Waterproofing in Strand
Strand’s beachfront takes False Bay weather. Waterproofing here is wind-driven rain on flats and exposed houses, easing as you move inland.
Get Instant MatchFalse Bay front and the streets behind
Beach Road blocks have balcony and parapet leaks similar to other coastal flats, with body corporate rules. Houses a few streets back more often have tiled roofs and gable walls. The enquiry should say how many streets from the beach you are, because the salt load drops quickly and the roof type changes.
Helderberg wind is part of the spec for flashings. This is not the Claremont valley-gutter problem, and it is not Camps Bay’s steep deck problem.
Sending the enquiry
Sending the form on this page is free. It uses the same enquiry path as the rest of Cape Town Construction. A provider on the Lekker Network who covers this area and this kind of work may contact you. The price and the contract, if you hire someone, are between you and that provider. This site does not promise how quickly anyone replies.
What to put in the first message
Say beachfront flat or inland house, and balcony, parapet, or tile roof. Gordon’s Bay should be named if that is the building. Garage slabs are a different entry path from balcony doors.
Questions
Does this include Gordon’s Bay?
Name Gordon’s Bay if that is the building. The coast is similar. We did not duplicate the page.
Are ground-floor garages included?
If water comes in at a driveway slab, say garage, not balcony. The detail is different.
Who guarantees the coating?
Only the provider who applies it, in their quote. Not this website.
