Roof and terrace waterproofing in Marbella
Leaks, stains on the top-floor ceiling or water coming through into the garage. We find where the water gets in and repair it, on roofs, roof terraces and terraces, for communities and for private homes.
Roof and terrace waterproofing
When waterproofing is needed
Water does not always get in where the stain appears. These are the signs that the roof or the terrace no longer protects.
- Leaks or damp stains on the top-floor ceiling.
- Roofing felt or roof paint that is lifting, cracked or blistered.
- Puddles that take days to dry.
- Water coming through into the garage or the premises below a terrace or a swimming pool.
- Junctions with walls, drains or joints that have opened up.
If it is not clear where the damp is coming from, we write a report with photos so that the community knows what needs repairing and why.
Step by step
How we waterproof a roof
The membrane lasts as long as the preparation underneath it. That is why most of the work is done before it is applied.
Inspection and cleaning
We inspect and clean the whole surface and take the debris to the tip.
Making good
We repair the areas in poor condition and level with mortar where needed.
Weak points
We treat drains, coving (the curved joint between floor and wall), junctions with walls and fixings, which is where water usually gets in.
Primer
We apply a primer suited to the surface over the whole area, so that the membrane bonds.
Membrane
Liquid polyurethane membrane in two coats, with reinforcing mesh in the coving.
Finish
Finishing coat that protects the membrane, snagging and final clean.
Good to know
Two options, so the community can choose
On roofs we usually present two options for the same job. The membrane material and the years of guarantee are different. Each one comes with its price and the community decides.
Waterproofing is done in dry weather. If it rains, we wait.
We also repair tiled roofs, install gutters and waterproof terraces, roof voids and areas under swimming pools.

Before you call
What people usually ask us
Where is the damp coming from?
Not always from where the stain appears. The first thing is to find where the water gets in. We come and have a look and, if needed, we give you a report with photos.
Does the roof surface have to be taken up?
Not always. The liquid membrane is applied over the existing surface, once it is clean and repaired. If the surface is badly damaged it has to be made good first, and that is seen at the visit.
How long does waterproofing last?
It depends on the material. In the quote we present the options with the years of guarantee for each one.
Can waterproofing be done in winter?
Yes, as long as the weather is dry. If it rains, we wait for the surface to dry.
How much does it cost to waterproof a roof?
It depends on the area, the condition of the surface and the material chosen. The visit and the quote are free of obligation.
What happens if damage appears that could not be seen before?
We tell you before touching anything. That work is priced separately and is only done if the client approves it.
