Indicative Northern Suburbs ranges, not quotations. Rates track Roofing Contractors Cape Town. On older roofs the variable is what is found once the covering is off, which is why a provisional sum belongs in the quote.
Older Roofs
- Underlay fails before the tiles. Past twenty-five to thirty years the membrane goes brittle and tears at the battens.
- The symptom is damp in several rooms. Multiple patches with no single hole above them is the signature.
- Timber takes decades of small leaks. Rot and borer only appear once the covering comes off.
- Agree the provisional sum first. It converts a mid-job phone call into a line already priced.
- Never let anyone cut a truss member. Trusses are engineered assemblies; cutting one for a geyser compromises the whole.
On a roof past twenty-five years, get a provisional sum for hidden timber damage written into every quote.

The industrial units here run IBR on steel portal frames, and the failure pattern is the familiar one: scattered leaks that trace back to perished fixing washers rather than holes in the sheet. Area-wide refixing at R120 to R320 per square metre buys years where the sheeting itself is sound, against R380 to R750 to re-sheet. Where corrosion has gone through the sheet or the purlins are compromised, refixing only delays the inevitable, and an honest assessment should say which situation you are in.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does roofing cost in Parow?
Concrete tile runs R450 to R850 per square metre installed and underlay replacement with re-tiling R520 to R900. Call-outs are R950 to R2,800 with no travel loading.
I have damp in several rooms, what is causing it?
Usually perished underlay rather than a single leak. Past twenty-five to thirty years the membrane goes brittle and no longer catches what gets past the tiles.
Why do old-roof quotes change mid-job?
Rot and borer in the timber only become visible once the covering is off. A provisional sum of R15,000 to R60,000 agreed upfront prevents that becoming a dispute.
Is re-tiling cheaper than replacing the roof?
Considerably. The sound tiles are reused, so at R520 to R900 per square metre you pay for labour and membrane rather than a whole new covering.
Can a truss be cut for a geyser?
No. Trusses are engineered assemblies and cutting a member compromises the whole. Any alteration needs an engineered detail.
My unit in Parow Industria leaks in several places, why?
Perished fixing washers across the whole roof. Area-wide refixing at R120 to R320 per square metre is usually the answer where the sheets are sound.
When does refixing stop being worth it?
Once corrosion has gone through the sheet or the purlins are compromised. At that point refixing only delays re-sheeting.
