Protect & Extend the Life of Your Roof
Comprehensive Roof Maintenance Services for Industrial, Commercial & Retail Buildings
Roof maintenance is the scheduled inspection, cleaning and servicing of a roof to keep it watertight and extend its working life. Sicon Group runs planned maintenance programmes for industrial, commercial and retail properties across all nine provinces of South Africa, covering roof and gutter inspections, debris clearing, sealant and fastener checks, minor repairs and protective recoating, so small faults are found and corrected before they become leaks.
Backed by more than 25 years of experience and dedicated maintenance teams operating nationwide, we protect your investment and keep your business running without disruption. Where a roof has deteriorated beyond routine servicing, we also carry out full roof restoration and waterproofing.

Our Roof Maintenance Process
Every Sicon Group maintenance programme follows the same five stages, from a full roof inspection through to preventative servicing and minor repairs.
Comprehensive Roof Inspections
A thorough inspection is the foundation of every maintenance programme. We assess sheeting, structural alignment, fixings, drainage and insulation, looking for the early signs of deterioration that go unnoticed from ground level. Minor leaks, rust spots and failing seals are recorded and planned for before they escalate.
Leak Detection & Waterproofing Checks
We routinely check the systems that keep your building dry. Using moisture tracing and infrared imaging, we catch early water ingress and verify that waterproofing, joints and penetrations are still sound, touching up or resealing as needed to prevent leaks developing between visits.
Gutter & Downpipe Cleaning
Blocked gutters are a leading cause of roof damage. We clear leaves, debris and silt, flush and reseal the system and check for corrosion, keeping water flowing freely during storms and preventing overflow, erosion and backup beneath the roof sheets.
Roof Coating & Corrosion Protection
Protective coatings extend roof life and cut long-term costs. During maintenance we refresh coatings that reflect UV, resist moisture and inhibit rust on metal surfaces. This preserves the finish, improves insulation efficiency and slows the deterioration that leads to major repairs.
Preventative Servicing & Minor Repairs
The small jobs that prevent big bills. We tighten loose fasteners, reseal flashings and joints, secure lifted sheeting and handle the minor fixes that keep your roof watertight and compliant between scheduled visits. Full restoration is recommended only when it is genuinely needed.
What's Included in Our Maintenance Programme
A Sicon Group maintenance programme is an ongoing agreement rather than a once-off visit. These five items are what a standard programme covers, with visit frequency set to suit the age, type and use of the roof.
Scheduled Inspection Visits
Regular, planned site visits on a schedule matched to your roof's age, type and use. Consistent inspections mean nothing is missed and small issues are logged and actioned before they grow into costly problems.
Photographic Condition Reports
After every visit you receive a clear, photographic report detailing the roof's condition, any concerns found and recommended actions. This gives you documented proof for your records, insurance and budgeting.
Gutter, Valley & Drainage Clearing
We keep water moving off the roof by clearing gutters, valleys and downpipes of leaves, silt and debris, then check flow and reseal where needed to prevent overflow and pooling.
Fastener, Flashing & Seal Servicing
The detail points that fail first. We tighten loose fasteners, re-secure lifted sheeting and reseal flashings and joints, keeping the weatherproof envelope intact between inspections.
Coating Touch-Ups & Rust Treatment
We treat early rust spots and refresh protective coatings before corrosion takes hold, preserving the finish, improving reflectivity and extending the roof's service life.

Roof Maintenance FAQs
How often should an industrial or commercial roof be maintained?
Most industrial and commercial roofs should be inspected at least twice a year, typically before and after the rainy season, with an additional check after severe hail or storms. Sicon Group sets the frequency of each programme according to the roof's age, material, pitch and exposure. Older roofs, roofs carrying heavy foot traffic and roofs near industrial fallout usually need more frequent visits.
What is the difference between roof maintenance and roof repairs?
Maintenance is planned and preventative. It is scheduled work that keeps a sound roof in good condition, covering inspections, cleaning, resealing and coating touch-ups. Roof repairs are reactive and fix a fault that has already happened, such as an active leak, storm damage or failed sheeting. Most buildings need both, and a maintenance programme reduces how often repairs are needed.
What does a roof maintenance programme cost?
Roof maintenance is priced per programme rather than per visit. The cost depends on the size and type of the roof, how it is accessed, its current condition and how many visits a year it needs. A free roof inspection establishes the condition first, and the quotation that follows sets out the scope and the visit schedule. Preventative maintenance costs a fraction of reactive repair or full roof restoration.
What types of buildings does Sicon Group maintain?
Sicon Group maintains industrial, commercial and retail buildings, including warehouses, factories, distribution centres, shopping centres and office parks. We also maintain multi-unit residential buildings such as complexes, apartment blocks and body corporate properties. Sicon Group does not take on individual private homes. Work is carried out across all nine provinces of South Africa.
