Perished Underlay
- Underlay is the second line of defence. Tiles shed most water; the membrane beneath catches what gets past in driven rain.
- It has a shorter life than the tiles. On roofs past thirty years it has usually gone brittle and torn at the battens.
- Symptoms look like many small leaks. Damp patches in several rooms with no single source above them.
- It cannot be replaced from inside. The tiles have to come off, which is why it costs R520 to R900 per square metre.
- Do it once, with the tiles relaid. Sound tiles are reused, so the cost is labour and membrane rather than a full new roof.
Damp in several rooms with no obvious hole above usually means underlay, not a leak.
Compare Fish Hoek QuotesRoofing Contractors Fish Hoek Coastal Specification
Everything metal on a roof this close to the sea should be specified for it. Fixings in stainless rather than plain galvanised, aluminium-zinc coated or better on sheeting, aluminium gutters rather than steel, and stainless or aluminium whirlybirds because standard bearings seize within a few years and a seized turbine ventilates nothing. The premium across all of it is modest; the difference in how long the roof lasts is not.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does roofing cost in Fish Hoek?
Concrete tile runs R450 to R850 per square metre installed and call-outs R950 to R2,800 from Peninsula-based firms. Underlay replacement with the tiles relaid is R520 to R900.
I have damp in several rooms but no obvious leak, why?
Usually perished underlay. On roofs past thirty years the membrane goes brittle and tears, so driven rain that gets past the tiles is no longer caught.
Can underlay be replaced without removing the tiles?
No. The tiles have to come off and be relaid, which is why it runs R520 to R900 per square metre. Sound tiles are reused, so it is cheaper than a full new roof.
Why do my roof fixings rust so quickly?
Salt. Fasteners and cut edges corrode well before the sheet itself, which is why replacing fixings often resolves a roof that looks finished.
Why has my whirlybird stopped spinning?
Salt in the bearing. Standard galvanised units seize in a few years. Stainless or aluminium at R1,900 to R4,400 lasts considerably longer.
Should I use steel or aluminium gutters?
Aluminium. Steel rusts through wherever the coating is breached, and this close to the sea that happens fast.
Are Peninsula contractors quicker to respond?
Generally yes, particularly for emergencies. Metro firms coming down the coast road take longer and price the travel in.
Fish Hoek requests through Roofing Contractors Cape Town reach Peninsula firms as well as metro contractors, which matters on urgent work given the drive.
