Slate Roof Repairs for Johannesburg homes and businesses

Want to know more first? Our slate roof repairs guide covers the options, what to check and what affects the price.

Slate, stone and weather in Johannesburg

Johannesburg has one of the deepest slate and stone markets in the country. Older northern suburbs and Parktown-era homes include heritage slate roofs, while newer estates use slate for entrance halls, patios, pool surrounds and braai walls. Highveld hail can crack roof slates, summer storms drive water across stoeps, and winter frost punishes loose paving. Dry winters also dry out sealers, so re-sealing is common. Tile shops, stone and paving yards and builders' merchants are spread from Sandton to the West Rand, and delivery across the metro is standard.

Frequently asked questions

What will it cost in Johannesburg?
It depends on the area in m², the surface the slate goes onto, the type of slate, access and how soon you need it done. Send the form with your measurements and a roofer working in Johannesburg will quote you.
Will someone come out to measure?
Most installers prefer to see the site before they give a final price, especially for floors on old screeds, walls and roofs. Give your suburb and a rough size on the form, and the person quoting will arrange a visit if needed.
Can they supply the slate as well?
Many can. Choose "Supply and install" on the form and say what colour and finish you like. If you have already bought the slate, choose "Installation only" and give the tile size and how much you have.
