Sheet Roofs And Their Fasteners
- Scattered leaks mean fasteners, not holes. Neoprene sealing washers harden and crack throughout the roof at once after ten to fifteen years.
- Refasten before re-sheeting. R120-R320 per square metre versus R380-R750 adds years to structurally sound sheets.
- Coatings only work on sound sheets. On steel with holes in it, you are spending money on a roof that still needs replacing.
- Check roof purlins while the roof is open. Rust-damaged steel won't hold new fasteners.
- Translucent panels go crumbly. They are a fall hazard and should be swapped out with the roof, never walked on.
If an ageing sheeted roof leaks in many spots, ask about refastening the whole area instead of spot repairs.
Compare Wellington QuotesRoof Leak Repairs Wellington Across Different Properties
Houses in town are mainly concrete tile with ageing underlay and worn ridge mortar. Smallholdings and farms towards Bovlei and Hermon have packing sheds, stables and workers' homes under wide-profile sheeting, and old cement sheets from before 1990 are still common on older buildings. Industrial units have IBR on steel portals, where failing fasteners and laps leak onto stock.
Have grey cement sheeting panels from before about 1995 sampled before somebody works on them. No cutting, drilling, breaking or high-pressure cleaning until the result is back.
Common Questions
How much does roof work cost in Wellington?
Concrete tile runs R450-R850 a square metre fitted and IBR R380-R750. Site visits are R1,100-R3,200 where the firm travels in from the metro.
My sheeted roof leaks in a number of unrelated places, why?
Deteriorated fixing sealing washers. The neoprene hardens and splits over the entire roof at about the same time, so leaks appear in scattered spots instead of one place.
Is refixing less expensive than re-sheeting?
Normally. Area-wide refixing at R120-R320 a square metre against R380-R750 to re-sheet buys years where the sheeting panels themselves are in good condition.
Does a protective coat work?
On structurally fine sheeting with surface corrosion damage, yes, at R180-R450 per m². Over perforated steel or rusted roof purlins it only delays replacement.
Do firms work on farms and packing sheds?
Yes, normally R350-R700 per m² on large-profile sheeting where access is good.
Are translucent roof panels hazardous?
Yes. Aged fibreglass panels go fragile and won't carry a person's weight. They should never be walked on and are best renewed during roof work.
What should I do about old grey sheets on a Wellington shed?
Have it analysed before a roofer touches it. Material dating from before about 1995 may contain asbestos and removal is regulated work requiring a registered asbestos contractor.
