Old Materials Under Newer Layers
Get any grey cement sheeting on garages, carports or outbuildings from before about 1995 tested before it is disturbed. It may contain asbestos. Do not cut, drill, break or pressure-wash it, and do not let a general roofer strip it off.
- Coverings get changed over several decades. What looks like one roof is frequently three eras of work meeting awkwardly.
- Joins are where water gets in. Each re-cover and extension adds a wall junction that needs proper flashing.
- Old outbuildings are the asbestos risk. Garages and carports much more frequently than the home itself.
- There may be no underlay at all. Some older roofs were built without a membrane, which limits the repair options.
- Repair the roof, then the ceiling. Do it the other way round and you pay for the ceiling twice.
Get the entire roof looked at instead of just the leaking corner, since ageing roofs seldom have one issue.
Compare Goodwood QuotesRoof Leak Repairs Goodwood On Additions And Extensions
Where a house has an extension, the join between the original roof and the new section is the most frequent leak point in this area, particularly where the extension has a shallower slope or was sealed with mastic instead of a proper flashing. The fix is junction flashing at R320-R800 per metre. Water runs along battens and rafters before it drips, so the damp patch indoors almost always sits lower down than where the water gets in, which is why checking only the visible damage usually misses the cause.
Common Questions
How much does roof work cost in Goodwood?
Concrete tile runs R450-R850 per m² fitted and corrugated sheeting R400-R780. Site visits are R950-R2,800 with no travel loading.
My extension leaks where it joins the home, why?
The junction flashing. Where an addition meets the original roof, particularly at a different slope, that detail fails first. It runs R320-R800 per linear metre to redo properly.
Is the old grey cement on my garage roof asbestos?
Possibly. Anything dating from before about 1995 should be tested in a lab at R1,500-R4,500 before it is touched. Don't cut, drill, break or pressure-wash it.
Why can't the roofer locate the leak?
Water runs along battens and rafters before dripping, so it gets in higher up the slope than the damp patch. On older roofs with several layers there can also be more than one entry point.
Is it wise to repair the ceiling first?
No. Repair the roof, give it time to dry out, then fix the ceiling. Otherwise you end up paying for the ceiling twice.
What if my roof has no underlay membrane?
Some older roofs never had one. That limits what can be done, because surface repairs have to do all the work. The usual answer is re-tiling with a new membrane at R520-R900 per square metre.
Is it wise to pay extra for corrosion-resistant materials?
Not this far from the sea. Ordinary spec performs fine, which keeps quotes below seaside equivalents on the same roof.
