Question 1

Do you charge for a site inspection?

Accepted Answer

Initial inspections within Dubai, Sharjah and Abu Dhabi are free of charge. Detailed diagnostic surveys involving testing are quoted separately.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

We arrange a survey within one working day of your request, and same-day for active leaks in commercial assets.

Question 3

Are your teams insured?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We hold full public liability, workmen's compensation and professional indemnity cover, with certificates available on request.

Question 4

Do you work outside Dubai?

Accepted Answer

We operate across all seven emirates, with permanent teams based in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Workmanship warranties from 5 to 15 years depending on the system, supported by manufacturer material warranties.

Question 7

Do you handle authority approvals?

Accepted Answer

We prepare material submittals and method statements for Dubai Municipality, Civil Defence and free zone authorities.

Question 8

What payment terms do you offer?

Accepted Answer

Standard terms are a mobilisation advance with monthly progress applications, certified against completed works.

Question 9

Can you overlay the existing roof?

In most cases yes — after a moisture and adhesion test. If the existing membrane is delaminated or trapping water, we strip back to the deck and rebuild the system.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

A typical villa basement takes 2–3 weeks including surface preparation, crack injection, membrane application and protection screed. Commercial substructures are quoted per section.

Question 11

Can you work around existing landscaping?

Yes. We phase the works so soft-landscape zones remain live, protecting root balls and drip lines while we strip, waterproof and reinstate the wear course.

Question 12

Standard PU liquid systems allow tiling within 24–48 hours. Full reinstatement including tiling and grout curing is usually 5–7 days per bathroom.

Reflective acrylic coatings hold up for 5–7 years under UAE UV; silicone systems reach 10+ years. We include an annual inspection in the workmanship warranty.

Accepted Answer

Foot traffic after 24 hours, light vehicles at 3 days and forklifts / heavy loads at 7 days once the topcoat has fully cured.
