Prices JUST UPDATED. Indicative ballpark figures in rand, rounded, based on typical South African market rates. They are not our prices or quotations, and no contractor is bound by them. Ask whether VAT is included, and check what each quotation covers, such as scaffolding, rubble removal and call-out fees.
Ridge Capping, Valleys and Re-pointing
On older tile roofs the tiles themselves often outlast the mortar and valleys around them.
- Cracked ridge mortar. Once mortar cracks, wind-driven winter rain gets under the ridge. Re-pointing or re-bedding is a common fix.
- Rusted valleys. Old galvanised valley flashings rust through and leak where two roof slopes meet. Replacement is priced per metre.
- Wall abutments. Flashings against walls and chimneys crack and pull away. Ask for these to be checked with the ridges.
- Solar panels. Panel brackets fixed through tiles can crack them or leave gaps if not sealed properly.
Painting a Tile Roof
Painting refreshes faded concrete tiles, but only works on a sound roof.
- Repairs first. Broken tiles, ridge mortar and valleys should be fixed before any paint goes on.
- Cleaning. Moss and lichen must be treated and pressure-cleaned off, or the coating will lift.
- Dry weather. Book painting in the dry summer months so coats can cure between rain and dew.
- Compare like for like. Check that each quote states the primer, number of coats and the product used.

How much do roof repairs cost in Bothasig?
Re-bedding ridge capping is roughly R180 to R350 per metre and valley repairs about R250 to R400 per metre. A minor leak repair is about R850 to R2,800.
Is re-pointing enough, or does the ridge need re-bedding?
If only the surface mortar is cracked, re-pointing may do. If ridge tiles are loose or the bedding has crumbled, they need to be lifted and re-bedded.
How much does it cost to paint a tile roof?
About R80 to R150 per m² including pressure cleaning, primer and two coats, so roughly R12,000 to R22,500 for a 150 m² roof.
When is the right time for roof work here?
In the dry summer months. Winter rain shows where the leaks are, but repairs and painting go better in dry weather.
