How we work
- 01
Leak diagnosis
We trace the real source of the damp — not always where the stain shows — and check slopes and drains.
- 02
Surface preparation
Cleaning, crack repair, and treatment of joints and weak points (drains, wall junctions).
- 03
Reinforced membrane system
Liquid polyurethane membrane, mesh-reinforced at critical points, applied in two cross coats.
- 04
Handover & warranty
Walkable finish in your choice of colour, written warranty, free one-year checkup.
Why the diagnosis matters more than the material
Because water lies. The bedroom stain can come from a joint four metres away, a badly sealed drain, or a slope that ponds — and a perfect membrane applied in the wrong place fixes nothing. So our visit isn’t a glance to name a price: we check slopes, drains, joints and junctions, and locate the real source before proposing anything. Sometimes the honest answer is a €200 spot repair rather than a full system — we’ll tell you that too.
What makes a system last 15 years in Madrid’s climate?
Madrid punishes roofs from both ends: freeze-thaw cycles in winter and surfaces above 70 °C in summer. A durable system needs three things: a continuous membrane with no joints or overlaps (which is why we work with liquid polyurethane in two cross coats), mesh reinforcement at the singular points — drains, corners, wall junctions, where almost all systems fail — and surface preparation without shortcuts. The finish is walkable, in the colour you choose, with the system datasheet handed over alongside the warranty.
What happens after the job?
We don’t disappear: a written warranty on the applied system and a free one-year checkup, because a roof behaves differently after its first summer and first winter. If your community is planning facade work, coordinate both: with the scaffolding already up, treating the roof costs noticeably less — we manage it in a single itemised quote alongside facade painting. The indicative ranges (€25–45/m² in 2026) are published so you can run numbers before calling.
Frequently asked questions
How do you know where the leak actually is?
By inspecting before quoting: the ceiling stain is almost never directly under the failure, because water travels through the structure. We check slopes, drains, joints and junctions before proposing anything — treating the wrong spot is wasted money however well it's done.
Why do most waterproofing jobs fail?
At the details, not the open surface: drains, corners and wall junctions. That's why we reinforce the membrane with mesh exactly at those points — the difference between a system lasting 3 years and 15.
Can you waterproof over existing tiles?
Yes, if the tiling is firm: liquid membrane applies directly over tiles with a primer, avoiding the cost, rubble and days of ripping up the floor.
What guarantee do I have the leak won't come back?
A written warranty on the applied system, the manufacturer's datasheet, and a free checkup after the first year. If anything failed within the warranty period, we repair it ourselves — no arguments.
Do you handle community roofs?
Yes, private terraces and community roofs alike, with itemised quotes for the board and coordination with the administrator. If the building is scaffolding for facade work, that's the cheapest moment to treat the roof too.
How much does it cost?
€25–45 per m² in 2026 with liquid polyurethane membrane and preparation included; a 20 m² terrace runs €500–900. The exact quote comes from the free inspection.
