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.
Salt Air, Wind and Thatch
- Corrosion. Salt air attacks IBR sheeting, screws, flashings and gutters. Ask for coastal-grade coated steel or aluminium and stainless fixings.
- Wind. Strong wind lifts loose tiles, ridge capping and poorly fixed sheets. Have fixings checked before winter storms.
- Thatch. Brushing is about R110 per m² and a re-thatch about R450 per m². Insurers often ask for a lightning conductor and fire retardant.
- Plans. New roofs, extensions and thatch conversions may need plans approved by Overstrand Municipality.
Holiday Homes and Absent Owners
- Inspections with photos. Ask for a written report with photos of each problem so you can approve work from a distance.
- Before the season. Book inspections and gutter cleaning in the dry summer months so winter leaks do not go unnoticed for weeks.
- Access. Arrange keys, alarm codes or a caretaker in advance, and say who will let the contractor in.
- Payment. Agree on stage payments against photos of completed work rather than paying the full amount upfront.

Travel and Coverage
Contractors are independent and decide which jobs to take. Give the street address, who can provide access, and whether you can be on site, and ask whether the inspection fee is deducted if you go ahead.

Get Roofing QuotesRoof Repairs Hermanus FAQs
How much do roof repairs cost in Hermanus?
Minor leak repairs are roughly R850 to R2,800 and a detailed inspection with photos R1,000 to R1,800. A two-person crew costs about R1,800 to R4,200 per day.
Can I get my holiday home roof repaired without being there?
Yes. Ask for a photo report first, approve the quote in writing, and agree on photos of the finished work before final payment.
Why do my screws and gutters rust so quickly?
Salt air speeds up corrosion. Coastal-grade coated steel or aluminium with stainless fixings lasts longer near the sea.
What does a thatch roof need near the coast?
Regular brushing, a check of the ridge and fixings after wind, and the lightning conductor and fire retardant your insurer asks for.
