Roofing Epsom

If your corrugated iron roof is more than 30 years old, has multiple rust patches, or has been repaired more than twice in the last five years, full replacement is almost always more cost-effective over a 10-year horizon than continued patching. Key indicators that make replacement the right call include: rust-through holes larger than 5mm, widespread fastener corrosion (screws or nails pulling through), sagging sarking or purlins visible from inside, and valley iron with visible pinhole corrosion. OneRoofing's Licensed Building Practitioners offer free on-site assessments across Epsom and provide a written repair-vs-replace cost comparison so you can make an informed decision without any sales pressure.

For Epsom's pre-war California bungalows and Craftsman homes, long-run Colorsteel in a traditional 5-rib corrugated (Custom Orb) profile is the most appropriate and popular choice. It matches the original corrugated iron aesthetic, carries a 40-year BlueScope material warranty, and requires zero maintenance beyond periodic gutter cleaning. The PVDF-coated Colorsteel Enamel range offers superior UV resistance and colour retention for Epsom's sun-exposed north-facing roofs. For 1950s–1970s brick-and-tile homes in Epsom, stone-coated metal tiles provide an excellent tile aesthetic with the durability and weight advantage of steel. Architectural asphalt shingles are another option for homes originally featuring this material. OneRoofing carries samples of all options for your free on-site consultation.

Yes. Roof painting is a cost-effective way to extend the life of concrete or clay tile roofs that are structurally sound but weathered. OneRoofing's Epsom roof painting service follows a comprehensive 5-step process: high-pressure wash to remove all moss, lichen, and contaminants; biocide treatment; ridge cap re-bedding and flexible re-pointing where required; primer application; and two coats of premium elastomeric roof paint rated for NZ UV and weather conditions. A professionally painted concrete tile roof in Epsom can provide 10–15 more years of service life at approximately 20–25% of full replacement cost. We provide a written quote and colour samples before any work begins.

A typical Epsom residential roof replacement (130–200 m²) takes 2–4 working days from strip to completion, depending on pitch, access complexity, and materials selected. We sequence work to keep the structure weathertight at all times and will never leave the building exposed to rain overnight. Scaffolding is erected before any stripping begins. For Epsom homes with steep pitches or limited access, scaffolding erection typically adds one extra day. We provide a project timeline in your written quote so you know exactly when work starts and finishes.
