Comprehensive Roof Repair Services for Industrial, Commercial & Retail Buildings

Roof repairs fix a fault that has already occurred, such as an active leak, storm or hail damage, corroded sheeting or a failed flashing. Sicon Group repairs industrial, commercial and retail roofs across all nine provinces of South Africa, diagnosing the source of the problem rather than patching the symptom, and repairing it so the roof returns to a watertight and compliant condition.

With rapid-response crews operating nationwide and more than 25 years of experience, we minimise downtime and prevent further damage to stock, plant and interiors. Where a roof has deteriorated beyond economical repair we also carry out full roof restoration, and a scheduled roof maintenance programme reduces how often repairs are needed at all.

Why Roof Repairs?

A roof fault rarely stays contained. Water entering through a failed seal or a corroded sheet spreads along purlins and into insulation, ceilings and stock, so a delayed repair usually costs far more than the repair itself would have.

  • Prevent Structural Damage: Timely repairs stop minor faults from becoming costly structural failures
  • Restore Watertight Protection: Eliminate active leaks before they damage stock, ceilings & equipment
  • Minimise Disruption: Fast repairs keep business operations running without downtime
  • Avoid Premature Replacement: Repairing early extends roof life and defers major capital spend
  • Improve Safety & Compliance: Sound repairs keep the roof structurally safe and standards-compliant
  • Protect Property Value: A leak-free, well-repaired roof safeguards resale and rental value

What Is Sicon Group's Roof Repair Process?

Every Sicon Group repair follows the same five stages. The fault is diagnosed before anything is quoted, so the repair addresses the cause rather than the visible symptom.

Fault Diagnosis & Leak Detection

Every repair starts with finding the true source of the problem. Using moisture tracing, infrared imaging and detailed visual inspection, we pinpoint exactly where and why your roof is failing, whether that is a hidden leak, corroded sheeting or a failed seal, so the repair fixes the cause and not just the symptom.

Leak & Waterproofing Repairs

Once the source is confirmed, we seal it for good. We repair failed waterproofing, joints and penetrations using the right system for your roof, whether liquid membrane, torch-on, performance acrylic or polyurethane, restoring a fully watertight surface that withstands humidity, ponding and weather.

Rust & Corrosion Repair

Corroded metal is treated, halted and protected. We remove rust, repair or replace compromised sections and apply high-performance protective coatings that stop oxidation spreading, reflect UV and extend the life of the repaired surface.

Structural Repairs & Reinforcement

We repair and reinforce corroded purlins, loose sheeting, broken fasteners and failing flashings, restoring your roof's load-bearing capacity and integrity with durable materials and engineering precision. This ranges from a single localised fix to a large-scale refurbishment.

Sheet, Tile & Panel Replacement

Where damage is beyond repair, we replace it seamlessly. Cracked sheets, dislodged tiles and storm-damaged panels are swapped for matching materials and correctly fastened, leaving the roof watertight, secure and visually consistent.

What Are the Signs Your Roof Needs Repairs?

The five most common signs an industrial or commercial roof needs repair are active leaks or water staining, rust and corrosion on metal sheeting, cracked or loose components, peeling or blistering paint, and a sudden rise in energy costs caused by wet insulation. Any one of them means the roof has already started to fail.

Leaks and Water Damage

Persistent water ingress affects structural integrity and saturates insulation materials, causing further deterioration. Various factors contribute to leaks, including damaged, deteriorated or aged waterproofing, or the absence of waterproofing altogether. Each needs a targeted repair before the damage spreads.

Rust and Corrosion

Moisture infiltrates uncoated and unprotected roof substrates. The steel core starts to oxidise, accelerating the spread of rust. Rusted metal weakens as its density reduces, shortening the material's lifespan. Left unattended, the affected sheets ultimately have to be replaced.

Damaged Roof Components

Cracked sheeting, loose flashings, broken purlins or dislodged tiles weaken the structural system of an industrial roof. These damaged components expose the building to leaks and debris intrusion and pose a safety risk, especially under wind load or heavy rainfall. In severe cases, unattended structural damage can lead to partial collapse.

Peeling or Blistering Paint

Blistered or peeling paint signals underlying issues such as UV degradation, trapped moisture or incompatible coatings. Poor surface preparation, low-quality materials or coating over incompatible substrates can all lead to delamination. These failures affect appearance and expose the roof to further deterioration, so proper preparation and recoating are needed to restore protection.

Higher Energy Bills & Insulation Failure

Sudden increases in energy costs may point to waterlogged or deteriorated insulation, or degraded reflective coatings. Damaged insulation reduces thermal performance, forcing HVAC systems to work harder in large-scale industrial spaces. Repairing insulation and heat-reflective coatings restores indoor temperature control and reduces operational costs.

Roof Repair FAQs

How quickly can Sicon Group respond to an emergency roof leak?

Sicon Group runs rapid-response repair crews across all nine provinces and treats active leaks as priority callouts. To report a leak, call 083 345 4649 rather than using the contact form, so the job reaches a crew directly. An inspection establishes the source of the water before any repair is quoted, because the visible drip is often some distance from the actual failure point.

Should a damaged roof be repaired or replaced?

Repair is usually the right choice while the roof structure and the majority of the sheeting are sound, even where corrosion, leaks or storm damage look severe. Full roof restoration or replacement becomes the better option when corrosion has spread through most of the sheets, purlins have failed structurally, or repeated repairs are no longer holding. A Sicon Group inspection establishes which applies before anything is quoted.

What does a roof repair cost?

Roof repairs are quoted per job rather than per square metre. The cost depends on the cause of the fault, how much of the roof is affected, the height and access arrangements, and the materials needed. Sicon Group provides a free roof inspection with a photographic report and a no-obligation written quotation, so the scope and price are agreed before any work starts. A single repair costs a fraction of a neglected roof left to fail.

What types of roofs does Sicon Group repair?

Sicon Group repairs metal sheeting including IBR and corrugated profiles, concrete and flat roofs, and tiled roofs, on industrial, commercial and retail buildings as well as multi-unit residential complexes. Asbestos cement sheeting is sealed or encapsulated rather than cut or drilled, and where it is damaged beyond that it is handled through our asbestos removal service. Sicon Group does not take on individual private homes.
