Patch Or Re-Lay
| Situation | Usual answer | Why |
|---|---|---|
| One leak, underlay sound | Repair | Localised fault |
| Cracked ridge mortar only | Repoint with flexible compound | Lasts longer than sand-cement |
| Leaks in new places each season | Re-lay on new underlay | The system has failed |
| Many porous or cracked tiles | Re-roof with new tiles | Tiles no longer reusable |
| Sagging roof line | Truss inspection first | Structure before covering |

Compare Randburg QuotesRoof Repairs Randburg Townhouses
Many Randburg townhouse complexes are roofed with the same tile and underlay throughout, installed at the same time, which means the underlay tends to fail across the complex within a few seasons of itself. Trustees who treat each leak as a separate call-out end up paying for the same fault many times. A complex-wide inspection and a phased re-lay programme, priced by several contractors against the same scope, is usually the cheaper route and spreads the spend across budget years.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my roof needs re-laying?
Leaks appearing in different places over one or two storm seasons usually mean perished underlay rather than individual faults.
What does re-laying tiles cost in Randburg?
Typically R280 to R520 per square metre when existing tiles are reused.
Is roof painting a fix for leaks?
No. It seals porous tiles and restores appearance, but does not fix underlay or flashings.
Why does my ridge keep cracking?
Rigid sand-cement cannot move with the roof. Flexible pointing compounds last considerably longer.
Can a complex re-roof be done in phases?
Yes. Most are done a block at a time, so each budget year covers part of the complex.
Do I need to move out during a re-lay?
Usually not. Rooms below may be dusty, and work is done one section at a time.
What happens if battens are rotten?
They are replaced during the re-lay, usually priced per metre or as a provisional sum.
