New estates beside older plots

Midrand's growth along the business belt means two roof ages sit side by side. The newer estate roofs are not worn; when they leak it is at a detail, a flashing or a junction where a roof was extended. The older smallholdings and plots are the opposite: a house, a workshop and outbuildings, often with corrugated sheeting that has been patch-repaired over the years.

Midrand also has a lot of commercial and industrial flat roofs, where waterproofing runs on a maintenance cycle because a leak interrupts a business (source: The Handyman Johannesburg).

What Midrand roofs usually need

On an estate roof, the job is usually a detail repair. On an older plot, it is often sheeting work and flat-roof membranes. On a commercial building, it is a planned membrane over a flat deck. The common thread is that the roof is assessed for its use and its access before a system is proposed.

Planned work on a flat commercial roof

On a Midrand commercial building, waterproofing is usually planned rather than reactive, because a leak over a trading floor or a warehouse is a business interruption. The roof is surveyed, divided into sections, and renewed on a cycle so that the whole deck is not left exposed at once. Homes and plots follow the same logic on a smaller scale.

Frequently asked questions

Do you quote for commercial roofs in Midrand?

Yes. Note the property type in your enquiry, and the contractor assesses the roof for its use and access.

My plot has a house and a workshop. Can both be done?

Yes, and it is usually best to price them separately so you can decide the order.

My new estate roof leaks. Is that a workmanship problem?

On a newer roof a leak is usually a detail or a junction, which is a workmanship question rather than age. A contractor can trace and repair it.
