Taranaki Roofing
LOCAL, EXPERIENCED,
ON THE TOOLS
Specialist leak repairs, gutter clearing and small roof repairs. Thirty-five years hands-on experience on New Zealand roofs — honest work, fair price, no job too small.
Specialist repairs and maintenance. Not a full-roof company — just someone who actually knows what they're doing with the small stuff that matters.
A leak left alone turns into a big, expensive problem fast. Whether it's cracked flashing, a lifted iron sheet, a failed ridge cap or a dodgy valley — I track down the source and fix it properly. No band-aids, no guessing.
Blocked gutters cause more damage than most homeowners realise — overflows, fascia rot, foundation issues. Regular clearing keeps water moving where it should. Quick job, massive difference, especially heading into winter.
Missing screws, lifted sheets, failed ridging, storm damage, loose flashings — all the small stuff that adds up into a big problem if ignored. Fixed right the first time, at a price that actually makes sense for the job.
Not sure what's going on up there? I'll get up, take a good look, and give you a straight answer. No upselling. If it's fine, I'll tell you. If it needs attention, I'll tell you that too — and what it'll cost before any work starts.
The best repair is the one you never need. A yearly check-up catches small issues before they become emergency callouts. Ideal for rentals, older homes, post-storm checks, or just peace of mind heading into a Taranaki winter.
Where the roof meets a wall, chimney, or skylight is where water finds its way in. Reflashing and resealing done with the right products for New Zealand conditions — built to handle whatever Taranaki weather throws at it.
Dawse Tamati has been working on roofs for over 35 years. He knows every type of NZ roofing system, every common failure point, and exactly what it takes to fix things properly the first time.
Before roofing, Dawse was a professional rugby player — which tells you something about his character. Disciplined, hard-working, a team player, and someone who shows up. He brings that same attitude to every job, whether it's a single leaky screw or a complex flashing repair.
When he's not on a roof, you'll likely find him in the surf. He's an avid surfer who genuinely loves living in Taranaki — and genuinely loves helping local homeowners keep their houses watertight and well-maintained.
He specialises in repairs and maintenance only — no full re-roofs, no commercial projects. Just focused, expert work on the small jobs that most big roofing companies aren't interested in.
Based in New Plymouth, covering the wider Taranaki region. If you're not sure whether you're in our area, just give us a call — we're flexible and happy to discuss.
Why homeowners across Taranaki keep coming back.
There's not much Dawse hasn't seen on a NZ roof. That experience means faster diagnosis, fewer surprises, and repairs that actually hold.
You get the truth before any work starts. If your roof only needs a $50 fix, that's what we'll tell you. No inflated scopes, no unnecessary work.
Shows up when he says he will, does the job properly, and leaves your place tidy. Old-school values — still the best kind.
Taranaki born and raised. Dawse's not flying in from out of town. He's your neighbour, and he takes that seriously.
