This one starts with a site visit — not an instant price
Recladding and weathertightness work can't be priced off a form. What it costs depends on what's actually behind the cladding — framing condition, junction detailing, whether there's a drainage cavity — and none of that is visible until it's opened up. New Zealand's leaky-building history is exactly what happens when this work gets priced confidently sight-unseen. We start with a moisture survey and a structured weathertightness risk check, then quote from what we find.
- Book an inspection: moisture survey plus the six-factor E2/AS1-based weathertightness risk check (wind zone, storeys, junctions, eaves, envelope complexity, deck design).
- A risk-matrix score over 20 puts the building outside the Acceptable Solution — specific weathertightness design (a designer/engineer) is required before pricing.
- Recladding is rarely consent-exempt: Sched 1 cl 1 excludes substantial replacement and cladding that failed within its durability period.
Fill in your details below and we’ll be in touch to book the visit — no obligation, and you’ll get a properly scoped quote afterwards.
Optional: the 2-minute weathertightness risk check
This is what we’ll be checking on site — the same six factors MBIE’s E2/AS1 risk matrix scores. Fill it in if you like and we’ll arrive already knowing your building’s risk shape.
- — Total 0/28 (Low risk). Under MBIE's matrix the score also determines whether a drained cavity is mandatory and which claddings are permitted — confirmed at design, not here.
- — Wall faces only — the matrix does not cover roofs. Scores here are banded within MBIE's published factor ranges, not a transcription of the matrix tables.
This is an informational risk triage based on the six factors MBIE's E2/AS1 risk matrix uses. It is not the risk matrix itself, not an E2/AS1 compliance assessment, and not a substitute for professional advice — a designer or engineer makes the real call, and any score over 20 means specific weathertightness design is required before work is priced or planned.
Live estimate
No instant price for this one — honestly, anyone who gives you an instant number for this kind of work is guessing.
We’ll assess it on site and quote from what’s actually there. The site assessment is charged hourly at $95.00/hr + GST.
