Compare Springs QuotesRoof Repairs Springs On A Budget
The cheapest honest option depends on what has failed. Where sheets are sound and leaks are at old nails or screws, refixing with coated screws and sealing washers can stop most leaks for a modest spend. Where only some sheets are holed, replacing those and treating the rest spreads the cost. What rarely works is coating over perforated or badly flaking steel, which looks fine for a season and fails in the first big storm. A contractor who tells you the roof is past saving is giving you useful information, not upselling.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the cheapest way to stop a sheeted roof leaking?
If sheets are sound, refixing and resealing at the fixings and laps. It is far cheaper than re-sheeting.
Can I re-roof in stages?
Often yes, one slope or section at a time, as long as each stage is properly flashed to the next.
Is roof paint a fix for leaks?
No. Paint protects sound sheeting and tiles; it does not seal holes, failed laps or perished underlay.
What does a corrugated re-roof cost?
Typically R420 to R850 per square metre including flashings, depending on gauge and coating.
Is asbestos removal compulsory?
Not simply for having one, but a damaged asbestos roof should not be repaired by cutting or drilling. Get specialist advice.
How long does roof paint last on metal?
Commonly around ten years on properly prepared sheeting, less where hail chips the coating.
Should I replace gutters at the same time?
If they are near the end of their life, yes. The access and flashings overlap, so it saves labour.
