Huston Cross is an established roofing company based in Woolston, Christchurch, serving homeowners and businesses across Canterbury and the West Coast. Owned and operated by local experts Jeremy Huston and Bevan Cross, the company specialises in residential and light commercial roofing, re-roofing, roof repairs, concrete roof tile conversions, and steel or iron wall cladding.
Huston Cross also owns and operates partner company Clearwater Spouting Ltd, allowing it to offer a complete roofing and guttering solution — including continuous spouting and pre-run profiles and flashings manufactured at its own Woolston factory. The company works with trusted material suppliers including Metalcraft and Stratco, and uses products such as Colorsteel long-run roofing.
With more than four decades of combined team experience, Huston Cross has built a reputation across areas including Riccarton, Fendalton, Cashmere, Sumner, Christchurch Central, Linwood, and West Coast towns such as Greymouth and Hokitika. The company holds Licensed Building Practitioner status, Sitewise Gold accreditation, and RANZ membership, and much of its work comes from referrals and repeat customers.
Huston Cross is a Christchurch-based roofing company serving homeowners and businesses across Canterbury and the West Coast. Founded and run by local experts Jeremy Huston and Bevan Cross, the company positions itself as a genuine one-stop shop for roofing and guttering, backed by decades of hands-on industry experience.
What sets Huston Cross apart is its ownership of partner company Clearwater Spouting Ltd, which lets the business offer a fully integrated roofing and guttering service rather than handing gutters off to a separate contractor. The company runs continuous spouting and manufactures its own pre-run profiles and flashings at its factory premises in Woolston, while also working alongside all major roll-formers in Christchurch to supply virtually any spouting profile a project needs.
Huston Cross covers the full range of roofing work for residential and light commercial properties. That includes new roof installations and full replacements using materials like Colorsteel, regular maintenance to extend roof lifespan, and repairs for issues such as leaks, rusty iron roofs, damaged flashings, and gutter or spouting problems. For roofs that need more than a patch-up, the company offers comprehensive re-roofing, removing old roofing material and replacing it with new long-run iron and metal roofing.
One notable specialty is concrete roof tile conversion. Many older Christchurch homes carry heavy concrete or terracotta tile roofs, a source of concern for homeowners since the Canterbury earthquakes of 2011. Huston Cross converts these to modern, lightweight Colorsteel long-run metal roofing, reducing the weight on the home while improving protection against leaks and weather damage. For tile repairs and replacements themselves, the company partners with trusted contractors on a referral basis.
Beyond roofing, Huston Cross installs steel and iron wall cladding, designed to protect a property from the elements while adding a modern look, whether for full building cladding or a feature wall.
The company sources pre-run profiles and flashings from trusted suppliers including Metalcraft and Stratco, and its team holds Licensed Building Practitioner status alongside Sitewise Gold accreditation and RANZ (Roofing Association of New Zealand) membership — credentials that reflect both trade competency and workplace safety standards.
Huston Cross has served a wide range of Canterbury and West Coast communities, including Riccarton, Fendalton, Cashmere, Sumner, Christchurch Central and Linwood, as well as Greymouth and Hokitika on the West Coast. The company says much of its business comes from referrals and repeat customers, and testimonials describe the team as solutions-focused, communicative, and easy to work with — from small repair jobs through to full commercial re-roofs.
A key part of Huston Cross's pitch is direct access to its owners. Jeremy and Bevan take a hands-on approach on every project, maintaining close communication with clients and contractors throughout. Clients deal directly with the owners rather than layers of account management, which the company says leads to more transparent, accountable service from quote through to completion.
Huston Cross offers a free consultation for prospective clients, whether the job is a small repair, a full re-roof, a tile conversion, or new cladding. The company can be reached by phone or email, or via a contact form on its website, and is based at 73 Garlands Road, Woolston, Christchurch, open Monday to Friday.
