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.
Wind on Exposed Hillside Roofs
Higher, exposed homes take the full force of the summer south-easter and the winter cold fronts. Wind and wind-driven rain cause most of the damage here.
- Loose ridge capping. Wind works cracked mortar loose and lifts ridge tiles. Re-bedding or mechanically fixing them stops repeat call-outs.
- Slate and clay tiles. Heavy tiles that slip or crack need a roofer who knows the material. Matching old slate or clay can take time, so ask about supply.
- Double-storey access. Scaffolding or roof ladders are often needed, which adds to the price. Ask for access costs as a separate line.
- Book in summer. Have the roof checked in the dry months, before the winter rains show up the weak spots.
Flat Roofs, Balconies and Terraces
Many larger homes combine pitched roofs with flat roof sections, balconies over living areas and terraces with parapet walls.
- Balconies over rooms. Leaks often show in the ceiling below. The fix may mean lifting tiles and waterproofing underneath, not just sealing the surface.
- Parapets and outlets. Cracked parapet tops and blocked outlets let water in during winter downpours. Ask for these to be included in the scope.
- Solar and geyser brackets. Panels and geysers fixed through the roof or a flat deck are a common leak source if the penetrations were badly sealed.

How much do roof repairs cost in Plattekloof?
A minor leak is roughly R850 to R2,800, and re-bedding ridge capping is about R180 to R350 per metre. Double-storey access and scaffolding can add to the total.
Can my slate or clay roof be repaired rather than replaced?
Usually, if the battens and most tiles are sound. Broken or slipped pieces can be replaced, but ask the roofer how closely new tiles will match.
My balcony leaks into the room below. What will it involve?
The contractor will look at the tiles, grout, outlets and the waterproofing underneath. A liquid membrane is roughly R150 to R350 per m², but lifting and relaying tiles costs extra.
When should I book work on a hillside home?
In the dry summer months, before the winter cold fronts. Work at height in strong wind is slower and less safe, so allow some flexibility on dates.
