This project is a clear example of board and torch waterproofing Roodepoort on a small residential flat roof that required full structural correction before waterproofing could begin.
TaylorMade Waterproofing was appointed to strip the failed system, replace damaged boards, and install a new torch-on waterproofing Roodepoort solution designed for long-term durability.
Boarded Flat Roof Waterproofing
Board Replacement + 4mm Torch-On Membrane
10 Year Guarantee
1 Day
This board and torch waterproofing Roodepoort project focused on restoring a small 16m² boarded roof that had deteriorated due to moisture damage and failing waterproofing layers.
For this project the goal was to remove all compromised materials and rebuild the surface correctly before applying a new waterproofing system.
The final solution combined structural repair with torch-on waterproofing Roodepoort, ensuring both the integrity of the roof and long-term water resistance.
Before any waterproofing could begin, the existing roof structure had to be corrected.
The original boards had absorbed moisture over time, weakening the surface and making it unsuitable for new waterproofing layers. Simply applying a new system over this would have resulted in early failure.
Work included:
This stage is critical in any project like this because without a solid base, even the best waterproofing system will fail.
Providing expert board and torch waterproofing Roodepoort.
If timber boards underneath a flat roof absorb moisture, they can warp, rot, or lose structural strength. Waterproofing over damaged boards traps the problem underneath the membrane instead of fixing it. That is why this Roodepoort project started with board replacement before the torch-on system was installed.
See: Case Study
With the new structure in place, the team installed a full torch-on waterproofing Roodepoort system using heat fusion.
The membrane was bonded directly to the surface, creating a continuous waterproof barrier across the entire roof.
Work included:
Once the membrane was installed, the system was completed with a protective Suparoof Charcoal coating.
This final layer serves two purposes:
The result is a clean, uniform finish that not only performs well but also improves the appearance of the roof.
This board and torch waterproofing Roodepoort project was completed in just 1 day.
Because the scope was clearly defined and access was straightforward, the team was able to:
All within a single working day. Fast execution did not compromise quality, each stage was completed correctly to ensure long-term performance.
If your roof shows signs of swelling boards, soft spots, or repeated leaks, the issue is likely structural and not just surface-level.
This project demonstrates how board and torch waterproofing Roodepoort provides a complete solution, not a temporary fix.

This project highlights the difference between patch repairs and proper waterproofing.
Instead of layering over failure, the system was rebuilt correctly:
That’s why this approach to flat roof waterproofing Roodepoort delivers results that last.
If your roof has already failed once, the solution is not another patch, it’s a proper rebuild.
Don’t wait for visible leaks to spread into ceilings, timber, internal finishes, electrical areas, or roof structures.
