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.
Valleys and Box Gutters That Overflow
Newlands gets very high winter rainfall. In a heavy downpour, valleys and box gutters carry more water than they were sized for, and any blockage sends it into the roof space.
- Box gutters. Hidden behind parapets, they overflow inwards. Keep outlets clear and check the waterproofing lining.
- Valleys. Leaves and moss narrow the channel. Rusted or cracked valley flashing should be replaced, not patched.
- Downpipes. Undersized or blocked downpipes back water up. Ask whether a larger outlet or extra downpipe would help.
- Wind-driven rain. Cold fronts push water under ridges and flashings, so check these too.
Moss, Lichen and Roof Cleaning
- Why it builds up. Shade, trees and long wet spells keep roofs damp, especially south-facing slopes.
- Cleaning. Expect about R20 to R35 per m² for cleaning, and R25 to R40 per m² with moss and lichen treatment. Steep roofs cost more.
- Gentle methods. High pressure can damage old tiles and wash away surface coatings. Ask about low-pressure cleaning and biocide.
- Sealing or painting. Cleaning and sealing is about R30 to R60 per m². Painting with primer and two coats is R80 to R150 per m².
- Timing. Clean and treat in summer, so coatings cure before the winter rain.

How much do roof repairs cost in Newlands?
A minor leak is roughly R850 to R2,800, valley repairs R250 to R400 per metre and moss treatment R25 to R40 per m². A two-person crew costs about R1,800 to R4,200 per day.
How often should a Newlands roof be cleaned?
Every one to three years, depending on shade and trees. Gutters and valleys need clearing at least twice a year.
Will cleaning my roof stop the moss coming back?
Not on its own. A biocide treatment and sealing slow regrowth, and trimming overhanging branches lets the roof dry faster.
Why does my box gutter leak only in heavy rain?
It usually overflows when the outlet is blocked or too small for the downpour. Clear it and ask a roofer to check the size and lining.
