What we waterproof, and with what
We waterproof with SIKA South Africa systems, a brand Sika describes as tried and tested for over 110 years. Rebel Roofing is a Sika Approved Applicator and a DWASA member, and all our site managers and teams are accredited Sika applicators.
Every job starts on the roof, not in the ceiling. We find where the water gets in, then seal the whole problem area, not just the stain.
