- Salt-laden air. Corrodes roof fasteners, gutters and any exposed steel considerably faster than inland.
- Wind off False Bay. Driven rain forced up under laps and behind flashings on the exposed elevation.
- Old corrugated roofs. Repeatedly coated over the years without the fixings being replaced underneath.
- Damp in seaside cottages. Salt-loaded masonry stays hygroscopic and keeps drawing moisture from the air.
- Galvanised gutters. Rust through at joints and low spots, common in the older stock.
Roofs and Buildings in the Area
Older seaside cottages and Victorian villas close to the beach, with corrugated and tiled pitched roofs, alongside later flats and houses running up the mountain side.
Salt-contaminated walls need breathable treatment. Sealing them with a vapour-tight coating traps moisture behind it and makes the problem worse rather than better.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does damp keep returning in a seaside cottage?
Salt in the masonry draws moisture from the air even after the original source is stopped. Salt-retardant replastering is usually needed alongside whatever fixed the cause.
How long do galvanised gutters last near the sea?
Considerably less than inland. Aluminium or PVC is generally the sensible replacement here rather than another galvanised run.
How long does a waterproofing job take in Muizenberg?
A domestic flat roof is often two to four days including preparation and curing. Larger or multi-section roofs run one to three weeks. Rain stops work entirely, so winter jobs take longer than the working days suggest.
Should I get a written report as well as a quote?
On anything beyond a simple repair it helps. A report setting out what was found and why a system was chosen gives you something to compare against and something to refer back to if the work is questioned later.
What should a waterproofing quote include?
The measured area, the system and product by name, the number of coats or layers, the preparation being done, how upstands and outlets are detailed, access equipment, the guarantee term and the exclusions.
Does a roof need to be repaired before it is coated?
Yes. Cracked tiles, loose ridge caps, corroded fasteners and failed flashings must be dealt with first. Paint or coating over a defect hides it and the eventual repair costs more.
