About Us

Central Roofing Company

In 2008 a couple of guys from Taranaki decided to start a Roofing business and thus Central Roofing Company was born.

Starting off with a few people on wages, who we are happy to say are still with us and getting in Fiona to handle the books, we started out just doing Re-Roofs. Not too long after, we took over the Gerard distributorship for Gerard Tiles and got to work with some local builders to provide Tiles for new Roofs. 

In 2012 the regulations changed, and it was made compulsory to include Scaffold when Roofing, so we decided to have our own Scaffold department to supply and install Scaffold on our jobs.

With steady growth throughout the years and recently, in 2018 we moved into our new premises at 9 Craig Place, Waiwhakaiho, New Plymouth.

In February 2024, Central Fabrication was started as a new division under the Central Roofing umbrella.  Central Fabrication was created to service the roofing industry, cut down wait times and create a one stop shop for our clients to easily access custom made roofing fabrication items.

Today at Central Roofing Company we stand for quality and service within the Roofing industry. Working with our trusted partners to provide you with the best option, designed to suit your style and budget from Scaffold to finish.

 

Duncan Corlett

The Boss

Duncan is the boss man here at Central Roofing and he has been since he helped start the business way back in 2008. A few things have changed since then and he now has a lot more people to look after, all while managing the day to day running of the business. He's a family man, now that he's also got little ones to run around after, he does enjoy the odd game of Rugby, though now it’s on the sidelines as a coach. He is a licensed building practitioner, although we have never seen him use any tools.

Lenny Erickson

Contract Manager - New Builds & Tiles

Lenny is one of our contract managers who looks after new housing and spouting. He is one of the nicest guys you will meet, and I have heard God only lets things grow until they are perfect... well Lenny didn’t take as long as others. But don’t let his stature fool you, he was a volunteer firefighter for 25 years, enjoys the odd fishing trip and spending time with his family. He is used to looking up and enjoys watching those big metal birds in the sky. He is, however, very reliable and knowledgeable, and has been in the building industry for more than three decades, he must like it here because he has spent the last 15 years at Central Roofing.

Phill Marfell

Waterproofing Manager

Phil is our Waterproofing Manager and is an expert working on flat areas using Vikings vast array of products. He is an all-rounder and can also work on pitched roofs. Although Phil is quiet when he speaks, he can go for a 100km pedal on his push bike after work like it’s nothing, and his legs are usually smoother than most of the ladies in the office. You will know that it's Phil on the bike when you see his long dreads flowing in the wind. He is a licensed building practitioner and he has been in the industry for 20 years. We have been lucky to have him at Central Roofing for the last 8 years.

Dave Chesterton

Contract Manager - Commercial

Dave has worked for CRC for the past 12 years on the tools, has plenty of experience under his belt as a foreman for both longrun and tiling teams, re-roofs, commercial and new builds. He has joined the management team and is tasked with our commercial work. Dave is also a Dad and husband, spends his spare time playing football for Inglewood, rollerblading & being a musician (plays instruments, does vocals and writes – oh so much talent!). As the new singing voice in the office, he is putting shame to those of us who think they can sing but obviously can’t (not that it stops us). An all-round good guy and we are super thankful to have him!
