Need Roof Repair Specialists?

Roof leaks can happen for many reasons, from natural wear and tear to installation issues to storm damage. But no matter the cause, Solution Roofing is here to identify the issue and put it right. Whether it’s wear and tear, poor installation, or environmental damage, our experienced team will assess your roof, pinpoint the problem, and provide a long-lasting fix.

Common Reasons for Roof Leaks

Loose or Missing Fasteners

Over time, fasteners can loosen or seals can degrade, allowing water penetration.

Improper Flashing Installation

Incorrectly installed or damaged flashing around joins, vents, skylights, and chimneys.

Panel Damage or Corrosion

Dents, punctures, or localised corrosion on metal panels can create pathways for water.

Age-Related Wear & Tear

Even highly durable metal roofs can show wear over time, which may affect their integrity.

Our Process

At Solution Roofing, we’re not just experts at installing new roofs; we can also provide roof repairs to extend the life of your existing roof.

We know it’s not always easy to keep up with roof maintenance, and over time, even the best roofs begin to show signs of wear. Left untreated, small issues can quickly develop into major problems. That’s where we come in. We offer fast, reliable repairs to keep your home or building protected.

Step 1. Response & Inspection

We gather as much information as possible from you to establish the feasibility of roof access and identify where leaks are currently being found.

Step 2. Diagnosis & Solution

A qualified roofer visits your property to carry out a thorough inspection. We identify potential water entry points such as flashings, fixings, or rusted areas. We explain the best course of action, whether that’s a localised repair or a more comprehensive fix.

Step 3. Repair & Verification

Our specialist and licensed team carries out the necessary repairs using high-quality materials and best-practice techniques. Temporary or emergency repairs can be applied immediately to stop water ingress, while permanent solutions are implemented to ensure long-term protection. Once complete, we verify the repair to confirm the leak has been resolved.

Recommendations for Long-Term Results

After the repair, we will present clear feedback on the condition of your roof. If the leak is a symptom of a larger issue (like age or widespread wear), we will provide a clear explanation and recommend a more permanent solution. Our goal is to give you full transparency so you can make the best decision for your property.

ROOF REPORTS

Fixed Price Leak Repair Fees

Our leak repair service incurs a minimum charge of $450 + GST.

This covers:

A site visit by an expert roofer
Up to two hours of investigative and diagnostic work
Implementation of an immediate, targeted repair if deemed viable, using basic materials.

Our Honest Assessment Guarantee

Some leaks can be effectively repaired as a standalone solution. However, on older roofs, a temporary fix may not be durable or permanent. Chasing intermittent leaks on a roof nearing the end of its service life can lead to frustration and recurring costs.

We guarantee our workmanship on any repair we undertake. If our diagnosis determines that a full roof replacement is the only truly effective long-term solution to protect your property, we will provide you with a comprehensive, no-obligation quote for that work. Our commitment is to give you the expert information you need to secure your asset permanently.

Roof Repair FAQs

Have questions about roof repairs? We’ve answered some of the most common ones below to help you understand when, why, and how to act when issues arise.

How do I know if my roof needs repairing or replacing?

If the damage is localised, like a small leak, rust patch, or missing fasteners, repairs are often enough. But if issues are widespread or the roof is over 25 years old, a full replacement might be more cost-effective in the long run.

Can you repair metal roofs that are leaking?

Yes. We regularly repair long-run metal roofs that have developed leaks due to corrosion, loose screws, or issues with flashing. We’ll inspect the roof, locate the source, and fix it with materials that match your existing system.

Does insurance cover roof repairs?

It depends on your policy and the cause of the damage. Storm-related damage is often covered, while wear and tear usually isn’t. We recommend contacting your insurer before work begins. We're happy to assist with documentation if needed.

How quickly can you respond to an urgent roof repair in Auckland or Wellington?

We prioritise urgent repair requests, especially if water is entering your home. In most cases, we can respond within 24–48 hours and provide a temporary or permanent solution depending on the severity of the issue.

What are the most common causes of roof leaks in New Zealand homes?

The most common causes of roof leaks in New Zealand are deteriorated flashings, rust around screws and fixings, blocked or overflowing gutters, slipped or lifted sheets, and failed sealant around penetrations like skylights and chimneys. In high wind and heavy rain, leaks can also develop along ridge or valley flashings if they’re not sealed correctly. Because water often travels before showing up inside, a professional inspection is the quickest way to pinpoint the real source.

Can I repair a roof leak myself, or should I call a professional?

Simple jobs like clearing blocked gutters or tightening a loose screw might be manageable if you’re confident on a ladder. However, most roof leaks are more complex than they appear; water often enters in one spot and appears somewhere completely different inside. Working at height also carries safety risks, and in New Zealand, strict regulations apply for anyone on a roof. For a safe, lasting repair, it’s usually best to call a licensed roofing professional.

What happens if I ignore a leaking roof?

Even a small roof leak can cause big problems if left alone. Water can soak into insulation, damage ceilings and wall linings, and create conditions for mould growth. Over time, leaks can weaken structural timbers and make repairs far more expensive than if the issue were dealt with early. In New Zealand’s wet climate, it pays to act quick

Can a roof leak be fixed without replacing the whole roof?

Yes, in many cases, a leaking roof can be repaired without a full replacement. Localised leaks caused by rust spots, loose screws, or faulty flashings are often fixed with targeted repairs. However, if leaks are widespread or the roof is nearing the end of its lifespan, a full replacement may be the more cost-effective and long-term solution. A professional inspection will confirm the best option for your home.
