Roofers Paraparaumu

Paraparaumu began as a settlement near the railway crossing, surrounded by orchards and small farms as the bush was cleared, and Coastlands Shopping Centre opened in 1969. Together with Raumati Beach and Raumati South it is now among the fastest growing urban areas in New Zealand and a commuter town for people working in Wellington.

Its partner settlement on the coast, Paraparaumu Beach, sits directly opposite Kāpiti Island. Kāpiti is more sheltered than Wellington city, with Paraparaumu Airport recording gusts over 63 km/h on about 77 days a year compared with about 166 at Wellington Airport, but beachfront homes still face salt spray.

Every roofing service we offer in Paraparaumu, and what each one covers:

Re-Roofing: A full re-roof replaces your old roofing, underlay and flashings with a new COLORSTEEL roof built to today's Building Code.
Roof Replacement: When repairs no longer make sense, we replace the roof completely and leave you with a roof that is good for decades.
Tile to Metal Re-Roofing: Swapping heavy concrete tiles for lightweight steel removes weight from the frame and ends the cycle of cracked tiles and leaks.

Paraparaumu Homes and Their Roofs

Paraparaumu's housing spans older homes near the railway and town centre, beach homes at Paraparaumu Beach and newer subdivisions built as the town has grown. Older homes traditionally have corrugated iron roofs, mid-century houses can carry tile or decramastic, and newer homes usually have longrun steel or metal tile.

What Paraparaumu Conditions Mean for Your Roof

Paraparaumu Beach homes within 500 metres of the sea are in the highest sea spray zone in NZS 3604, and beachfront sites facing breaking surf can be in Zone E, so we confirm the zone with BRANZ Maps. Rainfall at Paraparaumu Airport is about 1,009 mm a year, so spouting needs to be kept clear and sized for the roof. Fixings are still set by the wind zone for each site.

Roofers Paraparaumu FAQs

Is Paraparaumu windy enough to need extra roof fixings?

Paraparaumu is far less windy than Wellington city, but fixings are still set by the NZS 3604 wind zone for your site. Exposed beachfront sections can be in higher zones, so we confirm yours.

Can my faded steel roof be painted instead of replaced?

If the steel is sound and only the finish has faded, roof painting after proper preparation can extend its life. If there is rust through the sheets, re-roofing is usually better value.

Do Paraparaumu Beach homes need coastal-grade steel?

Homes close to the sea do. We check your address with BRANZ Maps and recommend the COLORSTEEL product and fixings to suit, in writing with the quote.

Do you work across the whole Kāpiti Coast?

Yes. We cover Paraparaumu, Paraparaumu Beach, Raumati, Waikanae and Ōtaki.
