Roof waterproofing in Hyde Park, from our Randburg office

We travel into Hyde Park, in Sandton, to waterproof roofs on houses, complexes and commercial buildings, including the areas towards Sandown, Illovo and Morningside.

Common waterproofing problems we fix

Typical waterproofing problems in Hyde Park include failed torch-on membranes, open joints, porous parapets, and worn coatings on flat concrete roofs. We look at those details, explain the cause, and quote only for the waterproofing that is needed.

How the inspection and quote work

On a Hyde Park inspection we walk the flat or concrete sections, check the parapets, joints, torch-on or coated areas, and the outlets, then set out the findings in plain language before we quote. 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

We work on the waterproofing of flat concrete decks, torch-on membranes and the joints and parapets that meet a tiled or sheeted covering in Hyde Park. We do not invent a product name; we quote for the system the roof actually needs. 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.

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 Hyde Park

A Hyde Park 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 Hyde Park instead of waterproofing that will not fix the cause.

On Hyde Park roofs, leaks often start at valleys, flashings and older coatings, especially where a tiled roof meets a flat section. We inspect those junctions first. 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 Hyde Park FAQs

When does a Hyde Park 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 Hyde Park?

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 Hyde Park 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.
