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.
Concrete Tiles and Ridge Capping
Many Plumstead homes have concrete tile roofs that are now decades old. The tiles often still work, but ridge mortar cracks and the surface wears away.
- Ridge capping. Cracked mortar lets wind-driven rain in. Re-bedding costs about R180 to R350 per metre.
- Broken tiles. Concrete tiles cost about R18 to R45 each, plus the call-out.
- Painting. Painting with primer and two coats, about R80 to R150 per m², protects worn tiles but does not fix broken ones.
- Solar and geysers. Check that brackets and pipes through the tiles are sealed.
Re-roofing Older Roofs, Gutters and Fascias
- When to re-roof. Sagging, rotten battens, no underlay or many porous tiles point to a re-roof at about R550 to R900 per m².
- Add insulation. When the roof is stripped, it is a good time to add underlay and ceiling insulation.
- Gutters. Old galvanised gutters rust at joints. PVC costs R70 to R165 per metre, seamless aluminium R140 to R350.
- Fascias. Rotten timber fascias let gutters sag. Replacement with removal costs about R250 to R550 per metre.

How much do roof repairs cost in Plumstead?
Re-bedding ridge capping costs about R180 to R350 per metre and a minor leak R850 to R2,800. A two-person crew costs about R1,800 to R4,200 per day.
How much does it cost to re-roof a concrete tile roof?
About R550 to R900 per m² for concrete tiles, battens and underlay, plus R50 to R120 per m² to strip and dispose of the old roof.
Should I paint or replace old concrete tiles?
Paint if the tiles and battens are sound and only the surface is worn. Replace if many tiles are cracked or the battens are rotten.
Should gutters and fascias be done with the roof?
It often makes sense, as scaffolding and labour are shared and new gutters fit cleanly to new fascias.
