We are a "One Stop Shop" for all your roofing, spouting, waterproofing and scaffolding needs on the Coromandel Peninsula and Hauraki Plains.

Peninsula Roofing was founded in 1996 when Richard and Diane Vetter moved up to Whitianga from Napier as the distributor for AHI Roofing Metal tiles on the Coromandel Peninsula. After travelling around looking at all the towns on the Peninsula, they liked the feel and central location of Whitianga, positioning themselves for the projected growth. 
Since then the company has adapted to meet this growth and we offer a wide range of brands, products and services. 
The scaffolding arm of the business was set up as a ‘sister’ company in 1998, operating from the same depot, to meet the safety compliance need, growing in the building industry.  

July 2023 sees a change of ownership, combining the 2 seperate entities into one company. All staff remain, carrying with them the knowledge and supplier and customer relationships built up over the years. 

2024 sees us established a depot in Kopu, to extend our reach and provide cost savings to customers on the Thames Coast and Hauraki Plains.

At Peninsula Roofing & Scaffolding we pride ourselves on providing as much value to our customers as possible and offer a total service for all your roofing, scaffolding, waterproofing and spouting needs.

Having a wide range of products, coupled with our ability to create custom roofing solutions means that we can successfully meet all your requirements, as a ‘One Stop Shop’ for all your roofing, waterproofing, spouting, and scaffolding needs. In addition to this, our on-going training and experience within the industry gives you peace of mind that your projects are being handled by the best.

With all these years of scaffolding 'hands-on' experience, you can be sure to still see Sean out on the tools working alongside the scaffold teams. 

Outside of work,  Sean is a valued member of Whitianga volunteer fire brigade and is very passionate about photography.  Whenever he can, Sean loves to get out and about in the beautiful Coromandel Peninsula taking photos. We are very fortunate to have Sean with this skill and passion and we often use his photography and drone footage on our website, advertising material and our social media page.

Licensed Building Practitioners (LBPs), Scaffolding, Access & Rigging Inc (SARNZ) and Roofing Association NZ

We are members of both the Roofing Association of New Zealand and Scaffold, Access and Rigging New Zealand. These associations provide ‘peace of mind’ that we have met the high standard of workmanship, training and business criteria required of its members.

We have a large number of Licensed Building Practitioners who are qualified roofers, licensed in most areas of roofing and waterproofing installations.   Our commitment to on-going training has enabled all our roofers to be licensed as qualified practitioners holding NZQA Level 4 National Certificate in Roofing covering the following areas:  

 

Profiled Metal Roofing and/or Wall Cladding

Pressed Steel Roofing

Roof Membrane

Torch-on Roof Membrane

Liquid Membrane Roof 

 

The Licensed Building Practitioner (LBP) scheme was established to recognise competent, skilled building practitioners; which is a key component for the success of many initiatives being investigated as part of the Building Act Review.

It is an offence (with a fine of up to $20,000) for a building practitioner eg – roofer, to carry out Restricted Building work unless they or someone supervising their work is appropriately licensed. The LBP scheme requires licence holders to renew their licence every two (2) years.  Our roofers are required to undertake on-going training and keep up to date with industry changes and regulations. While doing this, they obtain points which they are required to submit when they renew their licence.

With this knowledge, you can be assured that at Peninsula Roofing & Scaffolding we are able to provide you with roofers who are qualified and licensed and up-to-date with the very latest industry products and regulations.
