Our Asphalt Shingle Roof Repair Services
Expert Leak Detection & Repair
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.
Damaged or Missing Shingle Replacement
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.
Flashing Repair and Renewal
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.
Safe Moss Removal and Roof Cleaning
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.
Gutter Cleaning and Edge Repairs
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.
Preventative Maintenance and Roof Check Ups
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.
24/7 Emergency Roof Repairs
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.
Common Asphalt Shingle Roof Problems
Leaking Roofs
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.
Missing or Damaged Asphalt Shingles
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.
Granule Loss and General Wear
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.
Moss, Lichen, and Algae Growth
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.
Flashing Failures
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.
Sagging or Structural Soft Spots
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.
Repair or Replace? Honest Guidance Every Time
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.

When Repairs Are Usually Suitable
- The roof is under 20 to 25 years old
- Damage is limited to a specific area
- Only a few shingles are cracked or missing
- Flashing problems are the main issue
- Moss growth is superficial
- The underlay is still in good condition
Targeted repairs can restore performance and keep the roof healthy for many more years.

When Replacement Might Be Better Value
If the roof shows widespread deterioration, repeating repairs may end up costing more over time. Replacement is often recommended when:
- The roof is 25 to 30 years old or older
- Large sections of shingles are curling or cracked
- Underlay is deteriorated or brittle
- There is widespread granule loss
- Multiple leaks are occurring across the roof
- Structural rot or sagging is present
In these cases, investing in a new roof may be more cost effective and safer. We offer full asphalt shingle roof replacements, including complete conversion from tile or metal roofing. Learn more about Roof Replacements and Roof Conversions.

Asphalt Shingle Roof Repair FAQs
My asphalt shingle roof is leaking. What should I do?
Move furniture or belongings away from the leak, collect water in a container, and call us immediately. We provide emergency leak repairs and can temporarily stop water ingress even in bad weather. Once conditions improve, we complete a permanent repair.
Can I replace a few shingles myself?
It is possible but not recommended. Working on a roof is risky without proper equipment, and incorrect installation often leads to leaks. Professional repairs ensure safety, correct fixing patterns, and long term reliability.
How much will a roof repair cost?
Costs vary depending on the scope. A small fix such as replacing a few shingles or sealing a minor leak may cost only a few hundred dollars. More complex repairs involving flashing work or larger damaged areas may cost more. We always inspect first and provide a clear quote before starting.
Does insurance cover roof repairs?
If the damage is caused by a sudden event such as a storm or fallen branch, insurance may cover the repair. Wear and tear is usually not covered. We can assist with documentation for your insurer if needed.
How long should an asphalt shingle roof last?
In New Zealand conditions, a shingle roof typically lasts 20 to 30 years when properly maintained. High grade shingles can last even longer. Regular care and prompt repairs help maximise lifespan.
