Spouting and Gutters Johnsonville

If your Johnsonville home still has its original spouting, there is a fair chance it is rusted at the joints, sagging between brackets or too small for the roof area feeding it. Replacing it on its own or alongside a re-roof keeps the rain where it belongs.

Replacing original spouting on Johnsonville state houses

From 1938 to 1956, 329 state houses went up in Johnsonville, starting in Bould Street on the former Native Reserve between Broderick Road and Fraser Avenue. They were built to standard designs, and many still have spouting, brackets and fascia that are decades old. Typical faults are rust at the joints, sagging between brackets and a fascia gone soft where water has dripped for years. Because the designs repeat, the spouting layout is usually straightforward to measure and replace.

Johnsonville sits in a small basin at the top of the Ngauranga Gorge, on the same upthrust block as the suburbs from Karori north, and homes on the basin slopes catch the wind. New brackets are spaced for that exposure. On sloping sections toward Mt Kaukau and over the hill toward Newlands, each downpipe is connected to the stormwater network rather than left to discharge onto a bank.

Later homes and infill units bring other spouting types. Low-pitch infill roofs can drain to internal or concealed gutters, which need their outlets and overflows checked, and concrete tile or decramastic roofs on later homes shed water quickly into spouting that may be too small for the area. When a state house is re-roofed in COLORSTEEL, new spouting in a matching colour usually goes on at the same time. The repeated designs also make it easy to compare your house with a neighbour's that has already been done.

Local tip: If your Johnsonville state house still has its original spouting, check the fascia behind the joints, as it is often soft after decades of drips.

Spouting and Gutters in Johnsonville: Local Conditions

In Karori, Ngaio and Khandallah, mature trees on the hills fill spouting with leaves, and a blocked outlet on a steep section can send water straight down a bank. Larger outlets, leaf guards and downpipes connected properly to stormwater all help.

Older state houses can still have early spouting that is rusted at the joints or sagging between brackets.

Homes in Johnsonville

Johnsonville's state houses from 1938 to 1956 were built to standard designs, and their roofs, underlay and spouting are now many decades old. Later homes towards Mt Kaukau and Newlands can carry concrete tile, decramastic or longrun steel, and infill units add low-pitch roofs. A COLORSTEEL re-roof suits most of these homes.
