Roof Tiles for Johannesburg homes and businesses

Homeowners and builders in Johannesburg buy roof tiles for new houses, extensions, reroofs and hail repairs. Independent roof tile suppliers and roofing contractors working across Gauteng can quote for concrete or clay tiles, ridges, underlay and fittings, supplied to site or laid on a properly designed roof.

Building conditions in Johannesburg

Johannesburg has a huge stock of older homes in suburbs such as Melville, Parkhurst and Kensington, where renovations, extensions, new kitchens and bathrooms make up much of the building work. Many of these houses predate modern building regulations, so contractors often find damp, roof leaks and cracked walls to deal with. Rocky quartzite ridges in some suburbs make excavation slower, while clay soils elsewhere need well-designed foundations. Building plans are submitted to the City of Johannesburg, and heritage rules can apply to buildings older than 60 years. Summer hail and thunderstorms regularly damage roofs, and inner-city conversions add commercial and residential refurbishment work.

Typical roof tiles requests in the area come from:

Homeowners: homeowners tile new houses and extensions or replace hail-damaged tiles on older roofs
Township homes and backyard rooms: families extending bigger homes add tiled roofs over new bedrooms and garages
Townhouse complexes: body corporates reroof whole blocks in one tile colour so units stay uniform
Shops and offices: small offices and retail buildings with pitched roofs specify durable concrete tiles
Security and lifestyle estates: estate homes use the tile profile and colour range allowed by the design guidelines
Warehouses and workshops: office blocks attached to industrial buildings sometimes use tiled pitched roofs over admin areas
