What we check

Before we book a roofer, we look them up on the LBP public register and check their licence is current.

What roofing costs in NZ

Published NZ prices, so you know roughly what to expect. Every job is different, so your roofer quotes after looking at it. We check that quote against figures like these.

Before you say yes

Good questions to ask your roofer, and the warning signs to walk away from.

Questions to ask

  • Are you or your site supervisor a Licensed Building Practitioner for roofing, and what is the licence number?
  • Is a building consent needed, and who applies for it?
  • What does the price include: removal of the old roof, flashings, gutters and rubbish?
  • What happens if you find rotten timber once the old roof is off, and how is that charged?
  • What warranty do I get on the workmanship, and on the roofing material?

Red flags

  • They can't show you a Licensed Building Practitioner licence you can check on the public register.
  • They knock on your door saying they were doing a job next door and have leftover materials.
  • A quote with no breakdown, or a price that is far below the others.
  • They ask for most of the money up front.
  • For a job of $30,000 or more including GST, they won't put the contract in writing.
