- Complexes and flats. Shared roofs and balconies where responsibility sits with the body corporate.
- Tiled roofs at maintenance age. Much of the stock is at the point where ridge bedding and flashings need attention together.
- Balconies over units. Failed membranes under tiles showing in the ceiling below.
- Autumn leaf load. Gutters filling from mature street trees.
- Small flat roof sections. Over garages, links and additions, usually the oldest waterproofing on site.
What the Buildings Are Like
Established family homes with pitched tiled roofs, plus a substantial band of low-rise flats and townhouse complexes near the main routes.
Where a balcony leaks into the flat below, get the cause documented in writing early. It usually becomes a body corporate matter, and a clear finding shortens that process considerably.

What separates two quotes is usually preparation and detailing, not the rate per square metre.
Book before winter. Coatings need a dry substrate, and contractors fill up once the fronts start.

Frequently Asked Questions
What causes a balcony to leak into the unit below?
Usually a failed or absent membrane under the tiles. Water passes cracked grout easily, and the membrane is what is supposed to stop it. Blocked outlets and low door thresholds are the other two common causes.
Do balcony tiles have to come off?
Almost always, if it is leaking. The membrane belongs under the tiles, so sealing the surface is a holding measure at best.
How do I compare waterproofing quotes for a property in Kenilworth?
Compare the specification rather than the total. Which system, how many coats or layers, what preparation is included, how upstands and outlets are detailed, and what the guarantee excludes. Two quotes far apart usually differ on stripping and preparation.
When is the best time of year to book waterproofing in Kenilworth?
Late summer or autumn. Membranes and coatings need a dry substrate and a dry curing window, and contractors fill up as soon as the first winter fronts arrive.
How long does waterproofing last?
A correctly installed torch-on system generally gives 10 to 15 years. Liquid acrylic coatings run shorter, often 5 to 8. Both figures assume outlets are kept clear and the roof is looked at once a year.
Do contractors charge extra to come out to Kenilworth?
Some add travel and some do not, depending on where they are based. Ask whether it is inside the quoted rate before comparing totals, because a call-out added afterwards changes the ranking.
