Medina: we carry out bituminous parapet upturns with waterproofing systems proven under the Marrakech climate — extreme summer heat, concentrated rain from November to March. You pay only after reading the quote: free, written and without obligation.
Rainy season Nov–Mar: The Marrakech rainy season runs from November to March: that is when every tired terrace reveals itself. An ignored leak costs up to 10 times the price of waterproofing — damaged beams, lifted tadelakt, mould, repainting — and cuts the value of the property. The right time to waterproof is before the first heavy rain, not after it.
Bituminous parapet upturns in Medina: the job
Bituminous parapet upturns in Medina starts with substrate preparation: cleaning, bonding primer, then membrane application matched to how the roof will be used. Membrane raised 15–20 cm, reinforced corner welding, sealed counterflashing: no more leaks coming over the top of the walls. The indicative cost is 100–170 DH/m; after the free survey, the price is fixed in writing and locked.

Trusted in Medina
“I was looking for an alternative to full demolition: liquid membrane and the terrace was like new in three days. I wish I had called earlier.”
Rachid T. · Medina“Water came through the living-room ceiling every time it rained. Survey on Thursday, quote the next day, work finished in four days. Not a drop since.”
David K. · Medina“For bituminous parapet upturns I had three quotes: theirs wasn’t the cheapest but it was the only one itemised line by line. Price respected to the dirham.”
Salma K. · MedinaThe Medina context
The Marrakech Medina is our home ground: hundreds of riads with centuries-old flat roofs built from earth, cedarwood and lime, where traditional waterproofing — rammed earth layers and tadelakt — is reaching the end of its life. Every job here must respect ADER rules and the UNESCO listing: no hauling tonnes of rubble through narrow derbs, no altering the roofline of the terraces. We use light materials compatible with pisé: flexible resins, flame-free self-adhesive membranes, parapet upturns rebuilt to standard. Leaks in the Medina are unforgiving: they rot the wooden beams, swell the earthen walls and lift the tadelakt off bedroom walls.
In Medina, jobs like bituminous parapet upturns are among the most requested: with summers above 45 °C and rain concentrated in winter, a well-laid membrane and correct falls make the difference between a terrace that lasts and one that has to be redone.
Frequently asked questions: Bituminous parapet upturns in Medina
Yes, provided it is protected: slated finish, reflective paint or gravel. A bare black membrane cooks at over 70 °C on the surface and ages twice as fast — the classic mistake we correct.
We avoid open flame on timber substrates and riads: in that case, self-adhesive membrane or liquid membrane. Same waterproofing result, no fire risk and no ADER issues.
Often not: if the old membrane still adheres, we lay the new layer over it after preparation. If it is blistered or detached, stripping is unavoidable — the free survey settles the question.
Not directly: it is protected with gravel, slab-on-pedestal decking or tiles. If you want to walk on the terrace with no covering, traffic resin is the right answer — we compare both in the quote.
