Roof waterproofing in Olivedale, from our Randburg office
We travel into Olivedale, in Randburg, to waterproof roofs on houses, complexes and commercial buildings, including the areas towards North Riding, Sundowner and Boskruin.
Common waterproofing problems we fix
On Olivedale roofs we waterproof flat concrete sections, joints and parapets, and we repair or replace failed torch-on membranes where that system is already in place. Leaks often show at abutments, outlets and older coatings after summer storms.
How the inspection and quote work
A waterproofing visit in Olivedale starts with an inspection, not a product pitch. We look at the existing system, tell you where water is getting in, and quote for that work only after we have seen the roof. 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
Flat concrete roofs are a regular part of the waterproofing work in Olivedale, along with torch-on membranes, joints and parapets on otherwise tiled or sheeted roofs. We inspect the existing system first. 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.
For the wider service, see roof waterproofing, flat roof waterproofing and our Randburg roof waterproofing page. For a dedicated repair rather than waterproofing, see roof repairs in Olivedale. 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 Olivedale
An Olivedale 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 Olivedale instead of waterproofing that will not fix the cause.
Olivedale roofs often leak at flashings, parapets, valleys 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 Olivedale FAQs
When does an Olivedale 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 Olivedale?
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 Olivedale 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.
