Project Overview
This residential roof in Green Point, Cape Town, had endured years of harsh coastal weather. Dirt build-up, faded paint, and worn waterproofing were putting the home at risk for leaks — especially around the skylights.
The homeowner contacted Wilcote Cape Town for a complete roof transformation — from cleaning through to long-term waterproof protection and a fresh painted finish.
Our Process
1️⃣ High-Pressure Roof Cleaning
We began with an industrial-grade pressure clean, removing years of dirt, moss, and flaking paint. This crucial first step exposed the true condition of the roof, allowing for proper adhesion of waterproofing and paint.
2️⃣ Torch-On & Roof Waterproofing
Next, we applied premium torch-on waterproofing membranes to flat roof sections, creating a durable barrier against leaks. All seams, overlaps, and edges were fully sealed.
3️⃣ Skylight Waterproofing
We paid special attention to the skylights, applying high-quality waterproofing to prevent future water ingress — a common weak point in many roofs.
4️⃣ Professional Roof Painting
Finally, we finished with a UV-resistant roof coating in Black, protecting against Cape Town’s summer sun and restoring the home’s curb appeal.
Before & After Results
The transformation speaks for itself:
Before: Dirty, weathered roof with faded paint and compromised waterproofing.
After: Fresh, clean, fully waterproofed, and beautifully painted — ready for years of protection.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is torch-on waterproofing?
Torch-on waterproofing is a method where a bitumen-based membrane is heated and bonded to the roof surface, creating a durable, seamless barrier that protects against water leaks and weather damage.
