Colonial Build is an Auckland-based company specialising in timber rot repair and restoration for character homes.

We work with villas, bungalows and Art Deco properties, carefully repairing damaged timber while preserving the original features and integrity of each home.

New Zealand’s weather can be tough on older homes, and timber decay is a common issue affecting external joinery, fascias and cladding. If not addressed properly, these problems can lead to more serious structural damage.

Our skilled carpenters restore affected areas by removing decay and rebuilding timber elements on site. Using advanced epoxy systems, we bond new timber to the original structure — ensuring a seamless finish that looks like new.

Where possible, we prioritise repair over replacement. This approach is not only more cost-effective, but also helps retain the character of your home while reducing material waste.

We work with trusted systems such as Repair Care, delivering long-lasting, flexible solutions backed by a 10-year warranty — giving you confidence and peace of mind.
