- Heritage buildings. Solid walls without damp-proof courses, and constraints on visible external work.
- Steep slope. Sub-surface run-off moving downhill against the uphill elevation of properties below.
- Salt from the harbour. Continuous exposure, corroding fixings, gutters and exposed steelwork.
- Old corrugated roofs. Layered coatings over fasteners that were never replaced.
- Retaining walls. Properties cut into the slope holding back saturated ground.
Building Stock
Historic naval-town stock with solid masonry walls and pitched corrugated roofs on the slope above the harbour, plus later housing and flats further out.
On the slope, the uphill wall of a property frequently behaves like a basement wall whether or not there is a basement. Water arrives under pressure from the ground rather than falling on it.

These are indicative ranges rather than a quote. They come from published South African pricing for waterproofing and roofing work, and no company on this platform is bound to them.
What separates two quotes is usually preparation and detailing, not the rate per square metre.
Getting quotes in before the first front costs nothing and avoids the rush.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the back wall of my property always damp?
Where a wall retains ground, saturated soil pushes water through it under pressure. That needs a tanking or drained system rather than a surface coating, and external drainage usually helps more than either.
Can heritage properties be waterproofed and damp proofed?
Yes. Roof work and internal damp treatment are generally less constrained than changes to a visible elevation, but confirm what applies to the specific property first.
How do I know if my damp is rising or penetrating?
Rising damp holds a fairly level line, usually below a metre, and does not change much with the weather. Penetrating damp appears at any height, follows a defect, and worsens within hours of rain.
Who is responsible for roof work in a complex or sectional title scheme?
Normally the body corporate for common property, instructed by the trustees or managing agent. Exclusive-use areas such as balconies depend on the scheme's rules, so confirm before commissioning anything.
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 Simon's Town?
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.
