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.
Wind, Mist and Moss
Hout Bay roofs deal with strong wind and with damp from mountain mist on shaded slopes, so problems differ from one side of a street to the other.
- Wind-lifted tiles. Gusts lift loose tiles and ridge capping. Re-bedding ridges is about R180 - R350 per metre and stops rain getting in under them.
- Moss and lichen. Damp, shaded roofs grow moss that holds water and lifts tiles. Treatment costs about R25 - R40 per m².
- Gutters and valleys. Leaves and moss block gutters and valleys, and water backs up under tiles in winter rain.
- Timber. Constant damp rots fascias and battens. Check them when tiles or gutters are being worked on.
Thatch, Tile and Estate Homes
- Tile roofs on slopes. Steep sites and double-storeys may need scaffolding or extra safety gear, which adds to the price.
- Thatch. Some homes have thatch. Re-thatching is about R450 per m² and brushing about R110 per m²; insurers often ask for a lightning conductor and fire retardant.
- Estate rules. Estates and HOAs may set roof colours and materials, so check the rules before you accept a quote for new tiles or sheeting.
- Plans. The City of Cape Town approves plans. Changing from thatch to tile or sheeting, or altering the roof shape, may need them.

How much do roof repairs cost in Hout Bay?
A minor leak repair is roughly R850 to R2,800 and tiles R25 to R65 each plus a call-out fee. A two-person crew costs about R1,800 to R4,200 per day.
Is moss on my roof a problem?
Yes, on tiles it holds water, blocks gutters and can lift tiles over time. Treating and cleaning it before winter helps the roof shed rain.
Should I clean my gutters before winter?
Yes. Leaves and moss collect over summer, and blocked gutters and valleys are a common cause of winter leaks.
Do estate rules affect my roof repair?
They can. Many estates control roof colour and material, so check with the HOA before replacing tiles or sheeting.
