Fighting Rust & Humidity
Te Puke’s environment is unique. The shelter belts and orchards create high humidity, leading to rapid mould growth. Meanwhile, older iron roofs on farmhouses are fighting a constant battle against rust. At Tomar Contracting, we understand rural property maintenance. We don't just paint for looks; we paint to stop corrosion and extend the life of your buildings. We use heavy-duty anti-corrosive primers and mould-resistant acrylics that stand up to the country conditions.
Fast response. Local teams.
Specialized Services for Te Puke
Iron Roof Restoration (The #1 Priority)
Context: Te Puke is "Iron Roof Country."
The Service: We save rusted roofs. Our process involves treating the rust with a converter, replacing lead-head nails with weather-tight screws, and applying a thick membrane.
The Benefit: It’s significantly cheaper than re-roofing and adds 10–15 years to the lifespan of your shed or home.
Farm Sheds, Barns & Packhouses
Context: Large surface areas that need cost-effective protection.
The Service: Airless Spray Painting. We can coat large corrugated iron structures in a fraction of the time it takes to brush/roll.
The Benefit: Fast turnaround means less disruption to your farming or orchard operations. We use "Utility" grade coatings that are tough and cost-effective.
Older Farmhouses (Villas & Bungalows)
Context: Te Puke has a wealth of beautiful older timber homes.
The Service: Lead Paint Management. Many of these homes still have old lead paint. We are trained to safely strip and contain lead, protecting your family and your soil from contamination.
Fast response. Local teams.
