Roofs in Glendowie: what we see
Glendowie developed mostly after the war, so much of its housing is 1950s–70s brick-and-tile and weatherboard on generous sections.
Concrete tile is the norm. After 50+ years the tiles become porous and mossy and the ridge mortar breaks down, so roof restoration and full re-roofs in long-run are both common here.
Homes on the cliff tops above Tamaki Strait get a lot of salt spray, which shortens the life of standard fixings and flashings.

Glendowie roofing questions
Could my Glendowie roof contain asbestos?
Tiles themselves don’t, but garage and carport roofs, soffits and flat roofs from this era are often asbestos-cement. We test anything suspect first.
Should I repair or replace my roof?
Often a ridge re-point, moss treatment and repaint is enough, at a fraction of the cost of a new roof. Crumbling tiles, failed underlay or repeat leaks mean a long-run re-roof is better value.
Does being in Glendowie affect my roof?
Homes on the cliff tops above Tamaki Strait get a lot of salt spray, which shortens the life of standard fixings and flashings.
