Waterproofing & surface protection, built for Dubai.
Leak tracing, roof and balcony membranes, bathroom tanking and tank waterproofing — plus the surface preparation that makes it last: crack repair, efflorescence and salt treatment, mould removal and priming. Systems built for UAE heat, photo proof of every layer, and a written workmanship warranty.
Waterproofing, Membranes & Surface Protection
One in-house team for the whole protect-and-prep scope — roofs, bathrooms, balconies, walls and tanks, plus the crack repair, salt, mould and priming that make every system last. Planned around UAE heat, salt air and occupied homes, across Dubai and the wider Emirates.
Roof & Terrace Waterproofing
Roofs and podium decks take the worst of the UAE — soaring summer slab temperatures, then heavy winter rain. Standard membranes shrink, crack and lift within a few years, and leaks almost always start at the edges, drain outlets and pipe penetrations. We strip the failed system, correct the falls, then seal in proper layers with reinforced detailing at every junction. A cool-roof topcoat is optional and doubles as the waterproof top layer.
- Flat-roof & podium-deck membranes
- UV-stable, heat-tolerant systems
- Old failed layers stripped & falls corrected
- Reinforced detailing at drains, upstands & pipes
- Liquid-applied & PU elastomeric options
- Optional cool-roof reflective topcoat
- Terrace & planter waterproofing
- Photo proof of every layer
Bathroom & Wet-Area Tanking
A bathroom only stays dry when the seal sits behind the tile, on the surface beneath. We lift the tile, prep the substrate, then tank the floor and walls with a flexible cementitious or liquid membrane and reinforced corners — the way the system is meant to be used. Every wet area is flood-tested with photo proof before retiling, so the ceiling below stays dry for good. Tank rooms and plant areas are tanked to the same standard.
- Bathroom & shower-area tanking
- Tile lifted carefully, substrate prepped
- Flexible cementitious / liquid membrane
- Reinforced corners & pipe penetrations
- Water-tank & plant-room waterproofing
- Kitchen & laundry wet-area sealing
- Flood test before retiling, with photo proof
- Dry walls, dry ceilings below — verified
Balcony & External Wall Waterproofing
Balconies, terraces and external walls need a tough, trafficable system that flexes with the building and stands up to sun, salt and foot traffic. We seal exposed decks with an anti-slip finish, protect external walls and parapets against driving rain, and treat damp, rising damp and pool surrounds at the source — not by painting over the problem. Coastal homes get systems chosen for salt and humidity.
- Balcony & terrace deck membranes
- Anti-slip trafficable finish
- External wall & parapet weatherproofing
- Damp & condensation wall coatings
- Rising-damp treatment in older villas
- Pool-surround & wet-area coatings
- Extra protection at joints & thresholds
- Coastal salt & humidity systems
Surface Preparation & Repair
Every waterproofing and paint system is only as good as the surface beneath it. We diagnose why a wall is failing — damp, AC condensation, salt or poor priming — then fix the cause: crack repair with the right flexible filler, efflorescence and salt treatment, biocidal mould removal, skim-coat re-plastering and the correct primer. Active mould and live salt are dealt with before anything goes over them, never painted over. Prep-only jobs are welcome.
- Crack filling & flexible-filler repair
- Efflorescence / salt-stain treatment
- Biocidal mould removal (not painted over)
- Skim coat & re-plastering of damaged walls
- Old flaking paint stripped back to sound surface
- Anti-rust prep for gates, rails & metalwork
- Anti-carbonation & bonding primers
- Dust-controlled sanding in occupied homes
Pricing at a Glance
Starting points for budgeting. Final pricing is fixed after a free leak survey and site visit — never from photos alone. Substrate, exposure and detailing drive the system choice; VAT applicable.
Repainting after the repair? See Exterior Villa Painting and Interior Wall & Ceiling Painting. Protecting a tower or facility? See Commercial Protective Coatings.
Which Waterproofing System Suits Your Surface
The three system families, and where each one fits. We assess the substrate and exposure on the survey, then specify the system built for that exact area — not a one-size-fits-all product.
Indicative guidance only — substrate, exposure and detailing drive the system choice and service life. Your itemised quote is confirmed after a free leak survey.
