- Added carports and patios. Lean-to and flat roofs attached to the house at an abutment that leaks.
- Ageing tile roofs. Bedding and flashings needing attention together across the original stock.
- Exposure to the south-easter. Open ground north of Table Mountain with little wind shelter.
- Gutter capacity. Roofs extended over the years without drainage being upgraded to match.
- Sheet roofs on additions. IBR carports and covered areas where fasteners fail first.
Roofs and Buildings in the Area
Single-storey family housing with pitched tiled roofs on modest plots, with a high proportion of extensions, carports and enclosed patios added over time.
Where a roof has been extended and the gutters have not, overflow in heavy rain is a capacity problem rather than a blockage. Clearing them repeatedly will not fix it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my gutter overflow even when it is clean?
Usually the gutter or downpipe is undersized for the roof area draining into it, or the fall is wrong. Overflow only in heavy rain with clear gutters points at capacity.
Do carport roofs need waterproofing?
Sheet carports need their fasteners and laps maintained like any sheet roof. Where the carport roof abuts the house, that junction needs proper flashing rather than sealant.
Is the cheapest waterproofing quote usually the right one?
Rarely. The cheapest quote is typically the one that coats over the existing membrane, prices preparation as a variation and excludes making good. Compare the inclusions before comparing the totals.
How much does waterproofing cost in Bothasig?
Roof waterproofing generally runs R150 to R350 per square metre, with torch-on membrane at R300 to R400. A 40 m² flat roof typically lands between R12,000 and R24,000. Damp treatment on a single wall usually totals R6,000 to R18,000.
How do I compare waterproofing quotes for a property in Bothasig?
Compare the specification rather than the total. Which system, how many coats or layers, what preparation is included, how upstands and outlets are detailed, and what the guarantee excludes. Two quotes far apart usually differ on stripping and preparation.
When is the best time of year to book waterproofing in Bothasig?
Late summer or autumn. Membranes and coatings need a dry substrate and a dry curing window, and contractors fill up as soon as the first winter fronts arrive.
