We waterproof tiled roofs.
We've waterproofed a lot of tiled roofs. Some of the time leaks are caused by damage or deterioration of the tiles, flashings and other parts of the roof.
But, sometimes tiled roofs leak even if there is nothing wrong with the tiles. This happens to older roofs because the underlay - the waterproof sheet under the tiles - rots. When rain blows under the tiles it drips onto the ceiling.
Replacing the underlay is expensive. All the tiles and battens (strips of wood that support the tiles) have to come off. You always need new battens and often new tiles if the old tiles can't be reused.
We waterproof older tiled roofs by sealing the gaps so no water can get in. It's faster, less risky and much cheaper than replacing the underlay. Here's how:-
- We apply a first coat of sealant which closes any small holes.
- Once that's dry we caulk bigger holes and gaps between tiles with a thicker sealant.
- Then, we finish by spraying a final coat.
The sealant comes in any colour you want. It looks great and lasts.

We waterproof metal roofs.
Metal roofs in our area usually leak because of rust. If the rusted sheets are badly damaged we'll replace them. If we can save the sheets we'll patch the holes with a membrane.
We then use a 3 step process to waterproof and protect the roof:-
- We start by applying a rust converter. This makes the rust chemically stable so it won't get worse.
- We then apply a zinc-based primer which defends the roof from further rusting.
- We finish with a waterproofing layer in the colour of your choice.

We waterproof concrete roofs, patios and decks.
Concrete roofs and patios leak where pipes and other fittings come through the slab or because of tiny - almost invisible- cracks.
We fix concrete roofs (and patios and decks) using a 5-layer system.
- Bonding liquid. This penetrates into the top layer of the concrete and makes it harder.
- Cementitious liquid with microfibres. This is very sticky and provides the bed for the next layer.
- Fibreglass mesh. The mesh is much stronger than a normal membrane. It stops the waterproofing from cracking as the slab expands and contracts with the day/night temperature fluctuations. Without the mesh layer your waterproofing would fail in a few months.
- An flexible UV resistant acrylic-based seal coat.
- A second coat of the same sealant.

We waterproof fibre cement (asbestos) roofs.
Fibre-cement (asbestos) roofs in our area usually leak because of damage to the sheets.
We'll replace these if they're too damaged. If we can save the sheets we'll patch the holes with a membrane.
We then apply 2 coats of flexible UV resistant acrylic-based waterproofing. We can match any colour you want.

Client testimonials.
These guys were not the cheapest but from the very first meeting, I could see that they knew exactly what they were doing. They identified the problem in less than 5 minutes and knew exactly how to fix it. Amazing!
Anne Combrink - Cape Town
Quality. Quality. Quality! My deck is waterproofed and fixed. I KNOW I never need to worry about it again. Thank you so much, guys. Really awesome service.
Sipho Ndlovu
Highly recommend this company for waterproofing. Great service, reliable and very efficient group of guys. Deon was on time, worked extremely hard and did a great job. Thanks again Lofty, will definitely have you guys back to do the rest of our roof.
Olivia Williford
They did a great job assessing our roof and fixing leaks. There were multiple severe leaks. Roof was repaired by Garden Route Waterproofing a couple months ago and despite heavy rains, weโve not had further issues. Their follow up service is also very good and work is guaranteed for 5 years. Highly recommend
Nadia Hyland
Thank you Waterproofing Garden Route for roof cleaning, was impressed with Renier who arrived timeously, and completed pressure washing roof within the constraints of loadshedding. Can recommend this team and look forward to using them in the future.
Nanette Krige
Ours was a small roof insulation repair but the fix was quick, efficient & very professionally done. Very impressed
Cunliffe Knysna
It has been a long journey, but I am confident we have sorted the problem. I appreciate all your efforts to tackle this tricky house with its many problems, and that you took the extra effort to make it damp-proof when the original solution wasnโt adequate. Our home looks now how I hoped it would look at the start. I am hoping no further gremlins come to light (fingers crossed).
You, Renier and your crew are very professional and we will be happy to recommend you and to be a reference should you require that.
