Find the failed unit, not a whole-roof coating
A leak is often a valley, a ridge, a pipe flashing or a broken tile. We look at the covering as a roof, not as a canvas for a membrane.

Roof repairs in Somerset West
Roof repairs in Somerset West: tiles, sheets, flashings and storm damage. Structural repair after a visit. Not a membrane-only leak job.
01
A repair visit should find the failed unit or flashing, say whether the covering can stay, and not become a waterproofing sales page.
This is the structural repairs card for roofs in Somerset West. People search it when a tile has cracked, a sheet has lifted, a flashing has opened, or a storm has pulled a run of covering off. Somerset West Roofing looks at the roof on site, then says repair versus re-roof. We repair roofs we did not originally install. We will not publish a call-out fee on this site, and we will not treat every leak as a membrane job that belongs to a waterproofing pack. A Helderberg leak is often a local failure. Valley flashings open. Ridge pointing cracks. Pipe flashings perish. A tile slips. An IBR sheet rusts at a fixing. Those are roofing repairs: find the source, replace the failed units, reset the flashing. Cape winter rain makes the same failures obvious. That is basin colour, not a survey we ran, and not a reason to invent a pre-winter service window as ours. Storm damage is on this card when the covering can be put back — a run of tiles, a sheet, a barge, a ridge. When the covering is finished across the roof, the honest scope is the replacement card, not a patch that will open again. We will say which. Photos of the roof start the quote; the visit writes the scope. Send the suburb, roof photos, and whether you think it is a repair or a re-roof. We quote from the visit. the contact details on this page contact fields live details. No Rand figure. No invented same-day promise. No warranty year printed as ours.
What good work includes
Scope the complete requirement.
Tiles, sheets, flashings, storm damage
Clay and concrete tiles, IBR and concealed-fix sheets, flashings and storm-pulled runs. Structural repair. The dedicated flashing-source card sits next door so this page stays the live repair search.
Repair versus re-roof is a site call
A tired valley can go back into service. A covering that is spent across the roof may need to come off. We will say which, and we will not stretch a patch.
Not the waterproofing pack's leak card
Membrane-only leak work belongs to a sister pack. This card is the roof: tiles, sheets, flashings, storm damage. Torch-on as part of a roof job has its own page.

Straight answers
Questions about roof repairs.
Final recommendations depend on the site. These are useful starting points.
Why is my Somerset West roof leaking — failed valley flashing, cracked ridge pointing, or a broken tile?+
Often one of those. Sometimes a pipe flashing or a rusted sheet. The visit finds the source. We will not guess a membrane from a photo.
Missing or cracked tiles versus rusted IBR sheets — what gets replaced?+
The failed units, if the rest of the covering has life. If the covering is spent across the roof, replacement is the honest scope.
Do you repair roofs you did not originally install?+
Yes. The visit is the roof in front of us, not a job number we issued.
Is this the same as a waterproofing leak repair?+
No. This page is structural: tiles, sheets, flashings, storm damage. Membrane-only work sits with waterproofing. Torch-on on a roof job has its own page here.
Do you offer a written condition report after inspection?+
The visit produces a written scope. That is the condition of the work we propose, not a survey product we printed as a plan.
Is there a call-out or diagnostic fee?+
We do not invent a fee schedule. Ask when you send the suburb. Competitor 'no call-out' lines are not ours.
Do you publish repair prices?+
No. Access, which units have failed, and whether the covering can stay all shape the quote after the visit.
Is this an all-hours emergency page?+
No. It is a contractor repair card. We will not invent an all-hours roster.
