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.

Hot Summers
  • Seasonal Rainfall

    Maylands gets moderate rainfall, so timing matters for exterior waterproofing work. Targeting the drier months gives the best run of uninterrupted days.

  • Cooler Months Give Better Results

    Maylands has genuinely hot summers — heat affects how exterior materials cure and set. Scheduling exterior waterproofing 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.

  • Apartment Mix

    Maylands has a significant proportion of apartments and units. If you're in a strata building, check whether body corporate approval is needed before waterproofing work begins — especially for anything affecting common property or shared services.

  • Rental-Heavy Area

    A large share of Maylands properties are rentals. If you're a tenant, check whether your lease requires landlord approval before waterproofing work. For end-of-lease services, book early — demand can be high.

Best time of year for exterior waterproofing in Maylands

Ideal months: October to April.

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.

  • 01
    Licence number

    On the quote, and verify it before work starts.

  • 02
    Compliance certificate

    An AS 3740 certificate promised before tiling starts.

  • 03
    Membrane brand

    The exact membrane product, not just 'waterproofing'.

  • 04
    Substrate preparation

    Grinding, priming and levelling, so nothing is skipped.

  • 05
    Number of coats

    Liquid membranes need at least two coats.

  • 06
    Flood testing

    A 24-hour flood test before the tiles go on.
