Indicative Rivonia ranges, not quotations. Rates track Roofing Contractors Johannesburg. Converting thatch to tile or sheeting usually involves structural changes, so expect it to cost more than re-thatching.
Homes Used As Offices
- Working hours. Noisy work may need to happen outside office hours or be agreed in advance.
- Liability cover. Staff and visitors on site make proof of public liability cover essential.
- Watertight each day. Open sections must be closed before the crew leaves, especially in storm season.
- Insurance wording. Commercial property policies can have different roof conditions than home policies.
- Parking and access. Scaffolding and material deliveries need space that offices often do not have.
Say if the property is used as an office, so contractors plan around it.
Compare Rivonia QuotesRoof Repairs Rivonia Thatch Decisions
Owners of older thatched properties often weigh re-thatching against converting to tile or sheeting. Re-thatching keeps the character and is usually the cheaper route where the structure is sound. Converting can reduce fire risk and insurance premiums, but thatch roofs are built at steep pitches on poles and battens that may not suit the weight or fixing needs of tiles, so trusses are frequently modified or replaced. Ask any contractor quoting a conversion who has checked the structure and whether an engineer is involved.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it cheaper to re-thatch or convert to tiles?
Re-thatching is usually cheaper where the structure is sound. Conversions often need structural work.
Does converting thatch reduce insurance?
It commonly does, but ask your insurer for figures before deciding on that basis.
Do office conversions need commercial contractors?
Not always, but they need contractors with liability cover who can work around occupants.
How long does a lightning conductor last?
It can last many years, but it should be tested rather than assumed to work.
Can tiles be reused on a re-roof?
Yes, if sound. Contractors allow a percentage for breakage.
What does clay tile re-roofing cost?
Typically R750 to R1,150 per square metre including underlay.
Can roof work be done over weekends?
Many contractors will, often at a higher labour rate. Ask for it in the quote.
