Waterproofing: peeling paint and damp patches on a wall

Waterproofing

Takes about 5 hr

Damp patches, flaking paint and white salt marks usually mean water is getting in somewhere else. The crew first traces where it enters, a terrace crack, an external wall joint or a bathroom floor, then prepares that surface and applies a chemical coating or membrane to seal it. Treating the source is what stops the patch inside from coming back.

Pricing is per sq ft as shown, on the measured treated area. Materials are charged at actual and agreed with you before use. Repainting the damaged inside wall is a separate job once it has dried.

Note where and when the damp appears, after rain or after showers, and keep terrace or balcony access clear for the crew.

Questions about this service

Why treat the terrace when the damp is on my ceiling?

Water often enters from above and travels before it shows. Sealing the entry point is what stops the patch returning.

Can you repaint the damp wall at the same time?

The wall needs to dry fully first. Book painting once the treated area has dried.

Is it priced per area?

Yes, per sq ft of the treated area as shown, measured before work starts.
