Corrugated Iron on Older Houses
Many older Green Point houses still have corrugated iron roofs over timber, often with decorative trim. Salt air and age are the main problems.
- Rust at laps and nail holes. Rust starts where sheets overlap and around old fixings. Leak sealing runs about R1,500 - R3,000; rust treatment and recoating about R3,000 - R10,000.
- Repaint or replace. If the sheeting is still sound, painting at R80 - R150 per m² extends its life. Holed sheets need replacing.
- Heritage caution. Parts of Green Point may fall in a heritage overlay zone, and houses older than 60 years need a Heritage Western Cape permit before alterations. Check with the City before changing the roof profile or material.
- Timber and fascias. Old fascias and battens rot where gutters overflow. Check them when sheeting comes off.
Roof Terraces on Modern Apartments
- Terraces over living space. Tiled roof terraces leak when the membrane underneath fails at drains, door thresholds and upstands.
- Torch-on or liquid. Torch-on runs about R250 - R500 per m²; liquid membranes R150 - R350 per m² and suit areas with many details.
- Tiles on top. If the terrace is tiled, the tiles may need lifting to repair the waterproofing properly, which adds to the cost.
- Body corporate first. In sectional title buildings, check whether the terrace is common property or exclusive use before arranging repairs.

How much does it cost to fix a corrugated iron roof in Green Point?
Leak sealing is about R1,500 to R3,000, rust treatment and recoating R3,000 to R10,000, and a two-person crew about R1,800 to R4,200 per day.
Can I replace my old corrugated iron with IBR?
Possibly, but a different profile may need approval on older or heritage-zoned houses. Check with the City of Cape Town first.
Why is my roof terrace leaking into the room below?
Usually the membrane under the tiles has failed at a drain, door or upstand. A leak detection visit confirms where before the terrace is opened up.
How often should a corrugated roof be painted near the sea?
Inspect it every summer and touch up rust spots early. Repaint when the coating is chalky or rust is spreading, before it holes the sheets.
