Lincoln roofs: the 1862 grid and the new subdivisions

Lincoln splits neatly into two kinds of roof. The original grid township, laid out in 1862 between North, East, South and West belts, holds bungalows and family homes that may still have iron or tile roofs from early in their life. Repairs there are about age: rusted laps and fixings on iron, cracked tiles and loose ridges on tile, and old flashings around chimneys and wall junctions. Some of those older houses have had extensions in different decades, and the junctions between roofs of different ages are a common place for water to get in. We check them closely.

The large new subdivisions around the town are mostly longrun steel or concrete tile, and the faults are newer-house faults: penetration seals around flues and vents, flashings where extensions or garages join the house, and occasional rust spots from metal swarf left on steel. These are usually quick repairs if they are caught before water has damaged the linings. Gutter outlets on newer homes can also block with building debris.

Lincoln's open plains setting means frost is common in the cooler months, and cold steel roofs can form condensation underneath. The nor'wester tests ridging and spouting fixings, and after a strong one we check those first. Consents for anything beyond a like for like repair go through Selwyn District Council. Shaded roof faces also stay damp after a frost, which suits moss and lichen on older tile.

Local tip: In Lincoln's older grid streets, ask for the chimney and wall flashings to be checked along with any leak, since those are the parts of an older roof most likely to have failed.

Roof Repairs in Lincoln: Local Conditions

Rolleston, Lincoln, Rangiora and Pegasus have many homes built in the last two decades, where repairs are usually wind damage, flashing faults or penetrations that were sealed badly at build time. Selwyn District Council and Waimakariri District Council are the consent authorities if a repair grows into bigger work.

On newer homes, leaks usually trace back to flashings, penetrations or roof-to-wall junctions rather than worn roofing, and we check those first.

Homes in Lincoln

Older homes in Lincoln's original grid include bungalows and family houses that may still have iron or tile roofs from early in their life, and these are candidates for painting, repairs or a re-roof. The large new subdivisions are mostly recent builds with longrun steel or concrete tile, where the work is spouting, flashing checks and roofing for extensions.
