Before you hire
Whether you need a leak repaired, a full re-roof or a new roof, roofing work is expensive and hard to fix if done poorly. Ask any roofing contractor for a written warranty on both materials and workmanship, confirm they carry public liability insurance, and request photos of recent comparable jobs before committing.

Toby's Roof & Gutter
↑ 1★ 4.7 75 reviews Top5 Score 155 +45★ 67 4★ 3 3★ 2 1★ 3Toby's Roof & Gutter takes on roof repairs, full re-roofs, spouting and gutter work, including jobs other companies declined to quote on. Repeat clients spanning ten to fifteen years point to something specific: crews dig into the root cause of leaks rather than patching over symptoms, and the office team keeps communication going from booking through to completion.

Before you hire a roofer in Napier and Hastings
Drawn from 177 customer reviews collected for this page. The first answer is what it costs.
What does roofing work typically cost in New Zealand? expand_more
Re-roofing costs run from $80 to $200 per square metre for materials and labour combined. Corrugated Colorsteel steel sits at the lower end, while concrete tiles, clay tiles, and standing seam metal push toward the top.
A standard NZ home with 150 to 200 square metres of roof area will land somewhere between $15,000 and $40,000 all up. Hawke's Bay labour rates tend to be more competitive than Auckland, and several local roofers in this area have drawn praise for coming in under quote or beating competitors on price.
How do I know if a roofer's recommended repairs are actually necessary? expand_more
Ask for a written assessment with dated photographs before you approve anything, and check whether the quote distinguishes between urgent structural repairs and cosmetic or preventive work. One local operator was specifically praised for photographing hidden ceiling damage and sharing those images with the homeowner, which is the standard you should expect.
If a roofer recommends a full re-roof on a house that just has a few leaking screws or cracked flashings, get a second opinion before committing, as targeted repairs are often all that is needed. A legitimate roofer will explain what happens if you do nothing and give you a staged option, not just a single all-or-nothing price.
What should a roofing quote include before I accept it? expand_more
A sound quote names the specific roofing product and grade, not just a generic description, and lists whether underlay, flashings, and fixings are included or priced separately. Disposal of the old roof is a real cost that some quotes leave out entirely, so confirm it is covered before signing.
The quote should also state whether a building consent is required, who applies for it, and who carries that cost, since a full re-roof under the Building Act 2004 requires LBP-supervised work and often needs consent. Payment terms matter too: one reviewer flagged that a 50 percent deposit was required before work started, so make sure the schedule ties payments to progress milestones rather than paying everything upfront.
What are the warning signs of a roofer you shouldn't hire? expand_more
- –A large upfront deposit with no written contract and no clear start date is a serious red flag, as one Hawke's Bay case involved a substantial deposit paid and no work ever completed.
- –Vague quotes that list only a lump sum without specifying materials, disposal, or flashings leave room for unexpected charges later.
- –No response to your initial enquiry is itself a warning sign, several reviewers noted that most roofers they contacted never replied at all.
- –A roofer who dismisses your concerns about damage or finish quality, or claims it is their word against yours without providing photos, is not someone worth rehiring.
- –No mention of LBP registration or building consent on a full re-roof job means the work may not meet legal requirements under the Building Act 2004.
- –Poor site cleanup, including old nails and debris left behind, suggests the same lack of care was applied to the roofing work itself.
What should you ask before hiring a roofer? expand_more
- –Ask whether they hold a current LBP Roofing licence and request their licence number so you can verify it on the MBIE register before signing anything.
- –Ask what happens if additional damage is found once the old roof is off, and confirm they will contact you for approval before doing extra work and charging for it.
- –Confirm whether the price includes removal and disposal of the old roofing material, replacement underlay, and all flashings and fixings.
- –Ask what workmanship warranty they offer and get it in writing, standard NZ practice is a minimum two-year workmanship guarantee separate from the product manufacturer warranty.
- –Ask whether a building consent is required for your specific job and who is responsible for obtaining it, since skipping consent on work that requires it creates problems when you sell the property.
- –Ask for two or three completed local jobs you can inspect or contact, as referrals from neighbours and past clients are the most reliable signal of consistent quality in this market.

How are the top roofers in Napier and Hastings chosen? expand_more
We build this page from Google Maps results for roofers in Napier and Hastings. Each one is scored on its public rating and review record. Businesses outside the area, or whose reviews describe a different line of work, are left out, and a business whose main Google category is a different trade is held back until a person has checked what it does. A business whose website no longer resolves and that has had no Google review for six months is treated as dormant and left off the page until either changes. Every category and city is rechecked on a rolling cycle, about every two to three months. A location with a subscribing business is rechecked every month, and the whole page updates with it. See how we rank for the full method.
