Damp and leaks can come from the roof, a terrace or an outside wall, or rise from the ground. Proposals are only comparable when they treat the same cause on the same area.
What should a roof or wall waterproofing brief include?
A waterproofing brief should say where the water or damp appears and since when, whether it shows only after rain or all year, the area in square metres if you know it, the roof or terrace type, photos inside and outside, and any earlier repairs.
What should a waterproofing proposal list?
A waterproofing proposal should list net, VAT and gross separately; the area to be waterproofed in square metres; surface preparation; the system or product type and number of layers; how drains, parapets, corners and joints are treated; whether insulation is included; duration; the contractor's warranty; and payment stages tied to finished work.
Why do two waterproofing proposals differ so much in price?
They often cover a different area or use a different system. One may include full surface preparation and treatment of drains, parapets and joints; another may only coat the surface. Compare what is included first.
When should a roof be waterproofed in Cyprus?
Most waterproofing systems need dry weather, so many owners plan the work before the rainy season. Ask each contractor which conditions their system needs and what happens if it rains during the works.
Is thermal insulation part of roof waterproofing?
Not always. Some roof systems combine waterproofing and thermal insulation; others do not. Ask each contractor to state clearly which one they are pricing.
