Tile Roof Ridge Waterproofing & Full Repaint in Vereeniging

Location: Vereeniging, Gauteng
Service: Tile Roof Ridge Waterproofing & Full Roof Repaint

This double-storey tiled roof had reached the point where age was starting to show. Cracked ridge cappings, missing pointing, and a handful of broken tiles had left the roof vulnerable to leaks, while the overall finish had faded and dulled over the years. The homeowner called in SealAll Roof Contractors to rebuild the ridge line, seal off the vulnerable points, and refresh the entire roof with a durable coating.

The problem was cracked ridges and a tired, faded finish

Up close, the ridge cappings told the real story. The cement pointing between the ridge tiles had cracked and, in places, crumbled away completely, leaving open gaps along the roofline. One ridge section had slipped out of place entirely and needed to be rebuilt from scratch. Scattered tiles across both the older and newer sections of the roof were cracked or broken, and several had slipped on the flashing. Left unaddressed, gaps like these are exactly where water finds its way into the roof structure during Highveld summer storms.

The SealAll solution: rebuild, waterproof, repaint

The crew worked through the roof section by section:

1. Prep and rebuild – Loose, cracked cement was raked out of the ridge joints and the slipped ridge section was fully rebuilt using the existing tiles on site. Broken and slipped tiles were replaced and resealed.
2. Prime and waterproof the ridges – The prepped ridge substrate was primed, then sealed using a Stretch Seal ridge waterproofing system, an elastomeric membrane built to flex with the roof rather than crack again under thermal movement.
3. Wash and prep the full roof – Every section of tile, old and new, was pressure-washed and cleaned back to a sound, dust-free surface ready to hold a fresh coating.
4. Two-coat roof repaint – The entire roof, including both the newer sections and the original tile roof over the main structure, was coated in two coats of a high-quality roof paint in a slate finish, chosen to match and unify the different roof sections into one consistent look.

SealAll Roof Contractors is an approved SealPro applicator, and this project used SealPro’s Stretch Seal ridge waterproofing system, matched to the tile profile and pitch of the roof.

The result: a sealed, uniform slate-grey roof

The finished roof reads as one cohesive surface rather than a patchwork of old and new sections. Every ridge is sealed and flexible, the previously cracked and slipped tiles are secure, and a fresh slate-grey coating has replaced the faded, uneven tone across the whole roof. The homeowner now has a weatherproofed roof with a clean, uniform finish and the manufacturer-backed protection of a proper waterproofing and coating system.

This is the standard of work homeowners in Vereeniging and across the Vaal Triangle can expect when a tile roof needs more than just a coat of paint — it needs the ridges, the tiles, and the surface all brought back to a sealed, sound condition together.
