Restoration vs. Replacement
For a commercial landlord or business owner, a failing roof is a financial nightmare. Full re-roofing disrupts operations and requires massive Capital Expenditure (CapEx). There is a smarter way.
Restoration is often classified as "Repairs & Maintenance" (OpEx), offering potential tax advantages. By treating the rust and applying a high-build industrial membrane, we can restore the watertight integrity of your roof for approximately 30–40% of the cost of replacement, with zero disruption to the tenants below.

Metal Roof Restoration (Rust Encapsulation)
The Issue: Tauranga’s salt air causes rapid corrosion on long-run iron and tray roofs, especially around fixings and laps.
The Fix: Prep: High-pressure industrial wash and salt neutralization. Repair: Replace rusted fixings and treat surface rust with industrial converters. Encapsulate: Apply a 3-coat heavy-duty membrane system that seals the laps and creates a seamless barrier against the environment.
"Cool Roof" Technology (Heat Reflection)
The Issue: Metal roofs absorb massive heat, baking the staff and stock inside and driving up air-conditioning costs.
The Fix: We apply Infra-Red Heat Reflective Coatings. These specialized paints reflect the sun's energy before it is absorbed by the substrate.
The ROI: This can drop the roof surface temperature by up to 20°C and significantly reduce your summer cooling bills.
Flat Roof Waterproofing
The Issue: Pooling water on concrete or bitumen flat roofs leads to inevitable leaks.
The Fix: We apply liquid-applied membranes (like polyurethane or silicone systems) that form a rubber-like, joint-free seal. These systems are designed to withstand ponding water and thermal movement.

-
No Downtime: We access the roof externally. Your tenants can continue working while we stop the leaks above them.
-
Safety First: We install full edge protection (handrails) or utilize harness systems to ensure total compliance with WorkSafe regulations.

Commercial Roof Coating FAQs
We perform a detailed adhesion and gauge test. If the steel has rusted through structurally, we will tell you to replace it. If it’s surface corrosion (which is 90% of cases), we can restore it.
Yes. The membrane system seals the "laps" (where the sheets join) and the screw heads, which are the two most common entry points for water.
