Get Waterproofing QuotesCommon Problems in Older Simon's Town Buildings
- Roof leak repairs. Old corrugated and tiled roofs leaking at laps and flashings.
- Rising damp treatment. Damp low on thick older walls without a working damp-proof course.
- Wall waterproofing. Cracked render letting wind-driven rain into walls.
- Retaining wall waterproofing. Walls holding back the slope behind houses.
- Metal roof waterproofing. Corroded sheets, screws and gutters near the harbour.
Older Buildings and Approvals
- Visible changes. Changing roof sheeting, colours or finishes on older buildings may need approval. Check before work starts.
- Breathable materials. Older walls often need breathable plasters and paints; sealing them in can trap damp.
- Like for like. Ask for repairs that match the original materials where possible.

Waterproofing Simon's Town FAQs
Do I need approval to replace my roof sheeting?
On some older buildings, visible changes need approval. Check with the municipality before work starts.
Why is the damp worse after I painted the wall?
Non-breathable paint can trap moisture in older walls. A breathable system may be needed.
Can old corrugated roofs be coated?
Yes, if the sheets are sound. Rust is treated, fixings replaced and a coating system applied.
How long will a roof repair take?
Small repairs often take a day. Full re-waterproofing takes longer and depends on the weather.
