Value-for-money roofing solutions Kelly Deeks Queenstown Roofing offers value-for-money solutions for residential, commercial, and agricultural roofing requirements. The company is a specialist provider of Colorsteel® long run roofing solutions around the Central Otago area, as a manufacturer, installer, and supplier to other roofing contractors. It also provides cladding, fencing, and comprehensive rainwater solutions, on a supply or supply and install basis. Queenstown Roofing is currently working with housing group clients to provide roofs, spouting, and fascia for about 40 new homes at Shotover Country. The company prides itself on the importance it places on establishing personal relationships between its experienced and dedicated team and its customers, to ensure the company continues to be accessible, receptive to new ideas, and works to form strong, long-term relationships. Queenstown Roofing has its own Alpine spouting and fascia machines, purchased about 18 months ago to improve efficiencies and eliminate wait times for other providers to install spouting and fascia, as these need to be placed before the roof can be put on. Queenstown Roofing took over a second workshop on Glenda Drive and took on four new staff to run the machines and install spouting and fascia. About five years ago, Queentown Roofing developed its leading-edge Alpine tray range of roofing and cladding systems, which have become the preferred choice for many architectural projects in high end subdivisions in the Central Lakes District. The company runs a mobile Alpine tray machine, imported five years ago from the USA, to roll form Alpine tray roofs on site. “This is where
Queenstown Roofing roll forms corrugate and 5-rib iron roofs, bends flashings and also offers downpipes and other spouting profiles. we have an advantage over companies that cart roofing already formed,” says Queenstown Roofing managing director Brad Rule. “With our mobile machine, there is no cartage or stacking of roofing, so no damage.” Alpine tray is a variable width tray roofing and cladding system, roll formed in single length trays and hidden fixed to solid substrate.
It has been a popular choice in Central Otago in recent years, with design covenants in many local residential developments requiring a tray roofing profile to create a continuity of roofscape by limiting the range of materials used. Jack’s Point design covenants also require a recessive colour and low reflectivity on the roof, which Queenstown Roofing sources straight from
New Zealand Steel’s Waiuku factory, pre-painted with a high-grade, low sheen paint. From its base in Frankton, Queenstown Roofing roll forms corrugate and 5-rib iron roofs, bends flashings, and fabricates rainwater heads and chimney caps all to customers’ requirements. The company also offers downpipes and other spouting profiles.
CHOOSING THE PERFECT ROOF JUST GOT EASIER
The roof on a home is like the icing on a cake – the finishing touch that completes the perfect project; the attention to detail which ensures nothing detracts from the vision you had and the structure you’ve created.
We believe it should be easy to choose the ideal roof. That’s why we’ve refined our colour range, developing a new palette featuring our most popular tones; timeless colours, designed specifically for New Zealanders and the landscape that surrounds us.
