Pegasus is a master-planned town beside Woodend, 25 kilometres north of Christchurch in the Waimakariri District, designed for about 1,700 house sites and up to 6,000 people. Earthworks began in 2006, the first titles were issued in January 2008, and by May 2016 more than 950 houses had been completed or were under construction.
With almost every home built since 2008, roofing work in Pegasus is mostly maintenance, spouting and roofing for extensions. Building consents here go through Waimakariri District Council. We start with a free on-site measure and an itemised written quote.
Roofing Services in Pegasus
Every roofing service we offer in Pegasus, and what each one covers:
- Re-Roofing: A full re-roof replaces your old roofing, underlay and flashings with a new COLORSTEEL roof built to today's Building Code.
- Roof Replacement: When repairs no longer make sense, we replace the roof completely and leave you with a roof that is good for decades.
- Tile to Metal Re-Roofing: Swapping heavy concrete tiles for lightweight steel removes weight from the frame and ends the cycle of cracked tiles and leaks.

Pegasus Homes and Their Roofs
Pegasus homes are recent builds, mostly with longrun steel or concrete tile roofs. At this age the work is checking flashings and fixings, keeping spouting clear, washing sheltered areas and roofing extensions or garages to match. Early rust spots from builders' offcuts or metal swarf are worth catching on newer steel roofs.
What Pegasus Conditions Mean for Your Roof
Pegasus is near the coast at Pegasus Bay, so we check the site's corrosion exposure when specifying steel for extensions or replacement flashings. Frost is common across Canterbury in the cooler months, which brings condensation under steel roofs. The nor'wester can lift loose ridging and spouting.
Roofers Pegasus FAQs
Our Pegasus home is new. Does the roof need anything?
A yearly check of flashings, fixings and spouting, plus washing sheltered areas the rain does not reach, keeps a steel roof within its maintenance requirements.
Can you roof an extension or garage to match our house?
Yes. We match the profile and colour where possible, work to the consent plans and provide the roofing documentation for the Code Compliance Certificate.
What causes small rust spots on a new roof?
Often metal swarf or offcuts left after building work. We can clean them off and check whether any coating damage needs treating.
Which council handles consents in Pegasus?
Waimakariri District Council. We confirm whether consent is needed before work starts.
