Hoon Hay sits at the base of the Port Hills about 5 kilometres south-west of Cathedral Square, and mixes suburban streets with a semi-rural edge bordered by farmland and the Hoon Hay valley. Captain Wickham Talbot Harvey named it in 1852 after the farm in Hoon, Derbyshire, where he grew up.
The Cashmere Stream flows down the valley and through the suburb, and newer developments have spread onto the adjacent Port Hills. Valley residents were evacuated during the 2017 Port Hills fires. We start with a free on-site measure and an itemised written quote.

Hoon Hay Homes and Their Roofs
Hoon Hay's established streets have family homes that may be ready for roof painting, tile repairs or a re-roof, while the newer developments on the Port Hills have recent steel or tile roofs that mostly need maintenance. Semi-rural properties can add sheds and outbuildings with their own roofing and spouting needs.
What Hoon Hay Conditions Mean for Your Roof
Frost forms readily on Hoon Hay's flat ground on calm nights, which brings condensation under steel roofs. Homes on the Port Hills slopes need access planned for steep sections, and wind exposure there is set for each site from the consent plans. Leaves and dry debris in spouting are worth clearing regularly near the hills.
Roofers Hoon Hay FAQs
Do you work on sheds and outbuildings on semi-rural sections?
Yes. We re-roof and repair sheds, garages and outbuildings, including replacing rusted iron and spouting.
Is it harder to re-roof a newer house on the Port Hills?
Access is the main difference. Steep sites can need more scaffolding and edge protection, which we assess during the free measure.
How do we treat moss on our roof?
A roof treatment kills moss and lichen, which then weathers off over the following months. Clear spouting helps stop it coming back.
Do you cover Hoon Hay valley?
Yes. We cover Hoon Hay, the valley and the surrounding southern suburbs.
