Why Choose Professional Roof Painters
Why Christchurch Homeowners Trust David Robertson Decorators for their Roof Painting Work
Have you ever tried assessing — let alone painting — your own roof? It's not a weekend project, and it's not one to get wrong. Between working safely at height, identifying which repairs need doing before a single coat goes on, and choosing a coating that can handle Canterbury's weather year-round, roof painting is one job best left to people who do it properly, every time.
Professional roof painters bring the right safety systems, the right products, and years of technique to every project. At David Robertson Decorators, our team has been painting Christchurch homes since 1991 — from character villas in Riccarton, to homes out toward Westmorland and West Melton, to homeowners preparing a property for sale, or families who've just moved into a newly bought home and want it looking its best from the street. We're Site Safe certified, so height and access are handled properly, not improvised.
Beyond the quality of the work itself, hiring David Robertson Decorators means your roof gets treated as the structural investment it is, not just a cosmetic job. We take care around your property, clean up after ourselves every day, and communicate clearly throughout the project.
Punctuality
We arrive on schedule and finish on time. Your project timeline is a commitment, not a suggestion.
Premium Products
As a Dulux Accredited business, we use premium Dulux products on every project — with Resene available too if that's your preference.
Attention to Detail
Meticulous preparation, uniform coverage, and a flawless finish on every roof we paint.
Written Guarantee
Every roof painting project is backed by the Master Painters NZ 5-Year Guarantee, covering surface preparation and coating applied to the AS/NZS 2311 standard. If anything isn't right, we make it right.
Our Interior Painting Process
Our 6 - Step Interior Process for David Robertson Decorators for Christchurch Homes
Every roof painting project we complete in Christchurch follows the same proven process — from Site Safe-certified access right through to a finish backed by Dulux Roof & Trim's 15-year guarantee. It's not about refreshing your roof's look for a season; done properly, roof painting protects the structure underneath it for years to come, which is exactly why we never cut corners on preparation, no matter how good the finish looks on day one.
Assessment & Colour Consultation
We inspect the full roof, checking for rust, damaged or cracked tiles, loose fixings, and moss or lichen build-up, then talk through colour and finish options. As a Dulux Accredited business, we're happy to work with Resene too if that's your preference. Once you've chosen a colour, we'll ask for your signature on the estimate to confirm it before scheduling.
Protecting Your Property
Before any work begins, we protect gutters, downpipes, landscaping, and any outdoor areas below the work zone from overspray and debris.
Washing & Treatment
We wash the full roof to remove dirt, moss, lichen, and chalking coating, treating any problem areas so new paint has a clean, sound surface to bond to.
Repairers & Priming
Any rusted fixings, cracked tiles, or damaged areas are repaired before painting. If we find anything unexpected once we're up there, we'll always discuss it with you first, since it may involve costs outside the original quote. Repaired and bare areas are then primed with the correct undercoat for your roof type.
Expert Application
We apply Dulux Roof & Trim™, formulated to handle Canterbury's UV exposure, wind, and rain — backed by Dulux's own 15-year guarantee against peeling, flaking, and blistering.
Final Walkthrough & Sign-Off
Once complete, we walk you through the finished roof and don't consider the job done until you're completely satisfied.
