Roof Waterproofing Bedfordview

96m² Roof Slab, Skylights & Torch-On Waterproofing System

This project is an example of roof waterproofing Bedfordview for a residential property with a flat concrete roof slab, skylight structures, parapet walls, brick wall interfaces, and roof drainage points.

TaylorMade Waterproofing was appointed to strip the existing waterproofing, prepare and prime the slab, install a 4mm torch-on waterproofing system, and protect the completed roof with bituminous aluminium silver roof paint.

Complete Roof Waterproofing Bedfordview Project Overview

This roof waterproofing Bedfordview project was completed on a 96m² slab area by the quarter’s room.

The roof was not a plain open slab. It included skylight structures, raised upstands, brick wall interfaces, roof outlets, parapet walls, and a nearby water tank. These details needed careful waterproofing because water often enters around edges, corners, penetrations, and surface transitions.

The project scope included:

This project shows the full process from preparation to membrane application and final protection.

Roof Slab Waterproofing Bedfordview

Stripping the Existing Waterproofing and Preparing the Slab

The first stage was to clean down the area and strip the existing waterproofing system.

This was necessary because a new waterproofing system needs a clean and stable surface. If failed layers, loose material, dust, or damaged waterproofing remain underneath, the new membrane may not bond correctly.

Once the old waterproofing was removed, the slab area was prepared for priming. The roof surface, edges, corners, upstands, and drainage points had to be checked before the new system was installed.

Torch-On Waterproofing Bedfordview

4mm Membrane Applied with Heat Fusion

After preparation, TaylorMade Waterproofing primed the area using bituprime. The primer helps prepare the surface before the torch-on membrane is installed.

A single layer of 4mm torch-on membrane was then applied using heat fusion. This created the main waterproofing barrier across the flat roof slab.

On this project, the membrane also had to be detailed around skylight upstands, parapet edges, wall junctions, outlets, and roof transitions. These areas are important because they interrupt the main roof surface and need proper sealing.

Did you know?

Many roof leaks begin around penetrations, upstands, roof lights, outlets, and other details, rather than in the centre of the main roof surface. Roof maintenance guidance recommends checking penetrations, protrusions, rooflights, and the main membrane as part of waterproof roof inspections.

Skylight Waterproofing Bedfordview

Sealing Raised Details, Upstands and Roof Transitions

The skylight areas were a key part of this roof waterproofing Bedfordview project.

Skylights and roof lights create raised details on the roof surface. Water can collect around these areas if the surrounding membrane, corners, upstands, or edges are not sealed correctly.

The waterproofing system had to be applied around the skylight structures and tied into the surrounding slab. This helped protect the roof where the flat surface meets raised glass and masonry details.

Duration of Project

This roof waterproofing Bedfordview project was completed as a 96m² roof slab waterproofing system and was completed over approximately 1 day.

The project required careful execution because the roof included multiple details around skylights, wall interfaces, outlets, raised edges, and a water tank.
