- Scheltema specialises in the renewal and repair of existing roofs for builders and/or private homeowners.
- This work entails either roof cover replacement, or a more comprehensive replacement that also requires timber frame re-enforcement and/or replacement.
- Scheltema has both the experience and expertise to remove existing roof coverings during inclement weather, while buildings remain occupied at minimal disruption to the home owner. This has been done on a large scale in recent years at Groote Schuur Hospital and UCT during extensive refurbishments of these heritage sites.
- The company offers homeowners a free assessment together with a report and quotation if required. Expert advice such as the type of new roof coverage required and the capacity of the existing roof structure to accommodate various coverings is available.
- Scheltema is a certified asbestos removal contractor and therefore qualified to remove and correctly dispose of asbestos slate and Big Six Profile roof-sheets.
- All products used are both SABS approved and environmentally sustainable.
- Eco-roofing incorporating rainwater harvesting and solar installations is available upon request.
Much of the work in this area is small scale or of a minor works nature, either for builders or landowners directly. More significant contracts would include the upgrade and refurbishment of council facilities at Uitsig, Scottsdene and Hanover Park for the City of Cape Town; major re-roofing projects for both UCT and Groote Schuur Hospital, amongst others.
