Our head office is in Bloubosrand, so most Randburg visits are a short trip. We work across the municipality, including Ferndale, Blairgowrie, Randpark Ridge, North Riding, Olivedale and Northcliff, and near Malibongwe Drive and Beyers Naudé Drive. The roofs we are called to are usually tiled houses, sectional-title complexes, and low-rise commercial buildings with a flat concrete section, a parapet or a box gutter letting in water.
Common waterproofing problems in Randburg
The faults we find most often are split parapet flashings, torch-on that has lifted on a flat garage or a later addition, coatings cracked by Highveld sun and afternoon storms, and open joints around pipes and skylights. A damp patch on a ceiling in Ferndale or Blairgowrie only shows where the water ends up. We go onto the roof and find the entry point, and we will say so if a broken tile or a blocked gutter is to blame rather than failed waterproofing.
Roofs and details we waterproof
In Randburg that usually means flat concrete slabs on houses and complexes, torch-on membranes that have blistered or cracked, and tiled or sheeted roofs where only the flashings, valleys or parapets have failed. Work is carried out to SABS standards.
Waterproofing deals with the roof surface itself: flashings, valleys, parapets, box gutters, flat sections and worn coatings. Rising or penetrating damp in the walls is a separate job; see our damp proofing page if that is what the inspection points to. We look at the roof first, explain the cause, and quote before any work starts.
For the wider service, see roof waterproofing and flat roof waterproofing. If the leak needs a repair of the covering rather than a coating, see roof repairs in Randburg. We also waterproof roofs in Sandton, Johannesburg and Midrand. To arrange a visit, request an onsite inspection or contact us. Call 011 887 8555 or email sales@visroof.co.za. We are open Monday to Friday 8:00-17:30 and Saturday 10:00-13:00.

How we waterproof a roof in Randburg
Because we are based in Bloubosrand, a Randburg inspection is usually a short trip, and we do it in person. We walk the covering, check the flashings and outlets, and look at any flat or concrete section in daylight, not from a photograph. We then set out whether a repair of the existing system, a new coating or a membrane is the right next step.
Flat sections, coatings and membranes
On a flat concrete roof in Randpark Ridge, or a box gutter behind a parapet on a complex in North Riding, we check the existing system, the upstands and the outlets, and explain what the roof actually needs. See our flat roof waterproofing page for more on that type of surface. Planned roof maintenance can follow, and if the covering is past a local repair we will talk you through re-roofing.
What we look at on a Randburg roof
A typical visit covers the tiles or sheeting, the flashings at pipes, skylights and abutments, the gutters and outlets, and every flat or concrete bay. Highveld thunderstorms and long dry spells are hard on coatings and joints. We describe what we have found and quote only for the waterproofing or related repair that will fix it.

Roof waterproofing Randburg FAQs
When does a Randburg roof need waterproofing rather than a repair?
Waterproofing is the right job when water is entering through a failed coating, membrane, flashing, parapet or box gutter. If a broken tile, a slipped sheet or a blocked gutter is the cause, a local repair of that detail will last longer than a new coating. We inspect first and quote for the work that will actually stop the leak.
Do you waterproof flat roofs in Randburg?
Yes. Many Randburg houses and complexes have a flat concrete garage, a later addition or a low-pitch section that needs a coating or a membrane. We check the existing system, the upstands and the outlets, then explain the work required. Our flat roof waterproofing page has more on that type of roof.
Do you waterproof roofs in Ferndale, Randpark Ridge and North Riding?
Yes. We travel from our head office in Bloubosrand to those suburbs and the rest of Randburg, including Blairgowrie, Olivedale, Northcliff and the areas around Malibongwe Drive and Beyers Naudé Drive. Each of those suburbs already has its own roof waterproofing page where one exists. We inspect first and quote only for the work the roof needs.
Is roof waterproofing in Randburg the same as damp proofing?
No. Waterproofing is for rain entering at the roof: flashings, valleys, parapets, box gutters and flat sections. Damp proofing is a different treatment, usually for rising or penetrating damp in the walls. If the visit points to wall damp rather than a roof leak, we will say so and point you to our damp proofing page.
