Waterproofing & roof care in Pallissier
Quiet streets, solid family homes and maturing roofs — Pallissier properties protected with the same systems as the city's flagship estates.
Pallissier offers what much of western Bloemfontein wants: established quiet streets and solid, sensibly built family homes. Most date from the 1980s onward, which puts their original roof coatings and ridge mortar at the natural end of life — the stage where restoration is at its most cost-effective, before leaks start doing interior damage.
The suburb's housing stock is dominated by concrete tile roofs with a healthy share of IBR sheeting on extensions, carports and outbuildings. We treat outbuildings as part of the envelope: a rusting carport roof or unpainted boundary wall undoes the protection and the look of a freshly restored house.
Damp calls are steady here too — older damp-proof courses reaching end of life show up as bubbling paint at skirtings. Our damp work starts with diagnosis, not paint: source first, system second, redecoration last.

Local questions
Is restoration worth it on a modest family home, or only big properties?
It is worth more on a family home — the roof is a bigger share of the property's value and the leak risk lands directly on your living space. Systems scale to the house.
Paint keeps bubbling at our skirtings inside. What is happening?
Classic rising damp — moisture wicking up the wall past an expired damp-proof course. Repainting feeds the cycle; a remedial DampEnd system at the source ends it.
Can you do the house, carport and boundary walls as one job?
Yes, and we recommend it — one project, one scaffold/access setup, one colour scheme, better pricing than three separate visits.
