Compare Illovo QuotesRoof Repairs Illovo For Trustees
Trustees of older blocks often inherit a roof that has been patched by several contractors over many years, with no record of what was done. The first step is a written condition survey of every roof area, then a single scope all contractors price. That makes quotes comparable and gives owners something concrete when a special levy is needed. Where a membrane is at the end of its life, adding up recent repair spend and internal damage and comparing it with a strip and re-waterproof usually makes the decision clear.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who pays for leaks into top-floor flats?
Normally the body corporate, as the roof is common property. Internal reinstatement depends on the rules.
Patch or re-waterproof the block roof?
Compare three years of repair spend plus internal damage with R380 to R750 per square metre to strip and recover.
What do trustees need to motivate a levy?
A written survey, comparable quotes on one scope, and a phasing plan.
How long does block waterproofing take?
Often one to three weeks depending on area, weather and access.
Do residents need to move out?
No. Work is on the roof, with some noise and access restrictions.
What does re-laying an older house roof cost?
Typically R280 to R520 per square metre with tiles reused.
Is an annual maintenance contract worth it for a block?
Usually. Outlet clearing costs far less than water damage in occupied flats.
