Everything you need to know about waterproofing your home
Every South African homeowner can avoid lots of problems by waterproofing their homes.
Front part of new house needs roof installed. I have some trusses left that was also used in back part of house that is already installed. Approximately m2 left to be done right away. I have all the tiles already. House is in Mooivallei Park Potch. I need a roofing carpenter to ensure the job is done right. Additional m2 roof will be needed on second level but not urgent right now.
Waterproofing to the balcony: Aluminum doors will be removed to the balcony. Aluminum doors and frames will be wrapped in bubble wrap and stored in the garage for safekeeping until re-installation. All cement and waterproofing layers will be chopped up and removed off-site from the balcony. Rubble skip will be on-site and removed once it is filled. All existing waterproofing will be removed. mm Turn-ups will be chopped off in order to apply the waterproofing application onto the bricks. Existing outlets will be removed. New 63mm Flange outlets will be fitted to the parapet walls to allow water to discharge outside of the balcony. Screed-to-fall will be done to ensure water runs out of the outlets, and that there will be no water ponding in any areas. 50x75mm Angle will be fitted where the door will be fitted to prevent water from running back into the rooms. The waterproofing application will consist of the following: x2 Coats of Mapei-Lastic Mapei-tape to all turn-ups and corners and into the cavities. Mapei-net the flat surface x1 coat will be applied, followed by the Mapei-net and Mapei-tape being applied on top of the 1st coat. 2nd coat will be applied over all of the above-mentioned after 24 hours. Aluminum doors and frames will be re-fitted. Turn-ups and bands around the frames will be plastered to a smooth finish. Waterproofing application and plaster will be left for x3 days before the painting and tiling can commence. New tiles will be installed.

We are in the process of purchasing a home and from the engineers inspection, it looks like we may need a roof replacement/repair as the clay tiles are old. The structure is still in tact. I'd like to get a quote to understand potential future costs in the next couple of years. I would prefer contact via email or whatsapp. Thanks!
Please I would like to have a quotation of a building that has a floor and ceiling that is damaged because of an air handling unit that is placed on top of timber floor. The ceiling below that floor is also affected. Please I would like to have the following in the quotation: 1. An investigation on the cause and extend of the water damage on the floor/ceiling. 2. On top of the timber floor there is a torch-on waterproof. What is the rate of the waterproof when it is removed and when it is replaced with new. Thank you. Kind regards,
The roof leaks when it's raining but the exact points of leaks are uncertain since half of the house has an installed ceiling. The main objective is to find the exact leaking points and repair them and recommend any improvements on the roof. The plan area of the roof is approximately square metres. The style of roof is scotch. The location of the house is in Boschfontein, Nkomazi Local Municipality.
It is a double story renovation from rental to a bed and breakfast. There is four to 5 plugs per room, every room has an en-suite bath/shower. It is 11 bedrooms, kitchen, dining area, Reception area, 2x linen rooms, each floor has its own DB, earthing required, outside lights working with a day/night switch, 2x geysers, 1 stove
The roof needs to be checked on the main house, the tiles are very old and may need to be replaced , also the flat roof needs to be redone as the tiles are old and broken, also the roof trusses needs to be checked for damage and repaired/replaced if needed, also the garage roof needs to be repaired(metal sheeting)
Our holiday home at 9 Sydney St, Plettenberg Bay, has an old roof with fibre cement roof sheeting. This is old and breaking up with new cracks and leaks appearing from time to time. We need advice on the options and prices to replace the roof. I will be in Plett from 23 Jan for 3 weeks and you will be able to meet with me, view the roof and suggest alternatives with prices during this time.
We’d like to request a quote for the following activities: - Scoping and changing water usage at an office building; - This would include, installation of taps, which use less water; - Reduce bucket load of toilets/placing a brick in them or having spring mechanisms installed for no continued flushing by accident; - Water efficiency at the car washing area? They already use a hose. - We would like to implement changes that do not have to change peoples behaviors, rather work around those behaviors. i.e. reduce water coming out of taps for example, instead of trying to police people. - The office block has two levels and a small house area and a security house, this would then include o 2x women’s bathrooms, o 2x men’s bathrooms, o A bathroom for the apartment, o Bathroom for the security hut. We'd need the work to reduce water consumption by at least 20% and need a quote to approve funding requirements. Please let me know if there is any additional information I could supply. The funding is a fund we are fetching for a greening of a building. Funds will be released, we just need to know how much.
