Roofs in Bryanston
Bryanston was first named as an area in 1949 and became a suburb of Sandton in 1969. Houses here have traditionally been fairly large, with big gardens and many trees, and over recent decades many larger properties have been converted into gated communities of several houses.
A large roof has a lot of joins: hips, valleys, ridges and flashings. Keeping them maintained costs far less than repairing the ceilings underneath when something gives. Big trees also mean leaves in gutters and valleys, which hold water on the roof.
In a cluster or gated community, the roofs are often the responsibility of a body corporate or homeowners’ association. We quote clearly enough to take to the trustees.
Worth checking on roofs like these
- Leaves blocking gutters and valleys
- Cracked or slipped tiles, especially on hips and ridges
- Faded or flaking roof paint
- Flashings around chimneys, walls and skylights
- Leaks where additions meet the original roof
