Bitumen Membrane Waterproofing

Survey first · fixed quote in 24h

  • Survey of the slab, falls, drains and upstands, with photos
  • Removal of failed layers and repair of the substrate
  • Bitumen primer on the whole area

Sound familiar?

  • The old roof membrane has blisters and bubbles under the screed.
  • Laps between the sheets have opened and water gets in after rain.
  • The membrane has pulled away at the parapet or around AC plinths.
  • A new villa needs its roof or foundations waterproofed before finishing.
  • Damp is coming through the basement or foundation walls.

Every one of these has a lasting fix — once the source is found.

The Survey

What we check before quoting bitumen membrane waterproofing

Most failed waterproofing jobs treated the stain, not the source. These are the points we check on every survey before we recommend a system or a price.

Substrate condition

The slab or screed must be sound, dry and clean; loose screed, cracks and old failed layers are repaired or removed first, or the new sheet will not bond.

Falls & drains

Ponding water shortens any membrane's life, so falls to the drains are checked and corrected before the membrane goes down.

Upstands & penetrations

Parapets, AC plinths, pipes and drains are where most bitumen roofs fail; each one is measured for a proper upstand and reinforcement strip.

Membrane grade

Sheet thickness and type (APP or SBS modified, plain or mineral-finished) are chosen for whether the roof will be covered by screed or left exposed.

The Scope

What's included

One fixed quote covers the full system for this service — preparation, membrane, details and testing — with no line-item creep once work begins.

  • Survey of the slab, falls, drains and upstands, with photos
  • Removal of failed layers and repair of the substrate
  • Bitumen primer on the whole area
  • Torch-on bitumen sheets, fully bonded with sealed laps
  • Upstands, drain outlets and penetrations reinforced
  • Flood test on horizontal surfaces, photo record, and a return visit if it leaks
How It Works

From first photo to flood-tested

Start with photos on WhatsApp. We confirm the source, quote one fixed price and prove the finished work before handing it back.

  1. Photos on WhatsApp

    Send photos of the roof or wall and where the water shows.

  2. Survey & fixed quote

    We check the substrate, falls and details, then send one fixed quote within 24 hours.

  3. Prime & torch

    Surface prepared and primed, sheets torched on with sealed laps and every detail turned up.

  4. Test & handover

    Flood-tested where horizontal, protected, then handed back with photos — and we come back if it leaks again.

Your bitumen membrane waterproofing is priced by the scope your property actually needs — never by the hour — and confirmed as a single fixed quote after the survey.

  • Leak source confirmed before we quote
  • One transparent quote, confirmed within 24 hours
  • No line-item creep once the work begins
  • Flood-tested, and we come back if it leaks again
Questions

Bitumen Membrane Waterproofing FAQs

The questions Dubai and Sharjah owners ask us most about this service.

It is priced per m² and depends on the sheet grade, the number of layers, the substrate repairs and how many upstands and penetrations there are. Send photos and we give one fixed quote after a survey.

A plain sheet should be covered by a protection screed or the roof finish, because UAE sun breaks bitumen down. Where the roof stays exposed, a mineral-finished sheet or a reflective top coat is used instead.

Bitumen sheets are robust and well suited to flat roofs and foundations that will be covered. A PU liquid membrane is seamless and suits roofs crowded with pipes and plinths. We recommend one after seeing the roof.

Every rain makes a leak worse. Fix it properly, once.

Send us a few photos today. We'll tell you the likely cause and send one fixed quote within 24 hours of confirming the source.
