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.
Older Roofs and Asbestos-Cement
Ottery has many smaller, older homes, and a good number still have asbestos-cement or early IBR roofs. These often leak at cracked sheets, worn screws and laps when winter cold fronts drive rain in sideways.
- Asbestos-cement sheets. Do not drill, break or pressure-clean them. Removal must be done by a registered asbestos contractor, at about R180 to R520 per m² on top of the new roof.
- IBR roofs. Check for rusted screws, perished washers and rust at sheet laps. Replacing fixings is cheaper than replacing sheets.
- Repair or replace. A few leaks on a sound roof are worth repairing. Brittle, cracked asbestos sheets or rust right through usually mean replacement.
- Ask for options. Get the contractor to price a repair and a replacement side by side so you can plan the budget.
Extensions and Backyard Rooms
Extensions, garages and backyard rooms are common, and the joint where a new roof meets the old house is a frequent leak point.
- Flashings. Where a lean-to roof meets a wall, it needs proper wall flashing, not only sealant. Sealant cracks within a few seasons.
- Low pitch. Very flat IBR roofs on backyard rooms hold water at laps. Ask whether the pitch suits the sheeting profile.
- Building plans. New rooms and roofs generally need plans approved by the City of Cape Town. Ask the contractor whether yours does.
- Ceilings. Fix the leak before patching the ceiling, or the stain comes back with the next front.
How It Works in Ottery
- Request. Give your suburb, the type of roof and what needs doing. Photos help.
- Match. Contractors who take work in Ottery 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
Contractors are independent and decide which jobs they accept. Mention if the roof is asbestos-cement and whether access is through the house or a side lane, since both change who can quote and the price.

How much do roof repairs cost in Ottery?
A minor leak repair is roughly R850 to R2,800 and IBR leak sealing R1,500 to R3,000. A two-person crew costs about R1,800 to R4,200 per day.
Can a roofer just fix my asbestos roof?
Small repairs are sometimes possible without cutting the sheets, but any removal must be done by a registered asbestos contractor. Ask the roofer to say clearly what they will and will not do.
Should I repair or replace an old IBR roof?
Repair when the sheets are sound and only fixings or flashings have failed. Rust through the sheets or repeat leaks across the roof point to replacement at about R450 to R800 per m².
Why does my backyard room leak where it joins the house?
Usually the wall flashing is missing, short or only sealed with silicone. Flashing repairs cost about R300 to R500 per metre.
