Get Waterproofing QuotesWhat Stellenbosch Properties Commonly Need
- Rising damp treatment. Tide marks and flaking plaster low on walls of older homes.
- Damp assessments. An independent diagnosis before paying for treatment.
- Roof leak repairs. Leaks in student flats and rentals that tenants report late.
- Shower waterproofing. Shared bathrooms in rental units with failed grout and seals.
- Metal roof waterproofing. Sheds, cellars and outbuildings with IBR or corrugated roofs.
- Acrylic waterproofing. Recoating flat roofs cracked by summer heat.
Hot Summers, Wet Winters
- Heat and UV. Hot summers crack old acrylic, sealants and exposed torch-on.
- Winter rain. Rain arrives with cold fronts, so problems show up in the wet months.
- Timing. Planned work is easier in the dry season, before rental turnover and the rains.

Get Waterproofing QuotesWhat Affects the Quote
- Wall length and height. Rising damp is priced per metre, and replastering adds most of the cost.
- Tenant access. Occupied rentals may need work done in stages or between leases.
- Building type. Farm buildings and cellars often have larger roofs and harder access.
- Heritage approvals. Visible changes to some older buildings may need approval first.
Rentals and Student Flats
- Act early. Small leaks reported late turn into ceiling and mould damage.
- Plan around tenants. Schedule bathroom and roof work between leases where possible.
- Keep records. Written reports and guarantees help with future tenants and buyers.
Older and Heritage-Sensitive Buildings
Older walls are often thick and built without a modern damp-proof course. Some buildings need approval for visible changes, so check before work changes the look of a roof or facade.
- Ask whether the plaster system suits older walls.
- Ask how long walls need to dry before painting.
Waterproofing Stellenbosch FAQs
Do I need approval to waterproof an older building?
Most waterproofing does not change how a building looks, but visible changes to some older or protected buildings may need approval. Check before you start.
Is rising damp common in older Stellenbosch homes?
It is common in older houses without a working damp-proof course. An assessment confirms whether it is rising damp or another cause.
Can a rental shower be fixed without retiling?
If the grout and silicone have failed, a regrout and reseal may be enough. A failed membrane means lifting tiles.
Can farm sheds and cellars be quoted too?
Yes. Say the building type and roof size in your request so suitable contractors respond.
