Protect your Durban property with expert timber truss replacement and fascia waterproofing. Margate Roofing Waterproofing & Construction restores structural integrity against coastal humidity and storms.
Sub-Structure Timber Repairs & Fascia Waterproofing Replacement in Durban
Discovering sagging rooflines or damp staining along eaves often signals deep-seated timber decay. Durban’s coastal humidity and summer thunderstorms accelerate rot in rafters and fascia boards, compromising roof stability. Margate Roofing Waterproofing & Construction specializes in structural timber repairs and fascia waterproofing replacement, restoring load-bearing capacity while sealing rooflines against future ingress.

- Structural inspections with load distribution analysis
- Temporary propping for safety during replacement

- Composite fascia replacement with waterproofing membranes
- Flashing and gutter resealing for watertight finishes
