Required by law for roof work above 3 metres in Porirua
WorkSafe NZ requires fall protection for any roof work above 3m — this includes reroofing, roof painting, solar installation, gutter replacement, and chimney work. Every Erect It job comes with a handover certificate so your contractor can start work legally and safely.
Edge Protection Porirua — When You Need It
Often faster and more cost-effective than full scaffolding for Porirua roof perimeter jobs.
Reroofing — Porirua
Required by law for any roof work above 3m. Porirua's older housing stock — particularly in Titahi Bay, Tawa, and the city centre — has a high reroof turnover. We coordinate with your roofer and issue a handover cert before any trades go up.
Roof Painting — Porirua
WorkSafe NZ requires fall protection for all roof painting. For many Porirua homes, edge protection is more cost-effective than full perimeter scaffolding. We work around your painter's schedule.
Solar Installation — Porirua
Solar installers need multi-day compliant roof access. Edge protection provides a continuous perimeter guardrail throughout installation across all Porirua suburbs including Whitby, Papakowhai, and Cambourne.
Gutter & Fascia Work — Porirua
Gutter replacements and fascia repairs require safe access at the roof edge. Our systems protect your trades without blocking the overhang — critical on Porirua's tight-section coastal properties.
Steep-Pitch Roofs — Whitby & Aotea
Many Porirua hillside properties in Whitby, Aotea, and Ranui Heights have steep-pitch roofs. Our edge protection systems handle these safely — call Dhillon for an assessment.
Chimney & Skylight Work
Any roof-level work — chimney repointing, skylight installation, ridge capping — requires fall protection. We install edge protection for short-duration jobs as well as extended projects.

Edge Protection in Porirua — What's Included
Edge protection is a guardrail system that runs along the eaves and edges of your roof to prevent falls. It's a legal requirement under WorkSafe NZ for most roof work above 3 metres — and Erect It's systems meet all current New Zealand standards.
Erect It is based in Plimmerton — five minutes from Porirua city. That means fast response times, no travel surcharge, and a team that understands Porirua's terrain: coastal properties in Titahi Bay and Paremata, hillside sections in Whitby and Aotea, and the older housing stock around the city centre and Tawa.

- Available as standalone edge protection or add-on to full scaffolding
