Specify, then install — covering with the structure
The brief is the roof in Somerset West, Strand or Gordon's Bay: pitch, covering, flashings, and whether trusses belong on the same job. We do not start from a sheet count on a counter.
Roof installations — new builds and extensions
New roofs in Somerset West — roof installations
New roofs in Somerset West — roof installations on houses, extensions and new builds. Site visit, roof photos, suburb. Not a sheeting warehouse.
01
A new roof should be specified for the structure and the covering, then installed — not ordered off a hardware tariff.
This is the new-roof card for Somerset West. Somerset West Roofing specifies the covering with the structure, then installs it — tiles, IBR, concealed-fix metal, or a flat covering where the plan asks for one. Houses, extensions and new builds in Somerset West, Strand and Gordon's Bay are the ordinary briefs. We are not a sheeting warehouse, not a tile catalogue, and not a waterproofing firm occupying this page because a new roof sometimes includes a torch-on detail. The visit is the start. Pitch, falls, access, how the roof will meet walls and valleys, and whether trusses are part of the same brief — those decide the spec. Older Helderberg streets often want tile to sit with the stock already there. Newer work often wants IBR or a concealed-fix sheet. We will not pretend one profile is the only roof in the basin, and we will not paste a hardware tariff onto this card. A new roof is one brief. An extension that has to marry an existing covering is another. A full strip-and-replace sits on the replacement card; do not use this page if the covering is finished and has to come off. Underlay and insulation can sit under a new roof when the brief includes them — one line in the scope, not a separate insulation company. Fascia, barge and flashings belong on the same install so the edges are not an afterthought. Send the suburb and roof photos, or photos of the open structure if it is a new build. We quote from the visit. Use the quote form, phone or WhatsApp on this page. No Rand figure is published. No warranty year is printed here. No supplier endorsement is claimed as ours.
What good work includes
Scope the complete requirement.
Tile, IBR or concealed-fix — the roof decides
Older Helderberg stock often points to clay or concrete tile. Newer work often points to IBR or Klip-Lok. The visit picks the covering. We do not stock a brand wall as ours.
New builds and extensions, not a re-roof in disguise
A new covering on a new structure lives here. A covering that has to come off first lives on the replacement card. We will say which.
Edges in the same scope
Flashings, fascia, barge and underlay sit with the install when the brief includes them. They are not extras sprung after the sheets are up.
Good fit for
Practical solutions for real properties.
The work is assessed according to use, condition, access and the result required.
- ↗A new roof on a measured Somerset West house or extension
- ↗Matching tile to older Helderberg stock on an addition
- ↗IBR or concealed-fix on a newer development roof
- ↗A new build where trusses and covering should be one brief
- ↗Underlay specified with the covering, not as a separate shop
- ↗A Strand or Gordon's Bay new roof named on the quote
- ↗Flashings, fascia and barge fitted with the covering
- ↗A written scope after a visit, not a hardware list taken home to fit

Somerset West site considerations
New roofs planned for the local site.
Somerset West Roofing provides roofing services in Somerset West. The address, access, existing condition and intended result are reviewed before the work is scoped.
Access and working space
Property access, parking, neighbouring boundaries and working space vary across Somerset West and can change how the project is planned. This is checked against the new roofs scope.
Levels, water and existing work
The existing surface, finished levels and water path are checked at the actual Somerset West address before recommendations are made. This is checked against the new roofs scope.
Use, load and finish
The specification is matched to how the area will be used, the expected load and the finish the property needs. This is checked against the new roofs scope.

Straight answers
Questions about new roofs.
Final recommendations depend on the site. These are useful starting points.
Do you install new roofs in Somerset West, or only sell sheeting?+
We install. Specify, then fit. We are not a sheeting warehouse and not a supply-only counter.
Which coverings do you install on a new roof?+
Clay and concrete tile, IBR, concealed-fix metal, and a flat covering where the plan asks for one. The visit picks the system.
Is a new roof the same as a replacement?+
No. New roofs go on new structure or an extension. Replacement is a covering that has to come off first. Different card.
Do you supply and erect trusses with the covering?+
When the brief includes them. Trusses have their own page. Covering-only installs are still this page.
Will you quote from a sheet count without a visit?+
Photos plus the suburb start the quote. The visit sets covering, access and edges. We will not invent a photo-only price as policy.
Do you roof new builds and extensions?+
Yes. Name the town and the access. We will not invent a list of estates.
Is torch-on part of a new roof?+
On a flat section or a parapet it can sit in the same scope. The torch-on page holds that remainder. This page stays the install.
Do you publish prices or a warranty year on this card?+
No Rand figure and no written warranty year. Access, covering type, extent and structure shape the quote after the visit.
