A well-installed tile roof can last for decades, but time, weather, and underlying damage can take their toll. Here are common signs that your tile roof may be due for replacement:
Damaged tiles expose the underlayment and roof structure to the elements, leading to leaks and further deterioration.
Water stains on ceilings or walls, especially after rain, suggest underlay failure or flashing issues — both indicators of deeper roofing problems.
Tile roofs are heavy. Over time, the weight can cause stress on the framing, especially if moisture damage has weakened the timber below.
Moisture trapped beneath tiles or failing underlay can create the perfect environment for rot, mold, or corrosion in roof components.
Roof valleys are where two roof slopes meet, and they handle a large volume of rainwater. Over time, the metal flashing in these areas can corrode, become blocked by debris, or shift out of place — especially under aging tiles. Leaking valleys are a common cause of water ingress
Frequent patch jobs or escalating maintenance bills can be a sign that a full replacement is more economical in the long run.

Swapping out your old concrete tile roof for a long run metal roof offers several advantages:
Lightweight: Long run roofing is significantly lighter, reducing strain on your roof structure.
Durability: Made from high-grade steel or aluminum, long run panels resist rust, rot, and extreme weather.
Low Maintenance: No more cracked or slipping tiles — long run roofs require minimal upkeep.
Modern Look: Clean lines and a range of colours give your home a sleek, updated appearance.
Fast Installation: Fewer components and faster fastening mean less disruption to your home life.

Replacing a concrete tile roof is a complex process — and at Quality Roof Coatings, we believe our customers deserve to understand what goes into every step. Here’s how we handle your roof replacement from start to finish:
We start with a thorough inspection to assess the condition of your existing roof and underlying structures. This helps us develop a clear scope of work and identify any hidden issues before we begin.
Before any work begins, we set up the site to ensure safety and efficiency. Waste bins are delivered and positioned for effective debris removal, edge protection such as scaffolding or guard rails is installed to maintain a safe working environment, and safety and project signage is placed around the site.
The existing roof tiles are carefully removed, and any reusable materials are set aside for recycling or reinstallation, depending on your preferences.
Once the old tiles are removed, we conduct a thorough inspection of the roof’s timber structure. This includes checking for signs of rot, termite damage, or structural weakness. Any compromised timber is either repaired or replaced, and additional strengthening is carried out if needed.
Next, we apply a high-quality synthetic underlay paper across the entire roof surface. This advanced waterproof barrier provides a critical layer of protection beneath the tiles, shielding your home from moisture, wind-driven rain, and condensation.
If your home or building still has an asbestos roof, replacing it isn’t just a smart upgrade — it’s a health and safety priority. At QRC, we specialize in safe, certified asbestos roof removal and replacement throughout Auckland.
