Overhanging Trees
- Leaves block roof valleys and gutters promptly. Where two roof slopes join, fallen leaves build a dam, and the trapped runoff pushes back beneath the tiles.
- Shady slopes grow moss. South-facing roof sections beneath trees stay damp, and the moss keeps the tiles wet.
- Book gutter clearing every six months. Under big established trees, one visit a year falls behind.
- Branches do more than shed leaves. A falling bough splits tiles, and nobody tends to spot it until the next downpour.
- Roofs in shade stay wet longer. A covering that is seldom fully dry ages more fast than one in complete sun.
Have the entire roof looked at, not only the corner that leaks.
Compare Kenilworth QuotesRoof Leak Repairs Kenilworth Fix Or Re-Tile
Most owners here eventually face the same choice: keep repairing or re-tile. The underlay decides it, not the tiles, because concrete tiles easily outlive the membrane below them. After 25 to 30 years that membrane turns brittle and rips along the battens, and the sign is damp showing up in several rooms without any single hole above. Surface repairs cannot fix that. Re-tiling at R520-R900 per square metre lifts the good tiles, fits new membrane and puts the tiles back, costing far less than a new roof because the tiles are reused. Before choosing, total up three winters of call-outs; that number normally makes the decision clear.
Common Questions
How much does roof work cost in Kenilworth?
Concrete tile runs R450-R850 per m² fitted and underlay membrane replacement with re-tiling R520-R900. Site visits are R950-R2,800.
What causes damp patches without a hole above?
Degraded underlay membrane, in most cases. Past 25 to 30 years the membrane goes fragile and stops catching driven rain that gets past the tiles.
How much less is re-tiling than a complete replacement?
Considerably less. At R520-R900 a square metre the sound tiles are raised and relaid, so you pay for labour and membrane instead of an entire new covering.
At what point should I stop paying for repairs?
Total three winters of site visits and compare against re-tiling. Where the underlayment has gone, each repair only shifts the leak rather than stopping it.
Should the tiles be replaced as well?
Normally not. Concrete tiles outlast the underlay membrane beneath them, which is exactly why re-tiling is the wise middle option.
Would you advise that I repoint the ridge or shift to a dry system?
Where the mortar has cracked more than once, the dry system typically wins. At R450-R950 a metre it removes the mortar completely and ventilates the apex.
Do the gutters need doing in one go?
Worth considering, since the access is by now paid for. Clearing runs R1,200-R3,500 a visit under mature trees.
