Layered Roofs And Old Materials
Grey cement sheeting on garages, carports and outbuildings from before the mid-1990s must be tested before it is touched. It may contain asbestos. Do not cut, drill, break or pressure-wash it, and do not let a general roofer strip it.
- Coverings get changed over decades. What looks like one roof is often three eras of work meeting awkwardly.
- Junctions are where it leaks. Every re-covering and extension adds an abutment that has to be flashed properly.
- Old outbuildings are the asbestos risk. Garages and carports far more often than the house itself.
- Underlay may be missing entirely. On some older work there was never a membrane, which changes the repair options.
- Fix the roof before the ceiling. Otherwise the ceiling gets paid for twice.
Get the whole roof looked at rather than just the leaking corner, since older roofs rarely have one problem.
Compare Goodwood QuotesRoofing Contractors Goodwood And Extensions
Where a house has been extended, the junction between the original roof and the addition is the most common leak source in this area, particularly where the addition is at a lower pitch or where sealant was used instead of proper flashing. Junction flashing at R320 to R800 per metre is the fix. Water travels along battens and rafters before it drops, so the damp patch inside is nearly always downhill of where water is actually entering, which is why inspecting only the visible damage tends to miss the cause.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does roofing cost in Goodwood?
Concrete tile runs R450 to R850 per square metre installed and corrugated sheeting R400 to R780. Call-outs are R950 to R2,800 with no travel loading.
My extension leaks where it joins the house, why?
The junction flashing. Where an addition meets the original roof, especially at a different pitch, that detail fails first. It runs R320 to R800 per metre to redo properly.
My garage roof is old grey cement, is that asbestos?
Possibly. Anything from before the mid-1990s should be sampled and analysed at R1,500 to R4,500 before it is touched. Do not cut, drill, break or pressure-wash it.
Why can't the contractor find the leak?
Water travels along battens and rafters before it drops, so the entry point is uphill of the damp patch. On layered older roofs there may also be more than one source.
Should I repair the ceiling first?
No. Fix the roof, let it dry, then do the ceiling. Otherwise you pay for the ceiling twice.
What if my roof has no underlay?
On some older work there never was one. That changes the options, since surface repairs carry all the load. Re-tiling with a new membrane at R520 to R900 per square metre is the usual route.
Should I pay extra for corrosion-resistant materials?
Not this far from the sea. Standard specification performs fine, which keeps quotes below coastal equivalents on the same roof.
