About Us – Freeman Roofing
Freeman Roofing has been supplying roofing, cladding, and rainwater products across New Zealand since 1956. Founded by Eric Freeman in Nelson, the business has grown from a local roofing manufacturer into a nationwide network of branches supporting residential, commercial, and industrial projects.
Today, we are one of New Zealand’s largest family-owned manufacturers of roof and rainwater products. We combine national supply capability with local knowledge, practical experience, and strong relationships across the construction industry.
Local Knowledge, Nationwide Supply
Our branch network operates across New Zealand. Each branch understands the needs of its local region, including climate, exposure conditions, product availability, and project requirements.
As a result, customers benefit from the capacity of a national network while still working with local teams who understand their area.
Roofing Products Built for New Zealand
We supply metal roofing, wall cladding, rainwater systems, flashings, and related roofing products designed for New Zealand conditions.
Our product range includes roofing profiles, architectural tray systems, rainwater products, clear roofing, skylights, and custom-made flashings manufactured using quality materials such as COLORSTEEL®.
Why Choose Freeman Roofing
We primarily provide material supply. Installation is typically carried out by your chosen roofing contractor.
Our team supports projects with product selection, technical advice, detailing guidance, and branch-based service from enquiry through to supply.
Industry Expertise
With decades of experience in metal roofing and cladding, we understand the practical requirements of New Zealand construction.
We work with homeowners, builders, architects, designers, and contractors to help select roofing systems suited to the building, location, and environment in accordance with recognised industry guidance from the NZ Metal Roofing Manufacturers.
Environmental Responsibility
We recognise the importance of reducing environmental impact across our operations and supply chain.
Our team continues to work with suppliers and branches to support responsible product selection, efficient manufacturing, and durable roofing systems designed for long-term performance.
