Waterproofing Hermanus
Waterproofing in Hermanus has a timing problem the rest of the Cape does not. A great many houses here stand empty through exactly the months when it rains, so a leak that starts in May is often discovered by its owner in December, seven months later.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers, including the ones that talk us out of a bigger job.
What does waterproofing cost in Hermanus?
The work is priced the same way as anywhere: roof type, condition, preparation and access. What tends to make Hermanus jobs more expensive is not our rate, it is that problems here are usually found months after they started, so the quote includes repairing damage that would not exist if the leak had been caught in May. Inspections are free.
Do you charge extra to travel to Hermanus?
Site inspections are free. For the work itself, we will be upfront with you at quote stage about anything distance-related rather than burying it. It is worth asking us to look at everything while we are there rather than making two trips of it.
My house is empty over winter. What should I be doing?
Two things. Have the roof and gutters inspected in late summer, before the first fronts, so anything marginal is fixed while the weather still allows a proper repair. And arrange for someone to walk through after a bad front to check ceilings. Those two habits are the difference between a small repair and a ceiling replacement.
Why do my roof screws and gutters rust so much faster here than at my house in town?
Because salt-laden air is on the building continuously rather than occasionally, and it attacks the small metal components first. Fixings and their washers go years before the sheeting does, and steel gutters rust from the inside where silt holds water against the metal. It is the main reason we check fixings before anything else on a coastal sheeted roof.
Can you deal with my caretaker or letting agent instead of me?
Yes, and we do it regularly. We will arrange access through them, send photographs of what we find and of the finished work, and put the quote in writing so you can decide from wherever you are.
