The cost of spouting in New Zealand, and in Auckland in particular, can vary greatly based on various factors, including the type of spouting, the size and complexity of your home, and the installation costs.
Types of Spouting and Their Uses
PVC or Vinyl Spouting: This is a popular choice due to its affordability and ease of installation. PVC spouting is also resistant to rust and corrosion, making it a durable option.
Colorsteel or Metal Spouting: This type of spouting is sturdy and can withstand Auckland’s varied weather conditions. Colorsteel spouting comes in a range of colours, allowing homeowners to match it to their exterior decor.
Copper Spouting: Often seen in older Auckland villas, copper spouting is highly durable and develops a unique patina over time. However, it is more expensive than other options.
Aluminium Spouting: Lightweight and rust-resistant, aluminium spouting is a versatile option. It can be customised to fit any roof shape and painted in any colour.
Cost of Spouting
The cost of the spouting itself can range from NZ$15 to NZ$60 per metre, depending on the material. For example, PVC spouting is likely to cost around NZ$15-30 per metre, while high-end copper spouting could cost up to NZ$60 per metre.
Spouting Installation Costs
Installation costs are typically separate and can vary depending on the complexity of the job and the rates charged by the roofing contractor. On average, you can expect to pay between NZ$50 and NZ$90 per hour for a professional spouting installation in Auckland.
Total Cost
For a typical three-bedroom house in Auckland with approximately 100 metres of spouting, the total cost, excluding GST, including installation, can range from NZ$2,000 to NZ$10,000, depending on the type of spouting chosen.
