At Kings Roofing, we specialise in meeting the roofing needs of Wadestown—a character-filled Wellington suburb of around 3,500–4,000 residents, located at -41.2680, 174.7630.

Homes here face frequent wind, rain, and moisture conditions that lead to common issues such as roof leaks, moss growth, blocked gutters, and wind damage. Many roofs require careful restoration to maintain their historic character and comply with preservation rules.

Whether you need heritage roof repairs, modern re-roofing, or regular roof maintenance, we offer expert solutions tailored for Wadestown’s unique homes and weather.

Wadestown’s picturesque hillside homes and ever-changing Wellington weather pose some unique roofing challenges. From wind-lifted shingles to chronic moisture problems, our team at Kings Roofing has seen—and solved—it all. Here are the most common roofing issues we help homeowners in Wadestown overcome:
Perched high above Wellington city, Wadestown is no stranger to fierce winds that can loosen, crack, or tear away shingles and tiles. Many local homes have older roofs that struggle to stand up to the blustery conditions. Once wind gets under a shingle, it leaves your home exposed to further water damage and even pest entry. We specialise in identifying vulnerable areas and professionally securing or replacing compromised roofing materials to keep your home protected.
Wadestown’s sloping sections and mature trees mean gutters and downpipes can easily become blocked with leaves and debris. Overflowing gutters and poor roof drainage are a leading cause of leaks, especially during autumn and winter. Left unchecked, this leads to interior water stains, mould growth, and damage to your home’s framing. Our team at Kings Roofing quickly pinpoints drainage issues, clears blockages, and improves water flow to stop leaks in their tracks.
Wadestown’s proximity to Wellington Harbour means metal roofing is at risk of developing rust and corrosion from salty sea breezes. Over time, even high-quality steel or tin roofs can suffer from pitting and surface damage, especially if protective coatings wear thin. These weak spots can quickly turn into leaks or unsightly staining. Our team can treat affected areas, applies rust-inhibiting primers, and can recommend specialised paint systems to extend the lifespan of your metal roof.
The combination of steep Wadestown sections and Wellington’s seismic activity can sometimes cause minor ground shifts or movement in older homes. This puts stress on roof framing, leading to visible sagging or uneven gutters. Not only does this spoil your home’s appearance, but it can also compromise water runoff and increase the risk of leaks. Our experienced team assesses structural issues and reinforces weakened areas to restore both function and curb appeal.
If your home in Wadestown is experiencing any of these problems, reach out to Kings Roofing today for reliable solutions and peace of mind.

Our experienced roofing team proudly serves Wadestown and the greater Wellington region, providing expert services from emergency leak repairs to full roof replacements and detailed inspections. Our deep knowledge of Wadestown’s unique weather and hillside homes allows us to deliver durable, high-quality results. We also cover nearby suburbs, including:
Costs for roofing work in Wadestown generally start at about $350 for minor leak repairs and can range upward of $7,500–$14,000+ for full roof replacements, depending on roof size, access, and material choices. Heritage homes often require period-appropriate materials and extra care, which can add 10–25% to standard pricing, while wind-damaged roofs or homes with complex rooflines (a common feature locally) may also increase costs. For emergency repairs after a storm, expect a call-out fee between $150 and $400, plus any materials and labour.
At Kings Roofing, we provide full roof repairs, replacements, and emergency call-outs, with all pricing transparent and quoted upfront to keep things clear. We’ll provide a bespoke, no-obligation estimate tailored to your home’s specific needs.
Yes, Wadestown features many properties with heritage value, so roofers must often use specific materials (like corrugated iron, slate, or shingles) to comply with Wellington City Council preservation guidelines. These homes frequently require council consent before any roofing work can begin, especially on pre-1940s or listed properties, ensuring all restoration meets strict heritage standards. Using modern roofing techniques or inappropriate materials can damage the historical integrity of these buildings and potentially violate council regulations, leading to costly rework or fines.
Our team is experienced in navigating these restoration protocols to protect your home’s heritage while delivering durable, compliant roofing solutions. If you own a heritage property, it’s essential to consult with roofing professionals familiar with these requirements to ensure your roof is restored correctly and preserves your home’s unique character.
For Wadestown’s windy, wet climate, modern long-run metal roofing is very popular because of its durability, weather resistance, and longevity. It typically costs between $110 and $170 per square metre fully installed. Corrugated iron, Colorsteel, and membrane roofing are often chosen for both new builds and heritage homes.
For period properties, we can source heritage-grade corrugated iron or slate, which usually costs between $180 and $350 per square metre depending on the material and heritage requirements. Tile roofs are less common since wind can lift them, but it is possible to install specialty roofing tiles with secure fastenings if period authenticity is important.
If you’re unsure which option suits your home, we can visit your property for a tailored recommendation and bring material samples for you to compare.
In Wadestown, we recommend a professional roof inspection at least once a year, especially because the suburb is exposed to strong winds, salt air, and heavy rainfall that can speed up wear and tear. Maintenance such as moss removal, gutter cleaning, and small repairs to fasteners or flashings usually costs between $250 and $600 per visit, depending on the roof size and accessibility.
Skipping these yearly checks can allow minor problems like moss buildup or blocked gutters to turn into leaks or serious structural damage that are much more costly to repair. Homes surrounded by trees or with historic roofs might need inspections more often, about every 6 to 9 months, particularly after storms. To protect your home and extend your roof’s life, contact our team at Kings Roofing for reliable maintenance and expert advice.
