Pricing guide
Quotes typically combine a callout fee with labour hours and materials allowances, and different profiles cover spot repairs through full membrane replacement. Hidden substrate damage, the need for higher-spec or trafficable systems, scaffolding or difficult access can significantly increase the scope. Licensed hazardous-material removal and major structural repairs are generally excluded unless specifically flagged and may require separate quotes.
Extent of waterproofing work
Small, localised patch and reseal jobs are usually simpler than full membrane replacement across larger areas.
Substrate condition and hidden damage
If damaged substrate is discovered, the job typically escalates and may require additional repairs or a follow-up quote.
Access, scaffolding and safety
Where scaffolding, edge protection or difficult access are needed, the work often takes longer and involves extra resources.
After-hours attendance and timing
Work carried out outside standard hours usually attracts higher rates and can affect the total quote.
