Tree Cover
- Valleys and gutters fill fast. Leaf litter dams the junctions where slopes meet, and water that cannot drain backs up under the tiles.
- Moss grows on shaded slopes. Southern faces under trees hold damp, and moss holds water against the tile surface.
- Clear twice a year, not once. A single annual visit does not keep up with mature tree cover.
- Overhanging branches drop more than leaves. Falling limbs break tiles, and the damage is often not noticed until it rains.
- Shade slows drying. A roof that never dries out properly deteriorates faster than an exposed one.
Get the whole roof assessed rather than only the leaking corner.
Compare Claremont QuotesRoofing Contractors Claremont Building Types
| Building | Usual roof | What the contractor needs |
|---|---|---|
| Older houses | Tile with ageing underlay | Re-tiling, ridge and flashing work |
| Apartment blocks | Flat concrete with membrane | Waterproofing, sectional title experience |
| Offices and retail frontage | Flat and parapet roofs | Phasing around trading, liability cover |
| Townhouse complexes | Modern tile and low-pitch | Single scope across multiple units |
| Converted houses and rooms | Mixed, often altered | Junction detailing on added sections |
Say which kind of building it is in the request, because a firm strong on residential tiling is not automatically competent on membrane detailing over an occupied office, and the reverse is equally true.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does roofing cost in Claremont?
Concrete tile runs R450 to R850 per square metre installed and torch-on waterproofing R280 to R550. Access on multi-storey blocks adds R8,500 to R95,000.
Is the same contractor right for a house and a block?
Rarely. Tiling and membrane waterproofing are different skills, and commercial work adds phasing, liability cover and access requirements.
Where do flat roofs on blocks leak?
Upstands, parapet details and rainwater outlets far more often than the field of the membrane. Redetailing runs R450 to R950 per metre.
Who pays for the roof in a block of flats?
Normally the body corporate, since the roof over common property is its responsibility, funded from the reserve fund or a special levy.
Can my office stay open during the work?
Yes. Work is phased, each open section is made watertight daily, and noisy stages are scheduled around business hours.
My older house has damp in several rooms, why?
Usually perished underlay rather than a single leak. Re-tiling at R520 to R900 per square metre renews the membrane with the sound tiles reused.
Is gutter clearing worth scheduling?
Under mature tree cover, yes. Two visits a year at R1,200 to R3,500 each is cheaper than the valley and ceiling repairs that blockages cause.
