Roof waterproofing in Sandown, from our Randburg office
We travel into Sandown, in Sandton, to waterproof roofs on houses, complexes and commercial buildings, including the areas towards Bryanston, Morningside, Hyde Park and Illovo.
Common waterproofing problems we fix
Waterproofing work in Sandown is usually about a leak at a flat concrete section, a failed torch-on membrane, a cracked joint, or a parapet that is no longer shedding water. We also attend to failed waterproofing at flashings, upstands, box gutters and outlets. We inspect first and quote for the work that will actually stop the leak.
How the inspection and quote work
We inspect the roof on site in Sandown, including flat sections, parapets, joints, membranes and outlets, then explain what we have found and quote for the waterproofing that is actually needed. 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
In Sandown we waterproof tiled, sheeted and flat concrete roofs at the details that need it: torch-on membranes, joints, parapets, flashings, upstands and outlets. See also our flat roof waterproofing page. 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 Sandown
A Sandown 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 Sandown instead of waterproofing that will not fix the cause.
Sandown has a mix of houses, complexes, offices and shops, with tiled, sheeted and low-pitch or flat sections. We inspect the existing system and quote for the work 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.
