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.
Homes, Flats and Commercial Roofs
- Older houses. Pitched roofs with clay tiles or corrugated iron. Cracked ridge mortar and tired flashings are the usual winter leak points.
- Blocks of flats. Flat concrete roofs with parapets and box gutters. Torch-on membranes need checking at laps and upstands every year or two.
- Shops and offices. Sheeting and flat roofs with plant, signage and air-conditioning units. Each penetration needs proper flashing.
- Working on busy buildings. For retail and office roofs, ask how the contractor will handle access, safety and work outside trading hours.
Heritage Caution and Leaf-Filled Gutters
Parts of Claremont may fall in a heritage overlay zone, and buildings older than 60 years need a permit from Heritage Western Cape before alterations. Check with the City of Cape Town before changing the roof covering or profile.
- Like-for-like repairs. Replacing broken tiles or sheets with matching material is usually simpler than changing the roof.
- Gutters and downpipes. Street and garden trees drop leaves that block gutters and downpipes, so water overflows into walls and ceilings. Clean before the winter rain.
- Solar on older roofs. Have the roof checked before panels go on, and ask for sealed brackets.
How It Works in Claremont
- Request. Give your suburb, the type of roof and what needs doing. Photos help.

Travel and Coverage
Contractors are independent and decide whether to take each job. Mention whether it is a house, a flat roof on a block or a commercial building, and note any parking or access limits, as this affects the quote.

Get Roofing QuotesRoof Repairs Claremont FAQs
How much do roof repairs cost in Claremont?
A minor leak is roughly R850 to R2,800, and a small flat roof section R2,000 to R5,000. A two-person crew costs about R1,800 to R4,200 per day.
Who arranges repairs on a block of flats?
The body corporate or managing agent usually appoints the roofer for the common roof. Owners should report leaks to them in writing.
Do I need heritage approval to repair my roof?
Small like-for-like repairs often do not, but changing the roof on a building older than 60 years needs a Heritage Western Cape permit. Check with the City first.
Can commercial roof work be done outside trading hours?
Many contractors can plan around trading hours. Say so in your request so the quote allows for it.
