Metal roofing is the best-performing roofing system for Auckland’s coastal, high-UV, high-rainfall climate, lasting 40 to 70 years with minimal upkeep. Roofing Dept installs longrun metal roofing including Colorsteel and Unisteel in corrugate, trapezoidal, and standing seam profiles, for both residential and commercial properties. Every job is LBP-led, fixed-price, and backed by warranties.

Why Metal Roofing Suits Auckland
Auckland’s combination of salt air, strong UV, and heavy rain is hard on roofs. Longrun metal handles all three. It is lightweight, sheds water fast, resists corrosion when the right coating is specified, and lasts decades. For coastal suburbs, we recommend higher-grade Colorsteel coatings that stand up to salt exposure.
Types of Metal Roofing We Install

The classic Kiwi profile, now in modern Colorsteel and Unisteel coatings. Reliable, proven, and suits most homes.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a metal roof last?
A quality longrun metal roof lasts 40 to 70 years with minimal maintenance, depending on the coating grade and exposure. Coastal properties benefit from higher-grade coatings.
What is the best metal roofing for Auckland?
Colorsteel longrun is the go-to for most Auckland homes. For coastal suburbs, a higher-grade Colorsteel coating resists salt corrosion. We advise based on your specific location.
Is metal roofing noisy in the rain?
Not when installed correctly with proper underlay. Modern metal roofing with the right underlay is no louder than other roofing systems.
Can you install metal roofing on a commercial building?
Yes. We install longrun and trapezoidal metal roofing on commercial and warehouse buildings as well as homes.
What does metal roofing cost?
Cost depends on roof size, profile, and coating. As part of a reroof, most residential jobs fall between $14,000 and $45,000. We give you a fixed quote after inspecting your roof.
