Roof waterproofing, leak repair, roof repairs, flat roof waterproofing, damp-proofing, and shared roofs for bodies corporate. Choose the service that matches what you need.
We connect homeowners, landlords and bodies corporate across the Johannesburg metro with independent waterproofing contractors for the services below. Each has its own page that explains what the work involves, the signs that you need it, how a contractor usually goes about it and what moves the quote. Where there is a local page for your suburb, it is linked under the service.
Not sure which you need? Describe the roof and the problem on the contact form and choose "Something else". We will work out which kind of contractor to pass it to.
A waterproofing system is not a tin of paint. It is a chosen layer over a prepared surface, and it lasts as long as the surface under it. We connect you with an independent Johannesburg waterproofing contractor who assesses the roof and quotes you directly.

When water is coming in, the first job is to find where it enters, not where it lands. A leak repair is a search before it is a repair. We connect you with an independent contractor who covers your suburb and can trace and fix the leak.

Not every roof problem needs a new layer over the top. Sometimes the honest fix is a repair: a tile replaced, a flashing renewed, a ridge re-pointed, a gutter cleared. We connect you with an independent contractor who repairs Johannesburg roofs.
A flat roof is not really flat. It needs a fall to move water to an outlet, and it needs a membrane that can take standing water, heat and traffic. We connect you with an independent contractor who waterproofs Johannesburg flat roofs.

A damp patch on a wall is a symptom, and it has several possible causes: rising damp from the ground, water getting in from outside, a roof or gutter leak, or plain condensation. They need different trades, so the cause comes first.
A complex roof is a shared asset, and the decision to waterproof it runs through the trustees, the levy and sometimes a special resolution. We connect bodies corporate, managing agents and homeowners with an independent contractor who works on shared roofs.
A roof repair fixes a fault: a tile, a ridge, a flashing, a fastener, a gutter. Waterproofing covers the roof as a whole with a system chosen for the surface. A repair is the right answer when one detail has failed and the rest of the roof is sound; waterproofing is the right answer when the surface itself has reached the end of its life. A contractor should tell you which you need, and why.
It is also worth separating a leak from a damp problem. Water that shows on a ceiling usually comes through the roof or a gutter. Damp low on a wall is more often damp-proofing - rising damp, water entering from outside, or condensation - and it needs a diagnosis before it needs a treatment.
We do not waterproof, repair or inspect roofs, we do not set contractors' prices and we do not warrant their work. We do not publish prices, ratings or credentials that nobody has confirmed. The contractor quotes you directly and is responsible for the work. Read how Roof Waterproofing Johannesburg works, and our guide to what moves a waterproofing quote.
