Assess the cavity
We look at roof size, pitch and existing airflow to work out how many vents you actually need — no over-selling.

Even in Gisborne's cooler climate, a roof cavity with no ventilation traps summer heat and radiates it down into the rooms below on the warmer days, and through the colder months it collects moisture that condenses and can feed mould.

Why Gisborne roof cavities overheat
Even in Gisborne's cooler climate, a roof cavity with no ventilation traps summer heat and radiates it down into the rooms below on the warmer days, and through the colder months it collects moisture that condenses and can feed mould. Whirlybirds vent both. On tile roofs we lift the tile course, cut a clean penetration, bed the flashing watertight and seat the turbine; on Colorbond roofs, common on Gisborne's rural-residential properties, the vent is flashed directly into the sheeting. Correctly sized and placed, a few turbines make a real difference to comfort and roof condition through both seasons.
Gisborne's larger rural-residential rooflines often mean bigger cavities to ventilate than a standard suburban home, so getting the turbine count right for the actual roof area matters more here.

The process
How we install a whirlybird
2
Position for airflow
Vents go high on the roof where the hottest air collects, balanced with the eave intake so air can actually move through.
3
Cut & flash
On a tiled roof we lift the tiles, cut a neat penetration, and bed the flashing so it is fully weatherproof.
4
Seat & seal
The turbine is seated in the flashing collar and the tiles are reinstated over the apron, leaving a clean, leak-free finish.
Roof types in Gisborne
Installation differs by roof: on tiled roofs we cut and flash the penetration under the tile course, while on metal roofs the vent is flashed directly into the sheeting. Both need the flashing done properly — a rushed vent install is a classic future leak.
Our standard
Installations are carried out by an insured team and the workmanship is backed by a 7-Year Workmanship Guarantee and a 10-Year Dulux Acratex Material Warranty.

What Melbourne homeowners say
Gisborne whirlybird installation — your questions
Yes. On Gisborne's Colorbond roofs the vent is flashed directly into the sheeting rather than under tiles. The method differs from a tile install but the result is the same — proper cavity ventilation.
More than a standard suburban home in many cases — we size the number of turbines to the actual roof area and pitch rather than a one-size number.
Not when flashed correctly, which is where cheap installs fail. We take the same care on Gisborne roofs as anywhere else we work.
