Roof Waterproofing Cape Town
Roof waterproofing in Cape Town depends on your suburb as much as on your roof. Two identical roofs, one in Bloubergstrand and one in Brackenfell, are exposed to completely different things, and the system that lasts twenty years on one is the wrong choice on the other.

Our Roof Waterproofing Process in Cape Town
The process does not change with the suburb, but the specification does. A roof on the Atlantic seaboard is being asked to survive salt air and wind-driven rain; the same roof in the northern suburbs is mostly fighting summer heat. That is what decides which system goes on it.
- 1Free site inspection.
We get on the roof, identify the roof type, find the actual failure, and check what has been done to it before.
- 2Written quote.
The right system for the surface, with preparation and substrate work priced separately from the waterproofing itself.

Run by a hands-on owner who impressed with his honesty and integrity. After the first rains, he contacted me to enquire about the work.
I received an extremely professional and friendly service. I was provided with expert advice throughout the project, which was completed well within time and under budget.
Excellent, professional, well-priced work. And a completely hassle-free process! 6/5. Thanks Fred!

Roof Waterproofing in Cape Town: Common Questions
Straight answers, including the ones that talk us out of a bigger job.
What does roof waterproofing cost in Cape Town?
Roof type, condition and the amount of preparation needed drive it far more than area does. Location plays a part too, since a coastal sheeted roof needs fixing and lap work that an inland one does not. We quote preparation separately from the waterproofing so you can compare quotes properly.
Does it really matter which suburb I am in?
It changes the specification. A sheeted roof in Table View is fighting salt corrosion at every fixing. The same roof in Brackenfell is fighting heat cycling instead. A flat roof in Newlands is handling considerably more water than one in Milnerton. Same roof types, different right answers.
Why is one quote so much cheaper than another for the same roof?
Usually preparation. Stripping a failed system, correcting falls, removing weak surface material and detailing outlets and upstands are the items that get quietly left out to make a number look better, and they are the items that decide whether it lasts. Ask both quotes what they include.
My roof is tiled and a contractor quoted a full membrane. Is that right?
Almost certainly not. Membranes are engineered for flat, smooth surfaces and are rarely the right answer on a pitched tiled roof, which leaks at specific details. Get a second opinion before you commit, and ours is free.
How long will it last?
That depends on the substrate, the preparation, the drainage and the exposure, which is why we will not quote one number for every roof. What we put in writing is the minimum 2-year workmanship guarantee, with extended and 10-year service guarantees available where we maintain it on an agreed cycle.

Waterproofing the roof is one answer. These are the others we run in Cape Town, each with its own failure pattern.
