Slate, stone and weather in Cape Town
Cape Town mixes mountain, sea and wine-country weather, so slate is used differently by suburb. Atlantic Seaboard homes face salt and wind, Southern Suburbs and Constantia have large gardens, pools and Cape Dutch houses, and Victorian terraces in Woodstock and Observatory still carry original slate or iron roofs. Winter rain and damp keep shaded stone wet, so a non-slip cleft finish, falls and sealing are important. Heritage controls apply to many older buildings. Wind-driven rain finds weak flashings and wet screeds cause efflorescence. Tile shops, stone and paving yards and builders' merchants are plentiful across the metro, and suppliers deliver to the Peninsula, Winelands and West Coast.
Typical slate roof repairs requests in the area come from:
- Coastal and holiday homes: replacing corroded fixings and wind-lifted slates on roofs exposed to salt air
- Older and heritage homes: careful repairs and re-fixing on older slate roofs, matching original slate and fixing methods
- Suburban homes: replacing a few cracked or slipped slates after a storm on a family home roof
- Security and golf estates: repairs on estate roofs that must match the colour and layout agreed with the committee
- Townhouses and complexes: repairing shared slate roofs in a complex, usually arranged through the managing agent or body corporate
- New builds and developments: snagging slate work on a new roof before handover, such as loose or chipped slates
