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.
Seasonal Rainfall
Malaga gets moderate rainfall, so timing matters for exterior waterproofer work. Targeting the drier months gives the best run of uninterrupted days.
Cooler Months Give Better Results
Malaga has genuinely hot summers — heat affects how exterior materials cure and set. Scheduling exterior waterproofer work for the cooler months often gives a better result. When summer work is unavoidable, your tradie will work around the temperature — application early, prep and shade-side work during the hottest part of the day.
Check Your Lease Before Booking
Over half of properties in Malaga are rentals. If you're a tenant, check your lease before booking waterproofer work — some jobs need landlord approval. End-of-lease services are in high demand here, so book well ahead.
Best time of year for exterior waterproofing in Malaga
Ideal months: October to April.
Based on typical local rainfall, temperature and humidity.
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.
