Licences and rules to check

Roofing has its own licence class under the Licensed Building Practitioner (LBP) scheme. Check that your roofer holds it on the public LBP register, and ask about their skills maintenance: Roofing licence holders need at least 12 points over two years. Scaffolding has no licence or ticket requirement, but on roof pitches under 25 degrees, edge protection is generally adequate and more cost effective, so ask which one the quote includes.

Season and weather

October is spring, and summer runs from December to February. Winter runs from June to August, when rain and wind make roof work harder, so ask roofers how they plan their days around the weather.

What the quote depends on

Roof area, pitch, access, the old roofing, the new profile and any timber repairs all change the price. Ask each roofer to price these separately, so the quotes compare fairly.

What to put in your request

Say whether you need a repair, a partial re-roof or a full replacement, which roofing material you want and what type of property it is. Give the address in your city and say whether the work is at height. If you are offering a job, state the pay, whether it is employment or contract, the experience needed and whether accommodation is provided.

BlaBlaPrice is free for buyers. Describe the roof in your own words and add a photo if you have one. Roofers registered here reply in the chat with their price and terms, and your contact details stay hidden until you choose to share them. You can also browse construction and finishing works, or create a request to start.

Questions and answers

How much does a new roof cost in New Zealand?

Does my roofer need a licence?

Check that the roofer holds the Roofing licence class as a Licensed Building Practitioner (LBP) on the public LBP register before you sign anything.

Is scaffolding always needed?

Not always. On roof pitches under 25 degrees, edge protection is generally adequate and more cost effective, so ask whether the quote includes scaffolding or edge protection.
