Help! My roof is leaking and it’s after hours
Facing a roof leak after regular hours can be quite distressing. Unfortunately, performing roof work in the dark is not feasible. In the event of a severe leak, such as due to a storm, it is advisable to seek assistance from your local fire service. However, we are committed to addressing your roofing needs promptly. We prioritise remedial work and aim to initiate it as early as the following day, provided that conditions are favourable.
How much does a roof repaint or recoat cost?
A proper repaint generally takes us between 3 to 5 days. Good preparation is key to a job that will last. We will fix any structural issues first (fasten loose nails, tiles or iron). Then we will remove any loose or flakey paint. Non-paintable areas are masked off and a number of undercoats and topcoats are applied. As you can appreciate, cost depends on a number of factors including size of the roof, prep required, access and paint costs. We can sometimes offer an estimate over the phone as we can measure your roof using Google Earth or Google Maps. Alternatively we can visit your property in person and provide an estimate.
I want the best price for my roof job. Are you good value for money?
Absolutely. We take pride in doing a thorough, professional job which will last you many many years. Sometimes it can be difficult to match a competitor that cuts corners to offer a cheap price however we believe that with our industry knowledge, superior equipment and quality products we can be very competitive.
Should I buy a new roof or repair the existing one?
A new roof is very expensive, and more often or not, unnecessary. The team at Impact Roof Maintenance have one key focus: To provide you with the best possible solution, for the lowest possible investment. That’s not to say we are the cheapest around – we may not be. But where other operators may cut corners in both products and processes (not to mention safety), we pride ourselves on doing an exception job that represents unbeatable value for money.
I have a rural property. Do you service Katikati, Te Puke, and beyond?
From our Tauranga base, we cover the Western Bay of Plenty including Katikati, Aongatete, Omokoroa, Te Puna, Whakamarama, Kaimai, Omanawa, Tauranga, Pyes Pa, Oropi, Ohauiti, Welcome Bay, Mount Maunganui, Papamoa, Te Puke and Paengaroa. In addition to residential roofing issues, we also offer business and commercial roofing cleans, repairs and maintenance.
For the purposes of estimating, we may measure your roof using Google Earth or Google Maps and provide an estimate to you without needing to do a site visit.
Do you provide a roof check and a clean service?
Yes we do. It’s a great idea to get your roof thoroughly checked every two or three years. Little problems can be inexpensively repaired before they turn into larger, more expensive issues. For example lichen, moss and mould if left unchecked, can eat through the top layers of painted iron and concrete tile roofs. A simple cleaning treatment now can save thousands of dollars later on. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
Is roofing dangerous work?
We have an excellent safety record and abide by all OSH guidelines. This includes wearing appropriate harnesses, safe handling of chemicals, and safe access to and from roof tops (including scaffolding where required by law). Our safety and your safety is paramount.
Help! I've got blocked gutters and downpipes!
Guttering is an integral element of all roofs and something we specialise in as well. Blocked or broken guttering can cause major headaches, both above and below. When foliage accumulates in the gutters, seeds can germinate causing unsightly growth as well as attracting pests such as mosquitoes and birds. We offer a full gutter clean service (utilising a commercial gutter vacuum system which allows our operators to work quickly and efficiently around most houses). Our system has a video camera which allows us to view your gutters and ensure we do a great job for you. In addition to the basic and full cleans, we can also fix or replace broken components, or even install a brand new guttering and down-pipe solution. As always, we will provide a competitive quote.
Do you use harsh chemicals on roofs?
We always attempt to use environmentally friendly solutions. If you have any concerns about treatments – for example you collect drinking water from your roof – just let us know and we will talk you through a range of options.
