Who Repairs Roof Leakage in Ghana?
Roof leakage in Ghana is repaired by waterproofing specialists (best for permanent fixes), general roofers (best for tile/metal damage), and DIY emergency products. For permanent repair with warranty, Fest Ghana Limited offers same-day emergency response in Accra and Tema, nationwide service, and a 3-year workmanship warranty.
Before You Call Anyone — Check the Gutters
This costs us work, so take it as honest. A large share of the "leaking roofs" we are called out to inspect are not leaking roofs at all. The gutter is blocked with leaves, sand and roofing offcuts, water backs up over the gutter lip, and it runs down the inside of the wall. The ceiling stain looks identical either way.
Get someone up there with gloves before you commission anything. Clear the gutters, wait for the next serious rain, and see what is still wet. You may find a GHS 8,000 problem was a GHS 200 problem. If it still leaks afterwards, you have a real membrane failure and the rest of this page applies.
The 3 Types of Roof Leak Repair Providers in Ghana
1. Waterproofing Specialists (Recommended)
Companies that specialise in liquid-applied waterproofing membranes — polyurethane, torch-on, cementitious. Best for permanent repair of concrete flat roof leaks, parapet failures, gutter leaks, and any leak where you want a 20-year design life rather than a patch.
Cost: GHS 300-1,200 for an emergency spot repair, GHS 8,000-13,000 for a full 100 m² roof on a standard two-coat system.
2. General Roofers
Companies focused on tile, metal, and IBR roof installation. Best for damaged or missing tiles, metal sheet replacement, and gutter replacement.
Best for: physical roof damage. Not best for: concrete flat roof waterproofing failures.
3. DIY Emergency Products
For quick temporary fixes before professional repair:
- Plugging King — GHS 100 — stops actively flowing water in seconds
- Butyl Rubber Tape — GHS 250 — seals joints and cracks
- Waterproof Leakage Spray — GHS 200 — spot repair for small leaks
How to Choose Between Them
Several firms offer polyurethane-based systems across Ghana, and you should compare them properly rather than taking anyone's word for it — ours included. Three questions separate a real quote from a cheap one:
- How many kilograms of coating does the price include? A correct two-coat system uses about 0.4 kg per square metre — roughly 40 kg on a 100 m² roof. If a bidder has priced 15 kg for that area, they are not cheaper, they are applying a third of the membrane.
- Is the parapet upstand in the measured area? A flat plan measurement misses every vertical face, and the parapet is where most Ghanaian roofs actually leak.
- What are the warranty terms in writing? Workmanship warranty and material warranty are separate things with separate terms. Anyone quoting a "20-year warranty" on a liquid membrane is quoting design life under the wrong heading — ask to see the document.
