Roof Painting Churton Park Wellington

Churton Park is a different roof painting story from most of Wellington. Flat terrain, sheltered from the worst of the wind, and a suburb built largely in the 2000s means concrete tile and Coloursteel are the norm here. These materials have their own requirements — and getting them wrong is easy if you're used to working on older roofs. We do this work every week and know exactly what these roofs need to stay in top shape.

Why Choose Our Roof Painting

Concrete Tile Expertise

Concrete tiles are porous. Over time they absorb moisture, the surface coating breaks down, and moss and lichen take hold in the texture. Painting them isn't simply a wash and roll — the tiles need to be clean, dry, and properly primed before topcoat goes on. We use a penetrating sealer on concrete tiles before painting, which fills the surface and dramatically extends the life of the topcoat. Done right, a painted concrete tile roof in Churton Park will look sharp for twelve to fifteen years.

Coloursteel Done Properly

Coloursteel from the 2000s is reaching the age where the factory coating starts to chalk and fade. The good news is it's easy to access, takes paint well, and there's no rust to deal with if you catch it at this stage. We clean, degrease, and apply a compatible primer before topcoating — matching or refreshing the original colour if that's what you want, or going in a different direction if you're after a change.

Registered Master Painters

As Registered Master Painters, our work comes with a professional guarantee. You're not just getting someone to roll paint on your roof — you're getting a documented process, quality materials, and accountability if anything isn't right. That matters when you're investing several thousand dollars in your biggest asset.

Our Roof Painting Process

We run the same thorough process on every Churton Park roof. First, a condition check — we assess the tile or sheet condition, look for cracked tiles, lifted flashings, and any areas of water ingress risk. Second, a full high-pressure wash. Third, a biocide treatment to kill moss, lichen, and algae. Fourth, a suitable primer for the roof type — penetrating sealer for concrete tile, adhesion primer for Coloursteel. Fifth, two coats of quality roof paint. On concrete tiles we can use a texture coat as the first coat, which restores the original profile and improves durability. We use products from Dulux, Resene, and Wattyl that are formulated for New Zealand roofing conditions.

Cost Guide

Roof painting costs depend on size and surface condition. Concrete tile roofs typically cost more than metal roofs of the same size due to the additional primer and texture coat work. As a guide: small roofs up to 80m² range from $3,500 to $6,000. Medium roofs from 80–150m² run $6,000 to $10,000. Larger roofs above 150m² are generally $10,000 to $18,000. Churton Park homes tend to be generous in size, so many properties sit in the medium-to-large bracket. We provide fixed-price written quotes — what we quote is what you pay.

FAQs

How long does a painted concrete tile roof last?

With proper preparation and a quality paint system, you can expect twelve to fifteen years before repainting is needed. Cutting corners on prep reduces this significantly — which is why we don't.

Can you change the colour of my Coloursteel roof?

Yes. We can match the existing colour or go to a completely different colour. We'll provide colour swatches and can advise on what works well on your style of home.

My tiles aren't cracked but the paint is peeling. What's happened?

Peeling on concrete tiles almost always comes down to insufficient preparation or the wrong primer. We fix this properly — strip back what's loose, treat the surface, and apply the right primer before recoating.

How long will the job take?

Most Churton Park roofs take two to three days. Concrete tiles take a day longer than metal because the primer needs time to cure before topcoat goes on.
