Units, Complexes and Freestanding Homes
- Sectional title units. A leak into your unit may come from common property, so report it to the managing agent first.
- Townhouse complexes. Roofs are often done in one contract so every block gets the same system and guarantee.
- Larger homes. Mixed roofs are common: tiles on the main house and flat concrete over garages or patios.

Get Waterproofing QuotesWhat Affects the Quote
- Number of blocks. Complex-wide jobs are priced per roof area and may be phased.
- Access. Multi-storey blocks need scaffolding, rope access or a cherry picker.
- Tiles on or off. Lifting balcony tiles costs more but fixes the membrane properly.
- Preparation. Stripping old layers and repairing cracks adds to the price.
- Season. Storm season is the busiest time, so book planned work in the dry months.
Storms and Timing
Summer thunderstorms and hail find weak laps, blocked outlets and failed balcony membranes fast. Plan full re-waterproofing for the dry winter months and ask for temporary repairs between storms.
Before Work Starts
- Approval. Trustees or the managing agent approve work on common property.
- Access. Arrange roof access, parking for the contractor and notice to residents.
- Disruption. Torch-on and balcony tile removal are noisy and dusty for a few days.
Questions to Ask
- Is the leak from my unit, the unit above or the roof?
- Will balcony tiles be lifted, or is it a sealer over tiles?
- What system is used and how many coats?
- Is the guarantee in the body corporate's name?
- How will residents' access be managed during the job?
Waterproofing Morningside FAQs
Who pays for a leak into my unit in a complex?
It depends on where the water comes from. Roofs and outer walls are usually common property, while showers inside a unit are usually the owner's. Check with your managing agent.
Can a balcony be sealed without lifting the tiles?
A clear sealer can help with porous grout, but it does not fix a failed membrane under the tiles. An inspection shows which one you need.
How long does a complex roof job take?
Small blocks can take a few days. Larger complexes are often phased over weeks, depending on size and weather.
What does balcony waterproofing cost?
Ballpark R250 to R550 per m² with tiles lifted, excluding new tiles. Clear sealers over tiles cost about R80 to R180 per m².
