Balcony Waterproofing Melbourne

Describe the leak, crack, lifting tile or rust stain on your balcony and your enquiry goes to one local provider, who arranges an inspection and a written quote. The Building and Plumbing Commission calls balconies a high-risk building element, because they are exposed to weather and rely on several systems working together: waterproofing, drainage, falls, set downs and construction detailing.

  • Each enquiry goes to one independent provider for Melbourne, not to a list of firms that all ring you.
  • We do not waterproof balconies. The provider inspects, then names the price.
  • Every call opens with a notice that it may be recorded.

Before you get a quote

Four things to know first

  • Waterproofing has its own builder class Victoria lists a builder registration limited to waterproofing: membrane work on the inside, outside, below-ground and remedial areas of a home, swimming pools and spas excepted.
  • An apartment building raises a different question The regulator lists Class 2 under both registrations; check the builder's class.
  • A new surface can change a balustrade The Building and Plumbing Commission says to check a balustrade's height again if tiles or other paving were laid after it went in.
  • The owners corporation repairs common property In an apartment building the owners corporation, not a single lot owner, must repair and maintain the common property.

Three steps

From enquiry to quote

  1. Tell us what you can see The building, the floor and the leak, crack, lifting tile or rust stain.
  2. It is passed on Your enquiry goes to one independent local provider covering Melbourne, Port Phillip and St Kilda. The provider pays for the introduction; you never do.
  3. A provider inspects and quotes The provider looks at the balcony and prices the work in writing. The price is theirs to set.

Balcony Waterproofing across Melbourne

Victoria has a builder registration class limited to waterproofing, covering the application, installation and repair of membranes on the interior, exterior, below-ground and remedial areas of a home, except swimming pools and spas. A second, commercial class limited to waterproofing work also exists. Waterproofing is not one of the trades a single-trade contract can leave outside the Domestic Building Contracts Act: tiling, plumbing and attaching balustrades are on that list, waterproofing is not. On an apartment building the first question is different: which registration actually covers the work. The regulator lists Class 2 under both registrations; check the builder's class. If an owners corporation manages the building, it, not an individual lot owner, must repair and maintain the common property: the owners corporation page sets out the Victorian rules. Reaching a balcony from the street can need a council permit as well: what the City of Port Phillip says its scaffold permit costs.
