Our Concrete Tile Roof Waterproofing System is designed to address the most common problem areas on tiled roofs, including ridges, valleys, flashings, and parapet walls. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of how we waterproof your roof:
The first step in our process is a thorough inspection of your roof. We look for signs of damage, such as cracked cement, loose ridge tiles, or broken tiles. Any loose cement is removed, cracks are raked open, and damaged tiles are replaced to ensure a solid foundation for the waterproofing process.
Once the roof is prepared, we fill gaps and holes with FibreCrete, a plaster-like mixture that provides a strong, durable repair. For smaller cracks, we use DampEnd, a fibre-reinforced cementitious coating that seals and strengthens the surface.
Next, we prime the entire area to be waterproofed with Penetrar, a multi-purpose concrete primer. Penetrar penetrates the porous concrete, binds loose particles, and enhances adhesion for the membrane to follow.
To strengthen fixed sections, overlaps, and joints, we apply StretchSeal, a flexible waterproofing membrane. This membrane helps absorb movement and prevents hairline cracks from forming.
We embed the StretchSeal membrane using Repello, an adhesion promoter with excellent binding properties. Repello ensures the membrane is securely attached to the substrate, providing a seamless and durable finish.
Finally, we apply three layers of HydroSeal HF, a high-performance acrylic coating designed for long-term protection. HydroSeal HF is specifically formulated for all types of roof surfaces, including concrete roof slabs, parapet walls, tiled roofs, valleys, ridges, vents, and flashings. Once the waterproofing is complete, we colour-coat the surface to match your roof tiles for a seamless, aesthetically pleasing finish.

Understanding the causes of roof leaks can help you take proactive steps to protect your property. Here are the most common issues we encounter:
Over time, the cement used to secure ridge tiles and flashings can crack and deteriorate, allowing water to seep through.
Ridge tiles can become loose or displaced due to weather conditions or poor installation, creating gaps where water can enter.
Flashings, which are used to seal joints and transitions on the roof, can wear out or become damaged, leading to leaks.
Broken or missing tiles create openings for water to penetrate the roof structure.
Improper installation of tiles or waterproofing materials can compromise the integrity of the roof, leading to leaks and other issues.
Leaks on tile roof ridges typically occur due to:
