Get Waterproofing QuotesCommon Waterproofing Work in Edgemead
- Tile roof waterproofing. Ridges, valleys and cracked tiles on pitched family-home roofs.
- Concrete roof waterproofing. Cracked slabs over extensions, patios and flat-roof homes.
- Wall waterproofing. Outside walls letting in wind-driven rain on exposed sides.
- Shower waterproofing. Showers leaking into walls and passages next door.
- Under tile waterproofing. Bathroom and patio renovations where the membrane is done before retiling.
Walls That Face the Weather
Winter fronts drive rain hard against the wall that faces into the wind.
- Cracks. Hairline cracks in plaster let water in and show as damp patches inside.
- Sills and parapets. Flat sills and parapet tops without a drip or capping hold water against the wall.
- Coatings. An elastomeric or water-repellent coating can help once cracks are repaired.

Get Waterproofing QuotesWhat Affects the Quote
- Wall height. Double-storey walls need scaffolding or a cherry picker.
- Crack repair. The number and size of cracks change the preparation time.
- Finish. Clear repellents, waterproof paints and elastomeric coatings are priced differently.
- Renovation stage. Waterproofing during a bathroom renovation costs less than tearing out tiles later.
Before Work Starts
- Clear space. Move furniture away from damp walls and out of bathrooms being redone.
- Water and power. Contractors need a tap and a plug point.
- Drying time. Coatings and membranes need dry weather to cure, so allow for rain delays in winter.
Questions to Ask an Edgemead Contractor
- Is the damp coming through the wall, up from the floor or from a leaking pipe?
- Will cracks be cut out and filled, or only painted over?
- What coating is used on the wall, and how long does it last?
- Is the shower membrane redone or only the grout and silicone?
Waterproofing Edgemead FAQs
Why is only one wall damp?
It is usually the wall facing the winter rain. Cracks, sills and old paint on that side let water in.
Will waterproof paint fix a damp wall?
Only if rain is coming through sound plaster. Cracks need repairing first, and rising damp needs a different treatment.
Should I waterproof under new bathroom tiles?
Yes. A membrane under the tiles in showers and wet areas is far cheaper to do during the renovation than later.
How long does exterior wall coating take?
A typical house takes a few days, depending on crack repairs, access and weather.
Do I need to be home during the work?
Usually only for access to inside rooms and for the leak test or final check.
