By Central Roofing
In 2020, we began work to supply the materials and labour to roof the villas and village centre at the new Summerset at Pohutukawa Place in Bell Block retirement village.
The project which has spanned three years, includes roofing over 40 blocks, with a mix of two, three and four villas per block and also the village centre.
For the villas we used Gerard Steel Tiles in Stratos profile, in a selection of colours; Windsor Grey, Ironsand and Sandstone Grey. 150 ‘Old Gothic’ Coloursteel Maxx spouting and downpipes were also used on the villas to match the roof colour.
For the village centre we used Coloursteel Styleline 0.55 profile in Ironsand along with sections of Viking Enviroclad Membrane Roofing in Grey. The village centre had 175 box gutter in Ironsand along with Ironsand downpipes.
A Gerard roof is made up of individual steel panels tightly locked together to form a single structural unit. This innovative design creates a high strength to weight ratio, making Gerard roofs safe and secure against almost anything nature serves up. It is suitable for moderate climatic conditions and has an extremely durable paint system that resists UV damage and provides excellent colour retention along with being aesthetically pleasing.
In 2008 a couple of guys from Taranaki decided to start a Roofing business and thus Central Roofing Company was born.
Starting off with a few people on wages, who we are happy to say are still with us and getting in Fiona to handle the books, we started out just doing Re-Roofs. Not too long after, we took over the Gerard distributorship for Gerard Tiles and got to work with some local builders to provide Tiles for new Roofs.
In 2012 the regulations changed, and it was made compulsory to include Scaffold when Roofing, so we decided to have our own Scaffold department to supply and install Scaffold on our jobs.
With steady growth throughout the years and recently, in 2018 we moved into our new premises at 9 Craig Place, Waiwhakaiho, New Plymouth.
Today at Central Roofing Company we stand for quality and service within the Roofing industry. Working with our trusted partners to provide you with the best option, designed to suit your style and budget from Scaffold to finish.
