Additions And Roof Junctions
- The join between old and new often fails. Where an extension roof meets the original, the flashing is the most frequent leak point.
- Changes in slope need careful detailing. A shallower addition off a steeper roof funnels water into the join.
- DIY additions turn up regularly. Sealant in place of flashing holds for a season and then lets go.
- Look higher than the damp patch. Water runs along battens and rafters before dripping, so the entry point is normally further up the slope.
- Fix the join before the ceiling. Repairing the ceiling first just means doing it again.
Say where the damp appears and whether the home has been extended, so roofing firms know where to look.

Once a roof passes 25 or 30 years, the underlay under the tiles has normally become brittle, and the sign is damp in several rooms with no one hole above. Surface repairs will not solve it. Re-tiling at R520-R900 per square metre lifts the good tiles, fits a new membrane and relays them, which costs far less than a brand-new roof since the tiles go back on. Before you decide, adding up three winters of call-outs normally makes the choice obvious.
Common Questions
How much does roof work cost in Kraaifontein?
Concrete tile runs R450-R850 per m² fitted, corrugated sheeting R400-R780, and site visits R950-R2,800 with no travel loading.
My extension leaks where it meets the home, why?
The flashing at the join. Where an extension meets the original roof, that detail fails more than anything else, especially if sealant was used instead of flashing.
Why is the damp patch not where the leak is?
Water travels along battens and rafters before it drops. The point of entry is almost always uphill of where the damp appears.
Would you advise that I repair the ceiling first?
No. Repair the roof, wait for everything to dry, then fix the ceiling. The other order means paying for the ceiling twice.
I have damp in a number of rooms, what is that?
Generally degraded underlay membrane instead of a single leak. On roofs past 25 to 30 years the membrane goes fragile and tears.
What does re-tiling save against a complete replacement?
A good deal. At R520-R900 per m² the sound tiles are raised, the membrane renewed and the tiles relaid, so you pay for labour and underlayment only.
How do I determine between repairing and re-tiling?
Total three winters of site visits and compare. Where the underlay membrane has gone, each repair only shifts the leak rather than stopping it.
