Townhouses and Shared Roofs
Illovo has many townhouse and cluster developments where one roof runs over several units. A leak in one home can start on a neighbour's section.
- Find the source first. Water travels along sheets and valleys, so the stain in your ceiling may not be under the fault. Leak detection is often the first step.
- Check the rules. In sectional title complexes the roof is usually common property. Speak to the trustees or HOA before you appoint anyone.
- Matching finishes. Complexes usually want repairs in the same colour and profile as the rest of the roof.
- Party walls. Flashings where two units meet at different heights are a frequent leak point.
Box Gutters and Concealed Gutters
- Hidden gutters. Newer homes and office buildings often have box gutters behind parapets. When they block or the lining fails, water goes straight into the ceiling or walls.
- Outlets and downpipes. Undersized or blocked outlets overflow in heavy summer storms. Ask for outlets to be checked with the gutter repair.
- Regular cleaning. Leaves and debris collect in box gutters out of sight. An annual inspection and clean costs far less than a ceiling repair.
- Lining. Rusted metal box gutters can be relined or waterproofed rather than replaced completely.
How It Works in Illovo
- Request. Give your suburb, the type of roof and what needs doing. Photos help.
- Match. Contractors who take work in Illovo receive your request, with your permission.
- Inspect. Most contractors look at the roof before giving a firm price.
- Quote. You get written prices and compare scope, materials, warranty and payment terms.
- Repair. You hire one contractor, or nobody. The contractor does the work and deals with you directly.
Travel and Coverage
Say whether the property is a complex and whether you need permission or a gate code for the crew. Some contractors charge a call-out fee to inspect, which may be deducted if you go ahead.

How much do roof repairs cost in Illovo?
A minor leak repair is roughly R850 to R2,800 and a small gutter repair R350 to R800. Leak detection with a minor fix is about R800 to R2,500.
The leak is in my unit but the roof is shared. Who pays?
In most sectional title complexes the roof is common property, so the body corporate arranges and pays for repairs. Check your conduct rules to confirm.
Why does my ceiling leak along a wall?
Box gutters, parapet flashings and the joints between units are common causes. A contractor can test these before opening the ceiling.
Can a rusted box gutter be repaired?
Often yes. Depending on its condition it can be patched, relined or waterproofed. Badly corroded sections need replacing.
