- Tile roof waterproofing. Large tiled roofs with long valleys that fill with leaves and needles.
- Roof leak repairs. Leaks at skylights, chimneys and junctions between roof sections.
- Retaining wall waterproofing. Walls holding back wet soil on sloping plots.
- Pond waterproofing. Garden ponds and water features losing water.
- Basement waterproofing. Cellars and lower-level rooms that take water in winter.
- Waterproofing maintenance. Yearly checks on big roofs before the rain.
What High Rainfall and Trees Do
- Blocked valleys. Leaves and pine needles dam water in valleys and gutters until it backs up under tiles.
- Moss and lichen. Holds water against tiles and lifts flashings over time.
- Groundwater. Wet soil pushes water against retaining and basement walls all winter.
- Thatch junctions. Where thatch meets walls, gables or other roofs, flashings and seals often fail first. Thatch itself is a specialist trade.

Get Waterproofing QuotesWhat Affects the Quote
- Roof size and pitch. Big, steep or multi-level roofs take longer and need more safety equipment.
- Digging. Waterproofing the soil side of a retaining wall means excavation, which can cost more than the membrane.
- Garden access. Narrow paths and established gardens slow down material delivery and removal.
- Tree work. Cutting back overhanging branches is usually quoted separately.
Plan Work Around Winter
- Book in summer. Roofs and walls need to be dry for most systems to bond.
- Clean before the rain. Gutters and valleys should be cleared before the first fronts.
- Temporary fixes. An active leak can usually be patched in a dry window and fixed properly later.
Questions to Ask
- Will you clear gutters and valleys as part of the job?
- Is drainage included behind the retaining wall, or only a coating?
- Do you work on thatch junctions, or should I use a thatcher too?
- What written guarantee comes with the work?
Waterproofing Constantia FAQs
Can a coating stop a leaking retaining wall?
Only partly. A coating on the visible face can help, but lasting fixes usually need drainage and a membrane on the soil side.
Should I coat my whole tiled roof?
Not always. Many leaks come from valleys, flashings and broken tiles, which can be repaired without coating the roof.
Who repairs leaks on a thatched roof?
Thatchers handle the thatch. Waterproofing contractors handle flashings, gutters and junctions with walls and other roofs.
How often should a big roof be checked?
Once a year before winter, and after a big storm.
