Things to consider before you book
The local conditions that shape the job, the best time of year to book, and what to sort out before you choose a waterproofer.
Strata Area
Fitzroy is predominantly apartments and units — body corporate approval is often needed before external work can start. Check with your owners corporation early in the process.
Body Corp Sign-Off May Be Needed
Fitzroy is predominantly apartments and units. Body corporate approval is typically required before waterproofing work affecting common property, shared wiring, or building systems. Check with your owners corporation early — approval can add weeks.
Check Your Lease Before Booking
Over half of properties in Fitzroy are rentals. If you're a tenant, check your lease before booking waterproofing work — some jobs need landlord approval. End-of-lease services are in high demand here, so book well ahead.
What's in a good Waterproofing quote?
A good quote spells out how the job is priced and what's covered (labour, materials, prep and clean-up), so you're comparing like for like. Check what each waterproofer's quote covers before you choose.
Worth knowing: getting two or three quotes is the simplest way to land a fair price, and it costs you nothing.
- 01Licence number
On the quote, and verify it before work starts.
- 02Compliance certificate
An AS 3740 certificate promised before tiling starts.
- 03Membrane brand
The exact membrane product, not just 'waterproofing'.
- 04Substrate preparation
Grinding, priming and levelling, so nothing is skipped.
- 05Number of coats
Liquid membranes need at least two coats.
- 06Flood testing
A 24-hour flood test before the tiles go on.
