Waterproofing Plattekloof runs from roof membranes to damp walls and leaking gutters. Contractors working here quote through this page.
The systems, methods and price detail behind all of this sit under Waterproofing Cape Town.
Describe the problem and the roof or wall type. That is usually enough to price it.

- Steep sites and retaining walls. Walls holding back saturated ground, which behaves like a basement problem rather than a surface one.
- Flat concrete sections. Modern designs combining pitched roofs with flat decks and links over living space.
- Elevated wind exposure. Open slope positions taking the full south-easter.
- Access on the slope. Constrained sites and height, both of which add to equipment cost.
- Estate guidelines. Approval required for visible changes on parts of the suburb.
What Is Built Here
Larger contemporary homes on the Tygerberg slopes, with a mix of pitched tiled roofs, flat concrete sections and substantial retaining structures on the steeper sites.
Where a modern house mixes pitched roof with flat deck over habitable space, the flat section carries most of the risk. It is a smaller area and usually the reason the ceiling below is stained.

What separates two quotes is usually preparation and detailing, not the rate per square metre.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do flat sections on a mostly pitched roof need different treatment?
Yes. A flat area needs falls, outlets and a membrane specified for standing water, which is a different job to the tiled roof around it.
How is a retaining wall waterproofed?
Externally before backfilling where possible, or internally with a tanking or drained system on an existing structure. Subsoil drainage that reduces the water load usually helps more than either.
How long does a waterproofing job take in Plattekloof?
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.
