      First, a clarification that saves people a phone call: this page is about waterproofing in Hampton 3188, the bayside suburb roughly 14km south-east of the Melbourne CBD. It is not about Hampton Park, which is a separate suburb about 30km away in Melbourne’s south-east. The two get mixed up constantly, so if you have been getting quotes from tradespeople who turn out to be based half an hour from you, that is why.

      Waterproofing renovated period homes

      Hampton’s housing is heavily weighted toward the inter-war period: Californian bungalows in rich supply, clinker-brick, some earlier Edwardian stock, and a lot of 1920s to 1960s housing east of Hampton Street. Almost all of it has been renovated, much of it more than once.

      That renovation history is the thing that matters for waterproofing. A bungalow bathroom that has been redone twice since the 1980s may have layers of previous work under the current tiles, some of it membrane, some of it not, none of it documented. Original timber floor structures move. Extensions join old substrates to new ones at a junction that has to be detailed properly or it will be the first thing to fail.

      When we open up a wet area in a renovated period home, the honest position is that we do not know exactly what we are dealing with until it is open. What we can tell you at the walkthrough is what the likely scenarios are and what each would cost.

      Concrete waterproofing

      Concrete work comes up regularly here: slabs, garage and basement floors, retaining structures, and the concrete elements of extensions and rebuilds.

      Concrete is not waterproof. It is porous, and it cracks as it cures and moves. Waterproofing a concrete structure is about selecting a system that bonds properly to the substrate and can accommodate that movement, then detailing the joints and penetrations where water actually gets through. Flat spans are rarely the problem.

      Outdoor and external waterproofing

      Outdoor areas are where waterproofing gets tested hardest, because everything is exposed and nothing is forgiving.

      The work covers balconies and terraces, external walls, planter boxes, podium and paved areas over habitable space, and rooftop waterproofing. Two things drive most external failures: falls that do not actually move water to a drain, and detailing at the perimeter and penetrations. We screed to correct falls where that is the underlying problem, because a membrane laid over a bad fall produces a waterproof puddle rather than a solution.

      Which membrane suits the job

      We apply sheet membrane, liquid membrane, polyurethane and cementitious systems.

      On renovated period housing, liquid systems often earn their place because they detail well around the awkward junctions those buildings are full of. On large regular concrete areas, sheet systems are frequently the better answer. The decision comes from the substrate, the exposure and the manufacturer’s specification for the product, and we will explain which we are recommending and why rather than just naming it on a quote.

      What waterproofing costs in Hampton

      We quote after seeing the job. Send us the details, we come out for a free, no-obligation on-site walkthrough, and you get a clear quote and a timeline with no hidden costs.

      On Hampton’s renovated housing stock, the honest warning is that the quote depends heavily on what previous work left behind. A bathroom where the preparation is sound prices very differently to one where three layers of past renovation have to come out first. We would rather find that at the walkthrough and tell you than discover it after you have committed to a number.

      Compliance and certification

      We work to the Australian standards applying to waterproofing in Victoria, and to each manufacturer’s application recommendations. Where your job requires a waterproofing certificate, we issue one.

      On a property that has been renovated repeatedly, that certificate is worth keeping. It is often the only record establishing when the wet area was last done properly, and by whom.

      How the job runs

      Send us the job details by phone or email. We arrange a free on-site walkthrough and assess what the work actually needs. You receive a clear quote and timeline. Our licensed and insured team completes the work with premium-grade materials, keeping the site clean and disruption to a minimum. We finish, often earlier than predicted, with guaranteed quality.

      Frequently asked questions
      Is this page about Hampton 3188 or Hampton Park?

      Hampton 3188, the bayside suburb. Hampton Park is a separate suburb roughly 30km away. If you have been quoted by tradespeople who turn out to be based half an hour from you, this is usually why.

      My bathroom has been renovated before. Does that make it harder to quote?

      It makes it harder to quote accurately without looking. A bungalow bathroom redone twice since the 1980s may have layers of previous work under the tiles, some of it membrane, none of it documented. We tell you the likely scenarios at the walkthrough and what each would cost.

      Can this product be tiled over?

      Usually yes, where the system is specified for tiling over and has cured fully. We confirm it for the exact product used on your job.

      How long do you guarantee your work for?

      We provide guaranteed quality on all our waterproofing work, confirmed in writing with your quote.

      When can I step on the membrane?

      It depends on the product’s cure time. We give you the real number for your system, and if the honest answer is that it needs longer before the next trade starts, we say so.
