Roofing FAQs

Which type of roof covers do you have?

We have a wide variety of roofing solutions, which include:

How much will my new roof cost?

We pride ourselves in offering a quality-guaranteed full roofing systems as opposed to retailing single roofing products. For this reason, It is not possible to give a ballpark figure of your roof’s cost.

Your roof’s cost will include the roof structure services using either high quality treated timber or eco friendly Milele Light Gauge Steel. Other factors that will affect your cost includes the slope or pitch of your roof, your choice of the roof frame structure and the final roofing cover which can be architectural laminated shingles, single layer roofing shingles, stone coated metal tiles or waterproofing solutions.

Do you offer roofing consultation/advise?

Yes we do! Our team of experts will be able to explain which type of roof will be most ideal for your individual project, based on the pitch or slope of your roof, framing structure and underlay used.

For instance, we have encountered projects where the client had a T&G ceiling and wanted to know the ideal roof cover. In this case, it is cost efficient to use any of our asphalt fiberglass shingles as opposed to our stone-coated metal tiles because the stone coated tiles would need additional battens support that the asphalt shingles do not require.

We have also seen enormous wastage of resources where a client is advised to use waterproofing membranes on a concrete roof and this was completely unnecessary.

We work with partners who are on the front line in Research & Development and this has direct benefits to the client. We are always working towards giving more value to our clients; our products, for example, can be nailed directly on a nailable concrete screed saving you both time and cost – two factors that have a huge impact on the developers objective.

You will always receive the best solution from us.
