Storm damage & insurance

Gale peeled your ridge back at 2am? We make it safe first and argue about paperwork later. Photo documentation in the format your insurer actually wants.

Storm damage help
Home with a freshly coated pale steel roof
$3,500–$7,500 incl GST

Roof painting

If the steel’s sound but the coating’s chalky, a repaint buys your roof another 10–15 years for a fraction of re-roofing money. We’ll tell you honestly which side of that line you’re on.

Paint or replace?
Weatherboard home with long clean spouting runs along the eaves
$2,800–$5,500 incl GST

Spouting & downpipes

Continuous spouting, run on-site to fit your house, usually installed the same week as your roof so the whole water path is under one guarantee.

The Aegis difference

Why people pick us over the cheapest quote

  • The quote is the bill

    Itemised in writing, GST included, and it’s the number on your final invoice. Any variable — like rotten purlins at $18 a metre — is printed on your contract before we start. No surprise line at the end.

  • Our crews have been with us for years

    Sione’s crew has run our re-roofs since 2016. We don’t flick your job to whoever’s cheapest that week — and we’re LBP, RANZ, and Site Safe registered, all three checkable.

  • We clean up like we were never there

    Swarf swept off before it can rust-stain, then two magnet sweeps of the lawn and drive for stray screws and offcuts. If your kid or your tyre finds one we missed, ring us.

  • An honest answer costs you nothing

    The roof check is free, the photos are yours to keep, and about a third end with “she’s right for a few more years.” Take our quote to the competition if you like; we’ll still be here when the numbers don’t add up.

Certified, accredited & backed by

The bit that matters

Nobody on your roof works on commission.

Our inspectors are on salary. They’ve got no reason to tell you a good roof is a shot one, and about a third of our roof checks end with “she’s right for a few more years.”

No pitch, no pressure. If your roof’s fine, we’ll say so and be on our way.

What your neighbours say

Two companies told us the whole roof needed replacing. Aegis got up there, took photos, and said a repaint and two new valleys would see it right for years. Saved us about twenty grand, and guess who’s doing the re-roof when it’s actually due.

5 out of 5 starsDenise R.Cashmere — roof check, then repaint

Old concrete tiles off, new COLORSTEEL on, three days, and I couldn’t find a single screw in the lawn afterwards. The quote and the invoice matched to the dollar.

5 out of 5 starsMark T.Rolleston — tile-to-steel re-roof

They fixed a leak two other outfits quoted a full re-roof for. $740. That was three winters ago and it’s still dry.

Canterbury roofs we’ve done recently

Where we work

Christchurch and everywhere within about 45 minutes of it

Rolleston, Lincoln, Prebbleton, Rangiora, Kaiapoi, Woodend, Pegasus, Lyttelton, Governors Bay, and the hill suburbs. The radius is deliberate: it’s the distance at which we can still make your roof safe the same day you ring.

Straight answers

Questions we answer every week

What does a re-roof cost in Christchurch?
Most single-storey homes in long-run steel land between $20,000 and $38,000 including GST. The spread is mostly roof size, pitch, and whether we’re converting from tiles. Anyone quoting a firm price over the phone without seeing the roof is guessing, including us.
Do you charge for roof checks or quotes?
No. Roof check, photos, and an itemised quote are free. About a third of our checks end with us recommending you do nothing yet.
Do I need building consent to re-roof?
Usually no. Like-for-like re-roofing is exempt under Schedule 1 of the Building Act, and going from heavy tiles to lightweight steel is generally exempt too. We sort the council side when it applies, and you get the answer in writing at quote stage.
Are you actually licensed?
Roofing is restricted building work, so it legally requires a Licensed Building Practitioner supervising or doing it. We’ll give you our LBP number before you sign and you can check it on the public register in about a minute.
