Our Story
About us and the making of Gauteng's most-trusted name in roofing.
JBC Roof Cover is a third-generation specialised roofing company. What began decades ago as a family trade has, through three generations of hands-on workmanship, grown into one of the largest residential roofing operations in the country.
For more than 30 years we have done one thing — and done it properly. We don’t dabble in adjacent trades or chase the work of the moment. Roofing is what we know. It is what our grandfathers knew, what our fathers refined, and what we have spent our careers raising to a higher standard.
“When it comes to roofing in Gauteng, we are the name in roofing — and the top-rated residential roofing company in the country.”
That reputation wasn’t built on marketing. It was built on roofs. Close to 2,000 homes a year now pass through our care — from new installations and full re-roofs to specialised waterproofing and timber roof erecting. Each one handled by qualified craftsmen who carry forward standards we’ve protected for three generations.
Today, JBC Roof Cover is no longer just a small family business. We operate as a full ecosystem in the roofing space — covering everything from initial consultation through to long-term aftercare. But our scale has never come at the cost of our standards. The same hands-on rigour our family started with still defines every project that carries our name.

Our Mission
To protect every home we touch with workmanship that holds up long after the scaffolding comes down. We do roofing properly, the first time, and we stand behind every project that carries our name.
02
Our Vision
To remain South Africa’s most trusted residential roofing company, not by being the cheapest or the loudest, but by being the standard against which other roofers are measured.
Credentials & Accreditations
Verified by the bodies that set the standards.
In a trade where anyone can hang up a sign, third-party accreditation matters. JBC Roof Cover is registered, qualified, and answerable to the industry’s recognised authorities — every certification below can be independently verified.

Member of South Africa’s specialist body for roofing and waterproofing contractors — a mark of compliance, ethics, and technical competence.

The JBC Guarantee
If our name is on it, we stand behind it.
Workmanship Guarantee
Every JBC Roof Cover installation is backed by our own workmanship guarantee. If the issue is with how it was fitted, sealed, or finished — that’s on us, and we’ll put it right.
Manufacturer & Supplier Warranties
We work exclusively with established South African suppliers and manufacturers whose products carry their own warranties. You’re protected on two fronts, the materials and the hands that installed them.
Honest Aftercare
We don’t disappear after handover. Three generations of reputation depend on every roof staying right — and that’s why our relationship with a homeowner doesn’t end at the final invoice.
Community & Trade
Investing in the people and places we work in.
A roofing company is only as good as the trade it belongs to and the community it serves. We take both seriously.
Local Charity Partnerships
We partner with local Gauteng charities to support causes close to the communities we work in, because the families under our roofs aren’t just clients, they’re our neighbours. Roofing is a privileged trade, and we believe in giving back to the people and places that have allowed us to build what we have over three generations.
Industry Training & Apprenticeships
The South African roofing trade only stays strong if the next generation of craftsmen is trained properly. We actively run on-site apprenticeships and contribute to industry training, passing down the skills, standards, and trade knowledge that built JBC Roof Cover, so the craft outlives any one of us.
