Leaking roof or terrace

Water drips or seeps from the ceiling below the terrace.

Why it happens

  • Cracks in the terrace slab or old screed
  • Water standing on the roof because of poor slope
  • Weak spots at joints, parapets and pipe openings

Signs to look for

  • Ceiling damp or dripping after rain
  • Peeling paint on the top floor ceiling
  • Cracks or moss on the terrace

The fix, step by step.

Pick a brand to see the exact products for each step.

  1. 1

    Clean and repair

    Clean the terrace, open up cracks and fill them with a crack filler or repair mortar.

  2. 2

    Terrace waterproof coating

    Apply the primer and two or three coats of terrace waterproofing, with fibre mesh at joints and corners, as the brand directs.

  3. 3

    Heat-reflective top coat (optional)

    A cool-roof coat keeps the top floor cooler and protects the waterproofing from sun.
