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.
Rain, Damp and Trees Under the Mountain
The suburbs under the mountain get the heaviest winter rain in Cape Town, and many roofs sit in shade. Roofs stay wet, moss builds up and leaves fill gutters just as the cold fronts arrive.
- Moss and lichen. It holds water on tiles and lifts them over time. Ask for cleaning and a moss treatment rather than a hard pressure wash on old tiles.
- Blocked gutters and valleys. Leaves and seed pods dam water until it backs up under tiles. Clean them before winter and again in autumn.
- Book in summer. Inspections and repairs are easier to schedule from about October to March, before the wet season.
Old and New Homes Side by Side
- Older homes. Clay tiles, slate and corrugated iron are common on older houses. Matching tiles can be hard, so ask whether salvaged tiles are available.
- Newer homes and townhouses. Concrete tiles, IBR sheeting and flat concrete roofs with box gutters that need sound waterproofing.
- Solar panels and geysers. Brackets and pipe penetrations added later are a common leak source. Ask the roofer to check the seals.
- Plans and permits. The City of Cape Town approves building plans here. Older buildings may need heritage approval before the roof is changed, so check first.

How much do roof repairs cost in the Southern Suburbs?
A minor leak repair is roughly R850 to R2,800 and a broken tile R25 to R65 plus a call-out of R350 to R600. A two-person crew costs about R1,800 to R4,200 per day.
Why does my roof only leak in winter?
Most rain falls from about May to August, often wind-driven. Small gaps at ridges, flashings and valleys only let water in when rain is pushed sideways by a cold front.
Should I have moss removed from my roof?
Yes, if it is thick. Moss holds water and can lift tiles. Cleaning and moss treatment costs about R25 to R40 per m².
How often should gutters be cleaned under big trees?
At least twice a year, in autumn and again mid-winter. Gutter guards can reduce the work.
