Wynberg and the Southern Suburbs receive significant winter rainfall - more than the Northern Suburbs and comparable to other mountain-adjacent Cape Town areas. This means roofs here typically develop biological growth faster than in drier suburbs and need more frequent attention. Most roofs need repainting every five to seven years.
Biological Growth on Southern Suburbs Roofs
The shaded, moist conditions of Southern Suburbs roofs - particularly south-facing slopes and those shaded by mature trees - are ideal for algae and lichen growth. Fungicidal treatment after pressure washing is non-negotiable. Apply fungicidal solution, allow the recommended dwell time, pressure wash, then tile repair, penetrating sealer and two quality topcoats. Never skip the fungicidal step - growth returns through new paint within one season if not properly treated. See our pricing guide for typical roof painting costs.
