. This encourages moss or lichen to grow. Moss can:

• Trap moisture against the shingles
  
• Lift shingles as it spreads
  
• Shorten the lifespan of the roof

Many modern shingles have algae resistant properties, yet older roofs or damp locations may still develop growth that needs cleaning.

Roof flashings seal joints and vulnerable areas, including:

• Chimneys
  
• Skylights
  
• Vent pipes
  
• Valleys
  
• Parapets

If a flashing deteriorates or pulls away, water can enter even when shingles look intact. Flashing repairs are a frequent and important part of maintaining a watertight roof.

If a leak is left untreated for months or years, the plywood sheathing under your shingles can rot. This can lead to:

• Sagging areas
  
• A soft or spongy feel underfoot
  
• Visible dips in the roof line

Structural issues require professional assessment and repair to ensure your home remains safe.

Not every problem requires a full roof replacement. In fact, most asphalt shingle roofs can be repaired effectively if they are still within their serviceable lifespan. We always provide honest advice about whether repair or replacement is the best long term option.
