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 Homes and Thatch
Many Paarl homes have older tile or corrugated iron roofs. Some older streets may have heritage controls, and buildings older than 60 years need a Heritage Western Cape permit before alterations.
- Before changes. Check with Drakenstein Municipality before changing the roof covering, shape or colour on an older home.
- Old timber. Ask the contractor to check battens and trusses before quoting a re-roof, since rot adds R350 - R900 per m².
- Farm thatch. Re-thatch is about R450 per m² and brushing about R110 per m². Insurers often want a lightning conductor and fire retardant.
- Winter leaks. Cold fronts drive rain under worn ridge capping and valleys, so book repairs in the dry months.
Keeping a Hot Roof Cooler
- Insulation. Ceiling insulation is one of the simplest ways to cut summer heat in the rooms below. Supply and install starts from about R140 per m².
- Reflective paint. A light, heat-reflective roof coating can lower roof temperature. Painting with cleaning and primer is R80 - R150 per m².
- Heat and sheeting. Expansion and contraction loosens screws on IBR and corrugated roofs over time, so ask for fixings to be checked.
- Plans. New roof structures, extensions and conversions may need plans approved by Drakenstein Municipality.
How It Works in Paarl

Travel and Coverage
Each contractor decides which jobs to take. Farms and smallholdings may carry a travel fee, so include the street or farm name and ask whether the inspection fee is deducted if you go ahead.
