Expert recladding to protect your home’s future

Between 1992 and 2005, New Zealand faced a significant leaky homes crisis, with an estimated 22,000 to 89,000 homes affected by weather-tightness issues.

These homes, often built with monolithic cladding systems and untreated timber, suffered from moisture ingress due to design flaws, poor construction practices, and inadequate building regulations. The resulting structural damage, mould growth, and health risks have left many homeowners burdened with costly repairs. Addressing these issues is essential to restoring the safety, comfort, and value of affected homes while preventing further deterioration.

Why recladding is essential

Many Auckland homes, especially those built between the 1990s and mid-2000s, suffer from inadequate cladding systems prone to leaks. These issues are often exacerbated by the city’s high humidity, frequent rainfall, and wind-driven weather patterns. Over time, water ingress can compromise structural integrity, increase energy costs, and reduce property value.
