Indicative Germiston ranges, not quotations. Rates track Roofing Contractors Johannesburg. Sites close to heavy industry can justify a higher coating class, which adds modestly to the sheet price and substantially to its life.
Corrosion On Older Metal Roofs
- Cut edges and sheet ends. Bare steel at cuts rusts first, especially at the eaves where water collects.
- Fixings. Old nails and screws corrode and loosen, and every loose fixing is a leak point.
- Hail-chipped coatings. Each chip exposes steel and starts a rust spot.
- Laps. Moisture trapped between overlapping sheets corrodes both surfaces from inside.
- Gutters and valleys. Constant water flow wears through galvanising long before the roof face.
Photos of the worst rust spots help contractors judge repair versus replacement.
Compare Germiston QuotesRoof Repairs Germiston: Treat Or Replace
Surface rust on sound sheeting can be wire-brushed, primed and coated for a fraction of re-roofing, and it buys years if done before the steel is holed. Once sheets are perforated, flaking in layers or rusted through at the laps, coating only hides the problem, and replacement of the affected sheets or the whole roof is the honest recommendation. Ask each contractor to say which sheets they consider beyond treatment, because that single answer shows whether quotes are comparable.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can a rusted corrugated roof be saved?
If the rust is on the surface and sheets are not holed, treatment and painting usually works. Perforated sheets need replacing.
How much does corrugated iron roofing cost?
Full replacement typically runs R480 to R880 per square metre including flashings.
Is corrugated or IBR better for a replacement?
Corrugated suits older houses and curved verandas; IBR spans further and suits larger or low-pitch roofs.
How do I know if my fibre-cement roof has asbestos?
Only a laboratory-tested sample confirms it. Do not cut, drill or pressure-wash it to find out.
Why do industrial roofs leak at the fixings?
Thermal movement and age loosen fixings and perish washers. Area-wide refixing addresses it without re-sheeting.
What coating should I ask for near heavy industry?
Ask for a higher corrosion-resistance class and the manufacturer's warranty conditions for that environment.
Do contractors replace just the worst sheets?
Yes, where the rest are sound. Matching profile and colour is the main limitation.
