Double-touch torch-on bitumen for long-life sealing on slabs and flat decks.
We trace the source of the leak — not just patch the symptom.
— Local FAQs
Most Cape Town homes spend between R8,000 and R35,000 on a zone re-waterproofing job (one parapet, full chimney, single flat-roof section). Full system replacements start at R30,000. We provide free written quotes with no hidden callout fees in the metro.
We schedule weather-sensitive work between fronts, and use cold-applied liquid systems (rubberised acrylics, PU) for emergency repairs that can be applied to damp substrates. Torch-on bitumen requires dry conditions.
All of them — Atlantic Seaboard, City Bowl, Southern Suburbs, Northern Suburbs, West Coast and Helderberg. See our full suburb list on the Cape Town area page.
A properly installed torch-on or Uniflash system carries a 10-year warranty and typically lasts 12–15 years on Cape Town homes. Coastal properties on the Atlantic Seaboard average 8–10 years due to salt exposure.
