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.
Thatch Roofs: Upkeep and Insurance
Thatch is common on Constantia homes and outbuildings. It lasts well with care, but the wet winters and shade from trees speed up decay.
- Brushing and dressing. About R110 per m². It tightens the surface and helps water run off.
- Re-thatching. About R450 per m² where the thatch has thinned or rotted.
- Fire and lightning. Insurers often ask for a lightning conductor and a fire retardant treatment. Check your policy before you renew.
- Converting. Some owners replace thatch with tiles or sheeting. This needs truss changes, new ceilings and insulation, and approved plans from the City of Cape Town.
Slate, Clay Tiles and Big Trees
- Slate and clay tiles. Both last a long time, but broken pieces need matching. Ask for salvaged or matching stock before work starts.
- Oak and tree debris. Leaves, acorns and branches block gutters and valleys, and overhanging limbs scrape tiles in wind. Ask about trimming before the roofer starts.
- Moss on shaded slopes. Wet, south-facing roofs grow moss and lichen. Use gentle cleaning on old slate and clay.
- Large roofs. Big, steep or multi-level roofs may need scaffolding, which adds to the price.
