The existing IBR flat roof is leaking. It is an extension to an old Claremont house and the flat roof covers the kitchen area. It has a ceiling which will need some touch up and repainting. I am wanting to replace the roof with either Galvinised IBR 0.5mm or Chromadek IBR 0.5mm. I estimate we will need 13 IBR sheet (about 9 m wide) of 4,5m lengths.
I have an open balcony on top of a concrete slab. Under the balcony is my scullery as well as a bedroom. Between the tiled floor and the wall around the balcony, water is leaking into the scullery and bedroom. The leaks are only just where the roof and the wall meets, not any other places on the roof. In the corner of the bedroom you can also see the damp on the wall, just opposite the one outlet of the water on the balcony.

Good day. We are planning to move into a house, but the thatched roof is leaking. I can see the black underlayer, as it is sticking out. It seems as if there is no underlayer, or if the wiring got loose. The area, according to me, which need to be fixed is about 2x2 meters. Kindly send me a quote on a worst case scenario. Thank you! Regards
I have the black slated tiles on my roof and with time and winds they have been moving slightly everytime the rains and winds come and go. I need a contractor to look at and give me a quotation at their earliest convenience. Rgds This would be expected to start immediately. My address is:13 Willasdale Place, Bonnie Doone, East London.
The bathroom, laundry & garage had been added to the existing house and sone time after the initial build, the corrugated roof of this new structure (which includes these 3 areas) was raised. When it rains, it leaks into the old structure on one side (that we are aware of) where the old and new structures meet..
Roof was waterproofed - rubberized - one coat of protective silver paint applied - one sheet got cracked...not sure what happened - worker walked on wrong spot or dropped something ? - big crack in the one sheet dont want to call on previous suppliers as their quote was wrong, their estimate was wrong - they asked for more money after quoting etc
