- Direct beachfront salt. Continuous exposure corroding fasteners, balustrade fixings and reinforcing steel.
- Beachfront blocks. Concrete flat roofs and large exposed balconies under body corporate control.
- Spalling concrete. Chloride reaching reinforcing in older seafront buildings.
- Older housing behind the front. Corrugated roofs and salt-loaded masonry walls.
- Holiday occupancy. Units standing empty for stretches, so leaks are found late.
Building Stock
Beachfront apartment blocks and older seaside housing along the False Bay shoreline, with concrete flat roofs, exposed balconies and a stock of older corrugated roofs behind them.
On seafront blocks, if reinforcing steel is visible anywhere on the concrete, that should be assessed before waterproofing is quoted. Coating over spalling hides a structural problem rather than fixing one.

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 does spalling concrete mean on a seafront block?
Reinforcing steel inside the concrete has corroded and expanded, breaking the surface away. It has to be cut back, the steel treated and the area made good before any waterproofing goes on.
Why does damp return in old Strand houses after treatment?
Salt in the masonry keeps drawing moisture from the air after the original source is stopped. Salt-retardant replastering is usually needed alongside whatever fixed the cause.
How long does a waterproofing job take in Strand?
A domestic flat roof is often two to four days including preparation and curing. Larger or multi-section roofs run one to three weeks. Rain stops work entirely, so winter jobs take longer than the working days suggest.
Should I get a written report as well as a quote?
On anything beyond a simple repair it helps. A report setting out what was found and why a system was chosen gives you something to compare against and something to refer back to if the work is questioned later.
What should a waterproofing quote include?
The measured area, the system and product by name, the number of coats or layers, the preparation being done, how upstands and outlets are detailed, access equipment, the guarantee term and the exclusions.
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.
