Roofing Contractor in Century City

Yes, across the residential and commercial sides — the apartment blocks and cluster developments, the office parks, and the mixed-use buildings. We also work in neighbouring Milnerton, Montague Gardens, Paarden Eiland, and the surrounding areas.

We are used to it. We inspect the roof, then give you a written condition report and scope in a form trustees can actually put to a meeting — what is failing, what it will cost, what happens if it is deferred, and what can be split across financial years. We deal directly with the managing agent on access, approved working hours, lift bookings, and parking, and we keep the trustees updated as the work runs rather than only at the end.

Usually, but almost never directly above where it appears. Water entering a flat concrete roof runs along the slab, along a movement joint, or down a service penetration before it finds a way through a ceiling — so the stain can be metres from the entry point. That is why we trace it properly instead of waterproofing the patch above the stain, which is the standard way of paying for the same repair three times.

Yes, and it is how we run these jobs. We phase the work block by block or section by section so only a limited area is live at any time, keep walkways and entrances open, and never leave an open roof above an occupied unit overnight — each section is stripped and dried in the same day. Residents get notice of which section is next and roughly how long it will take.

That is a drainage problem, not a covering problem. A large flat slab with too few rainwater outlets — or with one of them blocked — will cope with normal rain and back up in a downpour, at which point water goes over the upstand and into the building. Century City also catches serious wind-driven rain off the flats. We check outlet capacity and add overflows so a blockage announces itself down an outside wall rather than through somebody's ceiling.

Yes, and on multi-storey blocks it is often the actual cause of what gets reported as a roof leak. Failed slab edge seals, missing drip details, and worn balcony waterproofing send water straight into the soffit and the unit below. We treat the balconies, walkways, and soffits as part of the building envelope rather than a separate trade's problem.

Yes. Alongside the residential blocks we work on the office and commercial buildings around Century City — larger flat roofs, box gutters, sheeting, and parapet details — and we schedule around tenants and trading hours in the same way we schedule around residents.

Get in touch to arrange a free site visit. We inspect the roof and the affected units, trace the leaks back to their source, check outlet capacity and falls, and send you a written quote and condition report set out so trustees or a managing agent can act on it.
