Roof waterproofing in Ferndale, from our Randburg office

We travel into Ferndale, in Randburg, to waterproof roofs on houses, complexes and commercial buildings, including the areas towards Blairgowrie, Randpark and North Riding.

Common waterproofing problems we fix

Flat concrete roofs, torch-on membranes, joints and parapets are the waterproofing details we most often work on in Ferndale. We also look at coatings, outlets and box gutters, and we explain whether a repair of the existing system will do.

How the inspection and quote work

Once we are on the Ferndale roof we check the obvious leak and the details around it: upstands, joints, parapets and any torch-on or coated flat section. We then explain the repair and quote for it. 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.

Roofs and details we waterproof

Whether the Ferndale building has a flat concrete roof, a torch-on membrane, or a tiled or sheeted covering with failed joints and parapets, we inspect the existing system and quote for the waterproofing that is needed. Work is carried out to SABS standards.

Waterproofing is for the roof itself – flashings, valleys, parapets, box gutters, flat sections and failed coatings – so that water stays out. If the problem is rising damp in the walls, that is a different job; see our damp proofing page. We inspect first, explain the cause, and quote before we start. Work is carried out to SABS standards.

How we waterproof a roof in Ferndale

A Ferndale roof may be tiled, sheeted or partly flat. Leaks often show up at flashings, parapets, box gutters and older coatings, especially after summer storms. We inspect the roof, identify where water is getting in, and set out whether a repair, a new coating or a membrane is needed. If the leak is coming from a broken tile or a failed gutter rather than from failed waterproofing, we will say so and quote for a roof repair in Ferndale instead of waterproofing that will not fix the cause.

Ferndale roofs, on houses and on business premises, often leak at flashings, parapets, box gutters and older coatings after summer storms. We inspect first and quote only for the waterproofing that is needed. On flat or concrete sections we look at the existing system, the upstands and the outlets. See our flat roof waterproofing page for more on that type of roof.

What we look at

On a typical visit we look at the covering, the flashings around pipes, skylights and abutments, the gutters and outlets, and any flat or concrete sections. We will tell you what we have found in plain language and quote only for the work that is needed.

Roof waterproofing Ferndale FAQs

When does a Ferndale roof need waterproofing rather than a repair?

Waterproofing is for the roof itself – flashings, parapets, box gutters, flat sections and failed coatings. If the leak is coming from a broken tile or a failed gutter, we will say so and quote for a repair instead. A typical visit starts with an inspection, then a quote for the work that is actually needed. Work is carried out to SABS standards.

Do you waterproof flat roofs in Ferndale?

Yes. On flat or concrete sections we look at the existing system, the upstands and the outlets, and we explain whether a coating or a membrane is needed. Roofs in Ferndale are typically tiled, sheeted or partly flat. We waterproof the details that need it, including flashings, parapets and flat sections. See our flat roof waterproofing page for more on that type of roof.

Is roof waterproofing the same as damp proofing?

No. Roof waterproofing is for the roof covering and its details, so that water stays out. Rising damp in the walls is a different job; see our damp proofing page. If both issues are present, we will explain that after the inspection and quote only for the work that is needed.
