- Salt and wind together. Onshore exposure corroding fixings while uplift works them loose.
- Older seaside stock. Corrugated roofs and salt-loaded masonry walls in the original housing.
- Lagoon-side properties. Low ground and high winter water tables affecting lower levels and floors.
- Newer complexes. Concrete flat roofs and balconies under body corporate control.
- Mixed roof types. Tile, sheet and flat concrete on adjacent properties, each needing different work.
What Is Built Here
A mix of older seaside housing, established family homes and newer apartment and townhouse development, with tiled, sheet and flat concrete roofs all represented.
On the lagoon side, damp at floor level in winter is often groundwater rather than a leak. It appears seasonally, which means an assessment done in summer can miss it entirely.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my floor damp only in winter?
Because the water table rises with the winter rainfall. Seasonal damp that clears by summer points at groundwater rather than a plumbing or roof leak.
Does salt affect walls as well as roofs?
Yes. Salt-loaded masonry stays hygroscopic and keeps drawing moisture from the air, which is why coastal damp needs breathable treatment rather than a sealed coating.
Does a roof need to be repaired before it is coated?
Yes. Cracked tiles, loose ridge caps, corroded fasteners and failed flashings must be dealt with first. Paint or coating over a defect hides it and the eventual repair costs more.
How do I know if my damp is rising or penetrating?
Rising damp holds a fairly level line, usually below a metre, and does not change much with the weather. Penetrating damp appears at any height, follows a defect, and worsens within hours of rain.
Who is responsible for roof work in a complex or sectional title scheme?
Normally the body corporate for common property, instructed by the trustees or managing agent. Exclusive-use areas such as balconies depend on the scheme's rules, so confirm before commissioning anything.
Is the cheapest waterproofing quote usually the right one?
Rarely. The cheapest quote is typically the one that coats over the existing membrane, prices preparation as a variation and excludes making good. Compare the inclusions before comparing the totals.
