Roof Sheeting Maintenance & Painting in Arcadia, Pretoria

Location: Arcadia, Pretoria
Service: Roof Sheeting Maintenance & Painting

A corrugated metal roof in Arcadia had reached the point where surface rust was breaking through the old paint film and the joints had started letting water in. The homeowner needed more than a quick touch-up — the sheeting had to be properly treated, resealed, and repainted before the damage spread further, a job that called for real roof painting and remedial work.

The problem

Years of sun and rain had worn through the roof’s protective coating. Flaking paint exposed bare metal along the ribs and screw lines, and in several spots surface rust had eaten right through the sheeting, leaving open holes where water could pour straight into the roof space. The waterproofing on the joints and screw fixings had also broken down, so every seam and fastener was a potential leak point. Left untreated, corrosion like this only accelerates — what starts as a few rust spots becomes structural sheet replacement.

The Eco Seal solution

Eco Seal’s crew worked across both the main house roof and the patio roof, following a proper remedial sequence rather than just painting over the problem:

1. Clean and prep — the entire roof area was washed down, and flaking sections were cleaned back by hand to expose sound metal.
2. Rust treatment — a rust converter was applied to all corroded sections to neutralise active corrosion before any coating went on.
3. Reseal the joints — waterproofing was renewed along the roof joints and screw lines, closing off the seams that were letting water through.
4. Prime — repaired and treated sections were primed to give the topcoat a stable, adhesive base.
5. Topcoat — two full layers of high-quality roof paint were applied across the main roof and patio roof for a durable, UV-resistant finish.

As an approved SealPro applicator, Eco Seal used SealPro’s roof coating system to make sure the rust conversion, waterproofing and topcoat all work together rather than as separate patch jobs.

The result

The roof went from a faded, rust-mottled surface with active leak points to a uniform, richly coated green finish across every ridge and valley. The joints and screw lines are sealed, the rusted sections are treated and covered, and the sheeting now has a fresh coating protecting it from the next few years of Pretoria sun and summer storms. The homeowner has a roof that looks sharp from the street and is no longer letting water in — the same roof repairs and waterproofing we deliver across Pretoria East.
