Windhoek suburb
Roofing in Khomasdal
Khomasdal has a lot of roofs of a similar age and construction, which makes the failure pattern predictable: fixings first, then rust along the fixing line, then the sheets themselves.
Because so many homes here have added carports, patios and rooms over time, the junction between the original roof and the newer structure is the other recurring problem.

What actually goes wrong in Khomasdal
Rust at the fixing line
Once rust runs along a row of screws, re-fixing alone will not hold. That row of sheets is usually near the end of its service life and re-sheeting the section is the durable answer.
Added structures
Carports and patio roofs attached to the house wall need a proper wall flashing chased in. Most are sealed on the surface instead, and that seal fails within a few seasons.
Low pitch and long runs
Low pitch is unforgiving of lap detail. Where pitch is marginal, lap length and sealing matter more than they would on a steeper roof.
When to re-roof
There is a point where each repair buys less time than the last. Being straight about that point is part of the assessment.
