Frequently asked questions about roofing in Umdloti / eMdloti
How long should a SA roof last?
Concrete tiles: 50+ years. Clay tiles: 60–80 years. IBR or Corrugated steel (galvanised, 0.5mm): 20–30 years; Chromadek-coated: 30–40 years. Thatch: 15–25 years with annual maintenance. Replace if you see >10% sagging trusses, deteriorating underlay (waterproofing membrane), or >20% cracked tiles. SANS 10400-L governs roof structural requirements.
Does a new roof need building plans?
Like-for-like re-tiling does NOT require plans. Changing pitch, profile, or material (e.g. tiles to steel sheeting) DOES require council-approved plans under SANS 10400 and an engineer's structural sign-off. Skylights, solar geyser/PV mounts, and chimney additions all need approval too. Insurance will probe this after any claim.
What waterproofing system suits a flat roof in Cape Town?
Cape Town's winter rainfall (May–Sep) demands UV-resistant systems. Liquid-applied membranes (acrylic, polyurethane) at 1.5–2.5mm dry-film thickness last 8–15 years on concrete decks. Torch-on bitumen sheets work on commercial flat roofs but need experienced applicators (SANS 10079). Demand a 10-year manufacturer warranty + 5-year workmanship warranty in writing.
