Built for Cape Town Weather
Roofing Work That Handles Wind, Rain, and Coastal Conditions
Cape Town roofs take a beating from winter rain, strong winds, salt air, and intense summer sun. We build and repair roofs with those conditions in mind, paying attention to the details that usually cause problems: flashings, valleys, ridges, drainage, waterproofing, and fixing points.
Whether you need a new roof for a building project or a reliable repair on an existing roof, our team manages the work clearly from inspection to handover.

Roof Repairs
Finding the Cause Before Fixing the Symptom
A roof leak can show up far from the actual fault. We look at the roof covering, waterproofing details, gutters, downpipes, ceiling marks, and visible structure before recommending a repair. That means the work is based on the likely source of water entry, not guesswork.
- Experienced local building team
- Repairs matched to the real source of the leak
- New roof work coordinated with ceilings, gutters, waterproofing, and finishes
- Clear scope before work starts
- Practical advice for Cape Town wind, rain, and coastal conditions
- Clean, respectful work on occupied homes and commercial properties

Cost Guide
Roof Repair and New Roof Costs in Cape Town
Roofing costs depend on access, roof size, pitch, materials, water damage, and whether structural repairs or waterproofing are needed. We provide a site-specific quote before work begins.
Minor Repairs
From R2,500
Small leak repairs, cracked tiles, localised flashing repairs, and basic waterproofing fixes.
Larger Repairs
R8,000 - R35,000
Storm damage, valley repairs, partial roof replacement, structural timber repairs, and drainage corrections.
New Roofs
Quoted on site
New roof installations vary by roof size, pitch, material, access, structure, and finishing requirements.
Preventative Maintenance
Fix Small Roof Issues Early
Small roof faults can become expensive once water reaches ceilings, timber, insulation, or electrical points. Regular inspection and targeted maintenance help prevent interior damage and extend the life of the roof.
Frequently Asked Roofing Questions
Key roofing questions for Cape Town homeowners and businesses — covering leaks, new roofs, waterproofing, repairs, warranties and maintenance.
Do you repair leaking roofs?
Yes. We inspect the roof first so the repair targets the actual cause of the leak, not only the visible stain or damp patch.
Can you install a new roof for an extension?
Yes. We handle new roofs for extensions, garages, outbuildings, braai rooms, and full home projects.
Do you work on flat roofs?
Yes. We repair and waterproof flat roofs, parapets, balconies, and roof areas where drainage and waterproofing details are critical.
How much does roof repair cost in Cape Town?
Costs depend on access, damage, materials, and the cause of the problem. Minor repairs can start from around R2,500, while larger repair work is quoted after inspection.
How quickly can you respond to an emergency leak?
We offer fast response for urgent leaks; timing depends on current schedules and location — contact us and we prioritise severe leaks.
Do your roofing works come with a warranty?
Yes. We provide warranties on workmanship and, where applicable, on materials per manufacturer terms. Specific warranty details are included in our quotes.
Can you match existing roof materials for repairs?
Often yes — we source matching tiles, sheets or materials where available, and we advise on best-fit solutions when exact matches aren’t possible.
