Uplift From Wind
- Edges and ridges go first. Wind uplift is strongest around the perimeter, so that is where extra fixings count.
- Flexible ridge pointing lasts longer than mortar. Rigid mortar cracks as the roof moves and lets wind-blown rain through.
- Wind pushes rain under the laps. A roof that sheds rain falling straight down can still leak in a south-easter.
- A rattling sheet has lost its fixings. The next big wind will take it.
- Photograph before repairing. Damage from storms is claimable, wear is not.

Compare Gordon's Bay QuotesRoof Leak Repairs Gordon's Bay Rates And Access
On the hillside roads, a roof that would take a simple day on level ground needs scaffolding, sometimes a crane or hoist for materials, and edge protection where the ground drops steeply. That is not a roofer inflating the price, and quotes that leave it out tend to come back with variations. Ask each roofer to show access as its own line, and if you have several small jobs waiting, do them in one visit so you pay for access once. Quotes here differ more on access than on anything else.
Common Questions
How much does roof work cost in Gordon's Bay?
Concrete tile runs R450-R850 per m² fitted. Access is the variable: scaffold on the more steeply pitched streets runs R6,500-R55,000 and can exceed the roofing cost on a small project.
Why is access so costly here?
Steep sites need scaffold, at times a hoist for materials, and edge protection where the ground falls away. A price that leaves it out generally returns as a variation.
Which does more damage here, wind or salt?
Both, differently. Wind lifts sheeting and splits ridge mortar at edges and ridge lines; salt corrodes fasteners and cut edges. A seaside spec plus a denser perimeter fixing pattern addresses each.
Does flexible ridge pointing beat mortar?
Under wind movement, yes. Rigid mortar splits and lets driven rain past. Repointing runs R180-R420 a metre, with flexible compound at the upper end.
My roof rattles when the south-easter blows. Should I worry?
The fixings have come loose. The sheet usually goes in the next storm rather than this one, so get it seen to before the next front arrives.
Would you advise that I group small projects at the same time?
Particularly here. You pay for access once instead of three times, and on a steep plot that is most of the saving.
Are local roofers less expensive?
On small jobs usually, as there is no travel cost. They also tend to know the access problems on particular roads.
