Full Complex Roof Waterproofing & Repaint at Bishop Creek, Equestria

Location: Bishop Creek Complex, Equestria, Pretoria
Service: Full-complex tile roof ridge waterproofing & repaint — all 109 units (including IBR garage sheeting)

Bishop Creek is a large 109-unit residential complex in Equestria, Pretoria. After years of Highveld sun and seasonal storms, the concrete ridge caps across the estate had cracked and shed their bedding, leaving open joints where rain could track straight into the ceilings of the units below. The body corporate needed one durable, guaranteed solution across the entire complex — not another round of unit-by-unit patching. Eco Seal Coating Specialists waterproofed and repainted every roof on site as a single, coordinated project.

The problem across the complex

On a 109-unit estate, a ridge failure is never isolated. The original mortar bedding under the ridge caps had crumbled on roof after roof, many concrete ridge tiles were cracked clean through, and pointing was missing entirely in long stretches — every gap a direct path for wind-driven rain into the roof timbers and ceilings. The IBR garage sheeting had also started to rust along the sheets and screw lines. Left untreated, the tile roofs would keep leaking and the metal roofs keep corroding across the whole scheme, turning routine maintenance into a far bigger bill for the body corporate.

The Eco Seal solution — one system, every unit

As an approved SealPro applicator, Eco Seal rolled out the same guaranteed ridge-waterproofing and repaint system consistently across all 109 units:

1. Rake & refill the ridges. Every cracked, loose and missing section of ridge cement — right across the complex — was raked out to a sound edge and re-filled with a fibre-cement mix to rebuild a solid bed.
2. Prime. Each prepared ridge was primed with Penetrar so the waterproofing bonded permanently to the concrete and tile.
3. StretchSeal waterproofing. A flexible StretchSeal membrane was embedded over every ridge, sealing each joint and crack while allowing for the roof’s natural movement — backed by a 10-year StretchSeal guarantee.
4. Treat & repaint the garages. The rusted IBR garage sheeting was rust-converted, primed, its screw lines and joints waterproofed, then finished in two coats of high-quality roof paint.
5. Full repaint. Every tile roof and sealed ridge across the estate received two coats of premium roof paint in a uniform colour, protecting the waterproofing and giving the whole complex one clean, consistent finish.

The result

All 109 units now have watertight ridges and a crisp, uniform roofline across the entire Bishop Creek estate. The rusted garage sheeting is stopped and repainted, the ridge waterproofing carries a 10-year guarantee, and the body corporate has swapped repeat leak call-outs for one properly sealed complex built for the Highveld. It’s the same roof waterproofing, roof painting and preventative roof maintenance Eco Seal delivers for estates and body corporates across Pretoria.
