Roof waterproofing

Sika waterproofing systems, applied by Sika Approved Applicators. For steel, tiled and flat roofs, balconies, chimneys, carports and skylights.

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.

  • Steel roofsIBR, corrugated and cliplock: laps, screws and sheet joins
  • Tiled roofsLaps, crosses, ridges and valleys
  • Flat concrete roofsSlabs, parapets and box gutters
  • BalconiesSo water runs off, not in
  • Chimneys and skylightsThe joins and flashings around them
  • CarportsWaterproofed and painted

Signs your roof needs waterproofing

  1. Stains on the ceiling after rainBrown rings that grow after each storm.
  2. Bubbling paint upstairsOften water running down inside a wall from the roof.
  3. Rust at screws and sheet lapsThe first places a steel roof lets water in.
  4. Cracked flashings or ridgesAround chimneys, skylights, walls and valleys.
  5. Water standing on a flat roofPonding wears old waterproofing down.
  6. Old coating cracked or liftingOnce it lets go, water gets underneath.
