System selection

How should a roof leakage and waterproofing solution be selected?

We assess the existing membrane, substrate and drainage conditions before recommending a suitable solution.

Workers removing the existing roof build-up and preparing the substrate

01 / Full removal

Roof Waterproofing Decision Guide

Six practical checks before selecting a roof waterproofing solution.

These are initial checks. See the guides below for quotation and project-coordination details; the final system and sequence require a site inspection.

  1. 01

    When should full removal and reconstruction be assessed?

    Assess full reconstruction where the existing system has failed widely, the substrate is unsound or drainage falls need rebuilding.

  2. 02

    How is Polyurea compared with full reconstruction?

    Assess a Polyurea overlay where the substrate can be retained; assess full reconstruction where the substrate, drainage or existing system has failed widely.

  3. 03

    What affects a roof waterproofing quotation?

    Area, access, removal, substrate, drainage details, testing, reinstatement and warranty scope all affect the quotation.

  4. 04

    How should estate, commercial or property-management projects be arranged?

    Define zones, access, user impact, sequence, photographic records, inspection and handover requirements before work starts.

  5. 05

    Why are outlets, parapets and penetrations important?

    Outlets, parapets and penetrations are common junctions and terminations; inspect them with the falls, drainage and existing membrane.

  6. 06

    What information helps with an initial enquiry?

    Send roof-wide and close-up photographs, approximate area, building type and repair history to support an initial assessment.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About Roof Waterproofing

Should a roof be inspected before a waterproofing quotation is prepared?+

Yes. The substrate, cracks, drainage outlets, existing waterproofing layer and leakage locations should be inspected before selecting Polyurea, PU, sheet membrane or another suitable system.

Can property management companies and Owners’ Corporations make an enquiry?+

Yes. Please provide the building type, approximate roof area, leakage locations, photographs and whether a formal quotation document is required.

Can photographs be sent through WhatsApp for an initial assessment?+

Yes. Send an overall roof view together with close-ups of leakage points, drainage outlets, cracks and the existing waterproofing layer so we can assess whether a site inspection is required.

What can be reviewed in the project case galleries?+

The galleries show actual work areas, construction stages, waterproofing details and completed conditions, helping owners and property managers compare projects with similar requirements.

How do you choose between a Polyurea overlay and complete removal and reconstruction?+

The decision depends on adhesion of the existing membrane, substrate moisture, cracking, drainage falls and detail conditions. An overlay may be considered where the substrate remains sound; widespread failure, hollow areas or inadequate falls normally require complete reconstruction.

How is the cost of roof waterproofing calculated?+

Pricing is based on the work area, extent of removal, substrate repairs, detail work, material system, transport and site constraints. An accurate quotation can be prepared after the actual scope has been inspected.

How long does roof waterproofing normally take?+

The programme depends on the work area, substrate condition, required stages, curing time, weather and building operations. A suitable sequence can be proposed after the inspection.

What quality and maintenance records can be provided after completion?+

Depending on project requirements, we can organise progress photographs, material and work-stage records, testing or inspection information, completion documents and maintenance recommendations.

Book inspection

Need a roof waterproofing assessment?
