Extensions And Junctions
- Old meets new badly. Where an extension roof abuts the original, the flashing is the single most common leak source.
- Pitch changes need proper detailing. A lower-pitch addition off a steeper roof concentrates water at the junction.
- Owner-built additions are a common finding. Sealant instead of flashing works for a season and then does not.
- Look above the damp, not at it. Water travels along battens and rafters before it drops, so the entry point is usually uphill.
- Fix the junction, not the ceiling. Repairing the ceiling first just means doing it twice.
Say where the damp appears and whether the house has been extended, so contractors know where to look.

On roofs past twenty-five or thirty years the underlay beneath the tiles has usually gone brittle, and the symptom is damp in several rooms with no single hole above any of them. Surface repairs do not address it. Re-tiling at R520 to R900 per square metre lifts the sound tiles, renews the membrane and relays them, which is considerably cheaper than a full new roof because the tiles are reused. Before committing either way, adding up three winters of call-outs is usually what makes the decision obvious.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does roofing cost in Kraaifontein?
Concrete tile runs R450 to R850 per square metre installed, corrugated sheeting R400 to R780, and call-outs R950 to R2,800 with no travel loading.
My extension leaks where it meets the house, why?
The junction flashing. Where an addition abuts the original roof, that detail is the most common failure point, especially where sealant was used instead of proper flashing.
The damp patch is in one place but the leak is not, why?
Water travels along battens and rafters before it drops. The entry point is nearly always uphill of where the damp appears.
Should I repair the ceiling first?
No. Fix the roof, let everything dry, then repair the ceiling. Doing it the other way round means paying for the ceiling twice.
I have damp in several rooms, what is that?
Usually perished underlay rather than a single leak. On roofs past twenty-five to thirty years the membrane goes brittle and tears.
What does re-tiling save against a full replacement?
A good deal. At R520 to R900 per square metre the sound tiles are lifted, the membrane renewed and the tiles relaid, so you pay for labour and underlay only.
How do I decide between repairing and re-tiling?
Total three winters of call-outs and compare. Where the underlay has gone, each repair only moves the leak rather than stopping it.
