Sheeted Roofs And Fixings
- Scattered leaks mean fixings, not holes. Neoprene washers harden and crack across the whole roof at once after ten to fifteen years.
- Refix before you re-sheet. R120 to R320 per square metre against R380 to R750 buys years on structurally sound sheeting.
- Coating works only on sound sheet. Over perforated steel it is money spent on a roof that still has to come off.
- Check purlins while the roof is open. Corroded steel will not hold new fixings.
- Translucent panels go brittle. They are a fall hazard and should be replaced with the roof, never walked on.
On scattered leaks across an ageing sheeted roof, ask about area-wide refixing rather than spot repairs.
Compare Wellington QuotesRoof Repairs Wellington Property Mix
Town housing is mostly concrete tile with ageing underlay and ridge mortar past its life. Smallholdings and farms toward Bovlei and Hermon run packing sheds, stables and workers' housing on large-profile sheeting, with pre-1990s cement sheeting still common on older structures. Industrial units carry IBR on steel portals where fixing and lap failures leak over stock.
Grey cement sheeting from before the mid-1990s must be tested before it is touched. Do not cut, drill, break or pressure-wash it.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does roofing cost in Wellington?
Concrete tile runs R450 to R850 per square metre installed and IBR R380 to R750. Call-outs are R1,100 to R3,200 where the contractor travels in from the metro.
My sheeted roof leaks in several unrelated places, why?
Perished fixing washers. The neoprene hardens and cracks across the whole roof at roughly the same time, so leaks appear in scattered spots rather than one place.
Is refixing cheaper than re-sheeting?
Usually. Area-wide refixing at R120 to R320 per square metre against R380 to R750 to re-sheet buys years where the sheets themselves are sound.
Does a protective coating work?
On structurally sound sheeting with surface corrosion, yes, at R180 to R450 per square metre. Over perforated steel or corroded purlins it only delays replacement.
Do contractors work on farms and packing sheds?
Yes, typically R350 to R700 per square metre on large-profile sheeting where access is good.
Are translucent roof panels dangerous?
Yes. Aged fibreglass panels go brittle and will not carry a person's weight. They should never be walked on and are best replaced during roof work.
What do I do about old grey sheeting on a Wellington shed?
Have it analysed before anyone touches it. Material from before the mid-1990s may contain asbestos and removal is regulated work requiring a registered contractor.
