Long-run metal roofing can suit Wellington homes, additions and commercial buildings, but profile, finish, fixing, flashings and drainage need to be considered for the actual roof and address.
Roof pitch, span, shape, support, sheet lengths, wind exposure, coastal environment, penetrations and drainage influence the appropriate specification. Colour and profile matter, but they come after confirming that the proposed system suits the building.
A useful scope identifies the roof areas, material and finish, underlay and support assumptions, fixings, flashings, removal and disposal, access, temporary weather protection, drainage and related work. Where consent or design input may be relevant, that should be identified rather than assumed.
Explore a Wellington tile-to-metal transformation, a light-coloured long-run roof, and a complex re-roof with skylight and detailed flashings.
No product should be assumed suitable without considering pitch, roof geometry, support, exposure and manufacturer requirements.
Often, but the change in roof weight, wind uplift, underlay, support and consent position need to be considered. Read our tile-to-metal planning guide.
