Wind Uplift
- Edges and ridges fail first. Uplift concentrates at the perimeter, so that is where fixing density matters.
- Flexible ridge compound outlasts mortar. Rigid mortar cracks under movement and lets driven rain past.
- Driven rain gets under laps. A roof that sheds vertical rain perfectly can leak in a south-easter.
- Rattling means the fixings have gone. That sheet leaves in the next serious blow.
- Photograph before repairing. Storm damage is claimable, wear is not.

On the hillside streets a roof that would be a straightforward day's work on flat ground needs scaffolding, sometimes a crane or hoist for materials, and edge protection on approaches that fall away sharply. That is not a contractor padding the number, and quotes that omit it tend to produce variations later. Ask every contractor to show access as a separate line, and where several small jobs are outstanding, get them done in one visit so the access is paid for once. Quotes here vary more on this line than on any other.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does roofing cost in Gordon's Bay?
Concrete tile runs R450 to R850 per square metre installed. Access is the variable: scaffolding on the steeper streets runs R6,500 to R55,000 and can exceed the roofing cost on a small job.
Why is access so expensive here?
Steep sites need scaffolding, sometimes a hoist for materials, and edge protection where the ground falls away. A quote that leaves it out usually returns as a variation.
What causes most damage, wind or salt?
Both, differently. Wind lifts sheeting and cracks ridge mortar at edges and ridges; salt corrodes fixings and cut edges. A coastal specification plus a denser perimeter fixing pattern addresses each.
Is flexible ridge compound better than mortar?
Under wind movement, yes. Rigid mortar cracks and lets driven rain past. Repointing runs R180 to R420 per metre, with flexible compound at the upper end.
My roof rattles in the south-easter, is that serious?
It means fixings have let go. The sheet tends to leave in the next blow rather than the current one, so it is worth attending to before the next front.
Should I group small jobs together?
Here especially. Access is paid once rather than three times, and on a steep site that is the bulk of the saving.
Are local contractors cheaper?
On small jobs generally, because no travel is priced in. They also tend to know the access constraints on specific streets.
