Q: Why is regular roof maintenance so important in Cape Town?
Cape Town’s mix of coastal salt air, high winds, and heavy winter rains can cause roofs to deteriorate faster. Regular maintenance prevents leaks, extends roof life, and avoids costly repairs.
Q: How often should I have my roof inspected?
We recommend at least one thorough inspection per year, plus an additional check after severe storms or high-wind events.
Q: What does professional waterproofing involve?
Our process includes surface preparation, repairing damaged areas, applying industry-grade membranes or coatings, and sealing joints, ridges, and flashings to prevent water ingress.
Q: Can waterproofing help reduce future maintenance costs?
Yes. Effective waterproofing stops leaks before they cause structural damage, helping you avoid expensive repairs and prolonging the life of your roof.
Q: How do I know if my roof needs urgent attention?
Signs include water stains on ceilings, damp walls, visible cracks in the roof surface, lifting or missing tiles, and persistent leaks during rain.
Q: Why choose Wilcote Cape Town for roof maintenance and waterproofing?
We have decades of local experience, use premium waterproofing products, and offer workmanship guarantees to ensure long-lasting protection.
