Building conditions in Cape Town

Building in Cape Town means planning around winter rain and wind. Most rain falls between May and August, so roofs, parapets and plaster need sound waterproofing, and rising damp in older walls is a frequent repair. The summer south-easter tests roof fixings and loose sheeting, while salt air along the Atlantic Seaboard and False Bay rusts steel lintels, balustrades and fixings. Victorian semis, Bo-Kaap terraces and homes in heritage areas need extra approvals before alterations. The City of Cape Town processes building plans for the whole metro, and renovations, second storeys and granny flats make up much of the work in established suburbs.

Typical roof tiles requests in the area come from:

Homeowners: homeowners tile new houses and extensions or replace hail-damaged tiles on older roofs
Coastal and holiday homes: coastal homes use tiles with clips and corrosion-resistant fixings for wind and salt
Townhouse complexes: body corporates reroof whole blocks in one tile colour so units stay uniform
Township homes and backyard rooms: families extending bigger homes add tiled roofs over new bedrooms and garages
Shops and offices: small offices and retail buildings with pitched roofs specify durable concrete tiles
Guesthouses and lodges: guesthouses and lodges choose clay tiles to match farmhouse or Tuscan-style buildings
