Types of Roofs We Replace and Install

When it comes to choosing the right type of roof for your property, the material matters. At Empire Roofing, we offer a wide range of roofing materials suited to Wellington’s diverse weather conditions and architectural styles. Whether you’re replacing an ageing roof or building a new one, we supply and install only the most durable, high-performing roofing products available.

01 Metal Roofing

Known for its strength and low maintenance, metal roofing is a popular choice for both residential and commercial properties. We specialise in installing steel roofing and long run iron roofing, using premium brands like Colorsteel and Colorcote. These materials offer excellent longevity, weather resistance, and vibrant colour options that withstand Wellington’s strong winds and heavy rain.

02 Concrete Tile Roofs

Concrete tile is a classic and robust option that suits a variety of home styles. It offers great insulation and fire resistance, making it ideal for Wellington homes seeking a blend of function and style. If your concrete tile roof is damaged, we offer full tile replacement with matching or upgraded options.

03 Butynol Membranes

For flat or low-pitched roofs, Butynol provides an excellent waterproofing solution. It’s highly flexible and UV-resistant, making it suitable for modern architectural builds and decks that require reliable moisture protection.

Roof Restoration vs. Roof Replacement: What’s Best for You?

Not every roof needs to be fully replaced. Sometimes, a targeted roof restoration can solve the issue. But in other cases, a full roof replacement is the only way to ensure long-term durability.

Here’s how to decide:

Roof Restoration
Restoration typically includes minor repair services, leak repair, cleaning, repainting, and resealing. It’s ideal if your roof structure is still sound but just needs repairs to extend its life and appearance.
Roof Replacement
If the damage is widespread, structural issues are present, or the roof has reached the end of its lifespan, a complete replacement is the safer choice. We replace old materials, address any hidden damage, and install a brand-new roofing system that ensured the roof is fit for decades of service.

Our roofing specialists will assess your existing roof and provide honest, expert advice on what’s best for your situation. We help you weigh up the costs, risks, and benefits. So whether you need to repair roofs or replace them entirely, the job gets done right the first time.
