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.
Older Homes and Heritage Approval
Some Ferndale houses are older than 60 years. Under the National Heritage Resources Act, alterations to buildings of that age need heritage approval first.
- Like-for-like repairs. Replacing broken tiles or flashing with matching materials is ordinary maintenance. Ask your contractor if you are unsure.
- Changing the roof. Swapping tiles for sheeting or altering the roof shape on an older house may need heritage approval and plans through the City of Johannesburg.
- Matching tiles. Old tile profiles can be hard to find. Ask whether the roofer can source matching or second-hand tiles.
- Hidden timber damage. Long-term leaks rot battens and trusses. Ask for photos from inside the roof space with the quote.
Subdivided Stands and Cluster Homes
Many large Ferndale stands have been subdivided into clusters and small complexes with different roof types.
- Flat roof sections. Modern cluster homes often have flat concrete roofs behind parapets. Ponding water and cracked membranes are the usual causes of leaks.
- Mixed roofs. A sheeted extension joined to an older tiled roof needs sound flashing where the two meet.
- Body corporate rules. In a complex, confirm who maintains the roof before work starts.
