The Rangiora station was closed last week after concerns were raised during a recent refurbishment.
Canterbury rural area prevention manager Detective Senior Sergeant Greg Cottam said there was no risk to the public, but the work would take longer than first thought.
It was initially hoped the work would be completed within a week, but it was now expected to take six to eight weeks to finish.
Frontline officers were still working 24 hours a day as normal, he said.
"We would like to thank the public for their patience during this temporary closure."
Anyone who needs to visit police in person can visit the Kaiapoi station.
Alternatively, the public can call 105 or go online for non-emergency situations.

Local Government New Zealand is urging people to post their voting papers on Vote Day – Saturday 5 October 2019.

All voting papers must be returned to the relevant council by midday on Saturday 12 October, and voters need to factor in the time it will take the papers to get through the postal system.
New Zealand Post advises that the Standard Post delivery target is up to 3 working days for nationwide delivery, while delivery to and from rural areas may take longer. However, these targets are guides only, and are not guaranteed – delivery may take longer.
Visit www.nzpost.co.nz... to find your nearest post box or office. To get more information on your local candidates, visit policylocal.nz and local council websites for both information and meet the candidate schedules.
“Some of the main reasons people give for not voting are they forgot, ran out of time or were too busy,” says LGNZ Chief Executive Malcolm Alexander.
“So to make sure people give themselves the best chance to have their say we are encouraging people to vote early on what we’ve dubbed Vote Day. Fill out your papers during the week and then to pop them in the paid envelope and into the nearest post box on Saturday 5 October.”
“Voting papers have to arrive at council offices by midday Saturday 12 October, so sending them in on Vote Day gives them plenty of time to get through the postal system.”
Mr Alexander says it is important New Zealanders participate in the selection of the people who will make decisions that affect most people’s lives on a daily basis.
“Local government shapes the place that you live. It’s the pavements you walk on, the roads where you drive, the water you drink, shower in and swim in, your parks, libraries and swimming pools where you take the kids,” Mr Alexander says.
“There’s been a lot of robust public conversation around climate change, the housing crisis, the quality of our water and our transport options, and now is the time to turn that conversation into a vote that influences your local leadership.”
“Voters can still post their papers after 5 October, but there is no harm in doing it earlier,” Mr Alexander says.
Eligible voters who didn’t enrol before 16 August won’t receive their papers in the mail, but can make a special vote by visiting their local council offices, or by contacting their Council Electoral Officer.
What: ‘Vote Day’
When: Saturday 5 October 2019
Why: Make sure you have your say by voting early

Department of Conservation endangered species ambassador Nicola Toki spoke to students about the need to be environmental heroes, as well as what climate change means for New Zealand's native species.
Students spent time creating posters, using recycled cardboard, paper and paints and went on to protest outside the school gate.
Principal Stephen Beck said he was very supportive of the efforts of students from across the country in confronting the apathetic attitudes many adults have towards the overwhelming evidence and impact of climate change.
The school is beginning to take its own steps to address the issue. It has started the process of installing solar panels as it hopes to transition away from its dependence on coal boiler heating.
