Wind Exposure
- Uplift concentrates at edges, ridges and gables. That is where the fixing pattern needs to be denser, not the middle of the roof.
- Open country means no shelter. Farm buildings take the full load with nothing upwind to break it.
- Fixings loosen over years. Damage is usually cumulative, and the storm that takes the sheet off is rarely the one that caused the problem.
- Rain goes sideways. Laps that handle vertical rain will leak under driven rain.
- Document before repairing. Storm damage is claimable, gradual wear is not, and photographs taken first are what settle that.
After a blow, photograph everything before any repair so the claim holds up.

Town housing is mostly concrete tile with the usual ridge mortar and underlay failures. Farms across the Swartland run grain stores, implement sheds and workers' housing on large-profile sheeting, often with pre-1990s cement sheeting still in place. Industrial and agricultural processing units carry IBR on steel portals, where fixing and lap failures are the usual cause of leaks over stock.
Grey cement sheeting from before the mid-1990s must be tested before it is touched. Do not cut, drill, break or pressure-wash it.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does roofing cost in Malmesbury?
Concrete tile runs R450 to R850 per square metre installed and IBR R380 to R750. Call-outs are R1,200 to R3,500 where the contractor travels in from the metro.
Why does wind damage keep happening at the same spots?
Uplift concentrates at edges, ridges and gable ends. If the fixing pattern is not denser there than in the middle of the roof, that is where it will keep failing.
Is wind damage covered by insurance?
Sudden storm damage generally is, gradual deterioration generally is not. Photograph everything before repairing and keep the two separate on the quote.
What does a storm damage assessment cost?
R1,200 to R4,500 for an itemised assessment suitable for a claim. It is usually worth it where the damage is significant or the insurer is likely to query the cause.
Do contractors work on farm buildings?
Yes. Grain stores, implement sheds and packing houses typically run R350 to R700 per square metre on large-profile sheeting with good access.
My sheeting rattles, is that a problem?
It means fixings have let go. That sheet usually leaves in the next serious blow rather than the current one.
Is the grey sheeting on my Swartland farm buildings safe?
Not until it is tested. Material from before the mid-1990s may contain asbestos, and removal is regulated work requiring a registered contractor.
Malmesbury requests through Roofing Contractors Cape Town reach Swartland firms as well as metro contractors, which is worth doing where travel would otherwise dominate a small repair.
