Get Waterproofing QuotesWhat Rondebosch Properties Commonly Need
- Rising damp treatment. Older walls with failed or missing damp courses, salts and crumbling plaster.
- Damp assessments. Separating rising damp from rain penetration before paying for treatment.
- Metal roof waterproofing. Older corrugated roofs with rust and loose fixings.
- Shower waterproofing. Shared bathrooms in student and rental houses.
- Concrete roof waterproofing. Flat roofs on flats and apartment blocks.
Older Walls and Damp Courses
- Bridged damp courses. Raised paving, garden beds or new plaster over the damp course let moisture bypass it.
- Salts. Salt-damaged plaster keeps pulling in moisture even after the source is fixed.
- Timber floors. Damp under suspended floors can cause rot, so check under-floor vents are clear.

Get Waterproofing QuotesWhat Affects the Quote
- Wall length and thickness. Injection is priced per metre, and thick walls need more holes and fluid.
- Plaster replacement. Hacking off and replastering usually costs more than the injection itself.
- Bridging. Lowering paving or garden beds may be needed first.
- Tenants. Working around occupied rooms in rentals can stretch the job.
For Landlords and Rentals
- Fix the cause. Repainting damp walls between tenants only hides the problem.
- Shared bathrooms. Heavy use wears grout and silicone quickly, so reseal regularly.
- Access. Agree access times with tenants before the work starts.
Questions to Ask
- Is the damp course failed, missing or just bridged?
- Which salt-resistant plaster will be used?
- How long before I can paint?
- What is guaranteed: the injection, the plaster or both?
Waterproofing Rondebosch FAQs
How do I know if it is rising damp?
Typical signs are a tide mark up to about a metre, salt deposits and flaking paint low on the wall. An assessment confirms it.
Can rising damp come back after treatment?
Yes, if the damp course is bridged again by paving or garden beds, or if salt-damaged plaster was left on.
Is it worth treating damp in a rental property?
Yes. Untreated damp leads to mould, complaints and repeated repainting.
Should old corrugated roofs be coated or replaced?
Sound sheets can be treated and coated. Thin or holed sheets are better replaced.
