Observatory homes are typically larger, established family properties — concrete tile roofs are the norm, with flat roofed garages, entertainment areas and granny flats also common. We handle all of it, from single tile replacements to full re-roofing.
Cape Town's winter rains are the main driver of roof repairs in Observatory — cracked tiles, failed ridge capping and blocked valley liners are the most common causes of leaks in Observatory's larger family homes. We replace tiles, re-bed ridging and re-point capping across Observatory and surrounding suburbs — stopping leaks permanently and at the root cause.
