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.
Large Tile Roofs on the Coast
Big roofs with many hips, valleys and ridges have more places to fail, and salt air speeds up wear on metal parts.
- Ridges and hips. Long runs of ridge capping crack and lift in the wind. Check after strong south-easters.
- Valleys and flashings. Ask for aluminium or coastal-grade valleys and flashings when replacing rusted ones.
- Double-storeys. Higher roofs may need scaffolding or extra safety equipment, which adds to the price.
- Thatch. Some homes have thatch or thatch sections. Ask for a specialist thatcher, and check your insurer's lightning conductor and fire retardant requirements.
Sand, Wind and Gutters
- Sand build-up. Wind blows sand into gutters, valleys and downpipes, where it holds water and salt against the metal.
- Overflow. Blocked gutters spill onto fascias and walls in winter rain. Clear them before May.
- Downpipes. Fit leaf and sand guards and flush downpipes when cleaning.
- Maintenance plan. An annual inspection with a gutter clean catches lifted tiles and rust before they leak.

How much do roof repairs cost in Melkbosstrand?
Replacing tiles costs about R25 to R65 per tile plus a call-out fee, and ridge capping R180 to R350 per metre. A two-person crew is roughly R1,800 to R4,200 per day.
How often should gutters be cleaned near the beach?
At least once a year before winter, and more often if sand builds up. Cleaning costs about R30 to R80 per metre.
Can a general roofer repair my thatch?
Thatch needs a specialist thatcher. Many roofers handle tile and sheeting only, so say in your request that the roof is thatch.
What should I check after a strong south-easter?
Look for lifted ridge tiles, slipped tiles and loose flashings from the ground, and book a repair before the next rain.
