Worth knowing: getting two or three quotes is the simplest way to land a fair price — and it costs you nothing.
Licence number. On the quote, and verify it before work starts.
Compliance certificate. An AS 3740 certificate promised before tiling starts.
Membrane brand. The exact membrane product, not just 'waterproofing'.
Substrate preparation. Grinding, priming and levelling, so nothing is skipped.
Number of coats. Liquid membranes need at least two coats.
Flood testing. A 24-hour flood test before the tiles go on.

Local conditions
Things that can impact your job
These factors affect waterproofing work in this area — worth discussing with your tradie.
Keep Gutters Clear and Check Council Rules
Hobart is classified as bushfire prone land — keeping gutters and roof valleys clear is especially important here. If your property is near bushland, check with council whether any specific requirements apply.
Shorter Lifespan on Exterior Finishes
Hobart is right on the coast — exterior surfaces and finishes typically last 5–7 years here, compared to 10+ inland. Coastal-grade products aren't optional when salt air is this constant.
Cold Conditions Affect Materials and Timing
Hobart's cool climate means frost protection and cold-rated materials matter for any exterior work. Schedule outdoor projects for the warmer months where possible.
Seasonal Rainfall
Hobart gets moderate rainfall, so timing matters for exterior waterproofer work. Targeting the drier months gives the best run of uninterrupted days.
Winter Frost
Hobart gets light winter frosts — worth getting any exposed pipes insulated before the cold months hit.
Your Hobart waterproofing checklist
- Regular gutter and debris clearing
- Coastal-grade products for all exterior surfaces
- Frost-rated products and warmer-month scheduling
- Insulate any exposed pipework
