Re-Roofing Services in Auckland
Salt-laden westerlies, harsh summer UV, and wind-driven rain all take their toll on Auckland roofs. When yours has reached the end of the road, you need a re-roofing specialist who builds for these conditions from day one.
The team at IG Roofing are roofing experts who understand the impact climate and harsh weather can have on building structures. Homeowners and architects alike can trust in our experience and rely on us to provide sustainable, high-quality re-roofing services that will achieve their vision and meet the needs of the job.
Auckland’s Metal Re-Roofing Experts
Roofs don’t last forever. Regular maintenance can extend their lifespan, but all roofs will eventually need to be replaced. If your roof looks worse for wear, is getting old, or is leaking, it is time to consider replacing it.
As an established re-roofing company with decades of experience behind us, IG Roofing can help with all your re-roofing needs. We have installed metal roofs in Europe and NZ for over 30 years.
We generally fabricate roof panels for installation on-site to ensure a precise, neat fit. That means fewer joins, cleaner lines, and flashings made to suit your roof rather than a standard off-the-shelf size.
We have expertise in standing seam roofing and horizontal flat lock cladding in copper, zinc, COLORSTEEL®, stainless steel, and aluminium. IG Roofing provides complete cladding and re-roofing services in Auckland for every property.
Residential Re-Roofing Services
Our residential re-roofing services cover everything from character villas and 1970s brick-and-tile homes to modern architectural builds. A re-roof is also a great chance to change your home’s look. Swapping heavy concrete tiles or tired decramastic for standing seam gives you a lighter, cleaner roof that suits classic and contemporary designs.
With the old roof off, it’s also a good time to top up insulation or replace spouting. A licensed removalist must remove any asbestos before we start.
Commercial Re-Roofing
Our re-roofing services also extend to commercial development and multi-unit buildings. From high-end homes to large-scale commercial sites, our team is experienced in handling projects of all sizes. We’ll plan staging and access upfront to keep disruption low.
Signs You Need a Re-Roof, Not Repairs
You likely need a full re-roof if your roof has consistent leakage, widespread corrosion, or has reached the end of its lifespan. While minor issues can often be patched, a complete replacement is usually the most cost-effective long-term solution to avoid ongoing maintenance. Common signs we see on Auckland roofs include:
- Leaks that keep coming back after being repaired
- Red rust spreading across sheets, especially around fixings, laps and gutters
- Decramastic tiles shedding their stone chip and exposing bare metal
- Cracked, slipped, or porous concrete tiles
- Loose or corroded fixings that rattle or lift in strong winds
Not sure? We’ll inspect your roof and let you know whether repairs will buy you more time.
Our Re-Roofing Process
Here’s what to expect when you book re-roofing specialist services with IG Roofing.
1. Site Inspection & Quote
We check your roof, framing, pitch, flashings, and access, then provide a clear written quote.
2. Building Consent Check
Like-for-like re-roofing with a comparable material generally doesn’t need consent under Schedule 1 of the Building Act 2004. Changing the profile, gauge, or weight might, so we’ll confirm where your project stands first.
3. Scaffolding & Edge Protection
We install safety systems first to protect our team, your family, and your property while we work at height.
4. Strip & Inspect
We strip the old roofing, netting, and staples, then check the purlins, battens, and rafters, and replace any rotten timber.
5. New Underlay
Fresh underlay goes down throughout, because there’s no point laying a roof built to last decades over tired building paper. On aluminium roofs, we use self-supporting underlay or synthetic strapping instead of wire netting.
6. Fabrication & Installation
We fabricate panels on-site to the exact length of your roof, so there are no end laps for water to find its way through.
7. Flashings, Cleanup, & Sign-Off
We fit new flashings, clean up the site, and inspect your finished roof before we hand it over.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you provide re-roofing services on Auckland’s North Shore?
Yes, we provide expert re-roofing services across Auckland’s North Shore and the wider Auckland region. Based on the North Shore, we are perfectly positioned to handle local residential and commercial projects efficiently and with care.
What’s the difference between re-roofing and roof replacement—is it the same thing?
Re-roofing and roof replacement are essentially the same process: removing an old, failing roof and installing a brand-new one. While the terms are often used interchangeably, both involve a complete overhaul to guarantee your property is fully protected from the elements.
What types of metal roofing do you install for roof replacements?
We install a wide range of premium metal roofing, including standing seam, aluminium, zinc, and copper. To ensure a perfect fit, we fabricate panels on-site to suit your building’s specific architectural requirements. Our expertise also extends to stainless steel and horizontal flat lock cladding for more specialised projects.
Do I need building consent for re-roofing in Auckland?
Usually not for like-for-like replacements. Changing the roof type, profile, gauge, or weight may need consent, so we’ll confirm this during your quote.
How much does re-roofing cost in Auckland?
How much re-roofing costs in Auckland depends on your roof’s size, pitch, access, and condition, plus your chosen material. Standing seam, zinc, and copper cost more upfront than standard long-run steel, but zinc and copper can last well beyond a standard steel roof.
As a specialist re-roofing company, we’ll inspect your roof and give you a detailed quote before any work begins.
How long does a re-roof take?
It depends on the roof size, material, and the weather. A straightforward home can take a week or two, while larger architectural roofs take longer. Every re-roofing service we quote comes with a realistic timeframe, and we plan the work so your home stays weathertight throughout.
