Roofing Dept provides reroofing, repairs, new builds, guttering, and membrane roofing across the Wellington region, delivered by a local Wellington crew. Wellington’s exposure to extreme wind makes correct fixing, flashing, and wind-rated systems critical, and it is exactly what we build for. Every job is overseen by a Licensed Building Practitioner, quoted at a fixed price, and backed by our 10-year workmanship warranty.
Roofing Built for Wellington’s Wind
Wellington is one of the windiest cities in the world, and wind is the number one enemy of a roof here. High winds create uplift that can lift poorly fixed sheets, tear off ridge cappings, and work flashings loose over time. A roof that would be fine in a sheltered inland town needs more here: correct fixing patterns, wind-rated detailing, and materials specified for high-wind zones.
This is where getting the install right matters most. Roofing Dept builds Wellington roofs to handle the conditions, with the fixing density and detailing the wind demands. It is the difference between a roof that lasts and one that fails in the first big southerly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you service the whole Wellington region?
Yes. Roofing Dept covers Wellington City, Lower Hutt, Upper Hutt, Porirua, and the Kāpiti Coast, for both residential and commercial properties, with a local Wellington crew.
What roofing is best for Wellington's wind?
Wellington’s high winds demand correct fixing patterns, wind-rated detailing, and materials specified for high-wind zones. Longrun metal, properly fixed, performs well. The key is the quality of the installation, which is where Roofing Dept focuses.
Why do Wellington roofs fail more often?
Wellington’s extreme wind creates uplift that lifts poorly fixed sheets, tears cappings, and works flashings loose. Roofs that were not installed to handle high-wind conditions fail earlier here than almost anywhere in New Zealand.
How much does reroofing cost in Wellington?
Most residential reroofs fall between $14,000 and $45,000 depending on roof size, pitch, access, and material. Wellington’s wind exposure and hillside access can affect the figure. Roofing Dept provides a fixed written quote after a free inspection.
Do you offer a warranty in Wellington?
Yes. The same as everywhere we work: a 10-year workmanship warranty, plus manufacturer material warranties of up to 30+ years.
