Roof & Structural Repair in a Bali villa

Structural problems are the ones villa owners most want to ignore and least can afford to. Bali's climate and the alang-alang, timber and bamboo loved in villa roofs make for a perfect storm: termites eat unprotected timber silently, wet-season rain finds every weak point in a roof, and ground movement on sloping sites opens cracks that only get wider. We deal with the unglamorous structural layer — the part that has to be right before any finish is worth applying.

What We Repair

Roof Leaks & Recovering

Tracing and sealing leaks, replacing failed sheets or shingles, re-thatching alang-alang and re-flashing junctions that monsoon rain exploits.

Termite & Rot Treatment

Treating and replacing termite-eaten or rotted timber in roofs, beams and joinery, with preventive treatment so it does not return.

Beams & Columns

Repairing or replacing failed structural timber and concrete, reinforcing spans and correcting sagging or movement.

Foundations & Cracks

Diagnosing settlement, underpinning where needed and repairing the cracks that movement on Bali's slopes causes.

Why Structural Issues Can't Wait in Bali

A small roof leak in the dry season is a five-month wet-season disaster waiting to happen — water tracks along beams, rots structure, and ruins ceilings and finishes far from the entry point. Termites work invisibly until a beam is hollow. The honest message we give every client: structural problems are the cheapest to fix early and the most ruinous to delay. Once a villa is sound, it is the right time for the finishing trades — waterproofing and painting, new flooring, or a wider full renovation. We always sequence structure first.

What Structural Repair Costs

Because every structural job is different, we quote after a proper inspection — but as a guide, a roof leak repair starts around IDR 8 million, termite treatment with timber replacement runs IDR 25–80 million, and major beam, foundation or re-roofing work is priced from a written survey. A standalone structural survey is IDR 3 million, credited against any work that follows. See the pricing page.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you do structural inspections before buying a villa?
Yes — a standalone structural survey is IDR 3 million and we provide a written report on roof, timber, beams, foundations and damp. It is credited against any repair work you then commission with us.
How do I know if I have termites?
Hollow-sounding timber, fine mud tubes on walls or beams, discarded wings near windows, and timber that crumbles when pressed are the signs. We can inspect, treat the active infestation and replace what is already damaged.
Can you repair an alang-alang (thatch) roof?
Yes — we re-thatch, repair the timber structure underneath, and can fit a hidden waterproof membrane layer that dramatically extends the life of a traditional thatched roof in the wet season.
My villa has cracks in the walls — is it serious?
It depends. Hairline cracks are often cosmetic; stepped or widening cracks, especially on sloping sites, can signal settlement. We inspect, diagnose the cause, and only recommend structural work when it is genuinely needed.
