Looking for a specialist for pre-purchase waterproofing survey in Medina? Flat roofs, terraces and waterproofing are all we do, in Marrakech and across the Haouz. Free survey, written quote within 24 hours and a firm price before the first roller stroke. Not a general builder: a flat-roof specialist.
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.
Pre-purchase waterproofing survey in Medina: the job
No tarpaulins and no DIY patches: pre-purchase waterproofing survey in Medina is done with complete waterproofing systems designed for Marrakech’s 45 °C summers and winter rains. Buying a riad or a villa? Have the roof surveyed first: written report with photos, works estimate and real negotiating leverage. The indicative spend is from 900 DH; the final figure is fixed in writing before we start, after seeing the terrace in person.
The 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.
People who call us from Medina for pre-purchase waterproofing survey often already have two or three quotes: ours stands out because it is written line by line and the price never moves afterwards.

Frequently asked questions: Pre-purchase waterproofing survey in Medina
Yes, in the vast majority of cases: we work zone by zone, without heavy demolition when the substrate allows, and we protect stairwells and the rooms below.
Expect 150–420 DH/m² depending on the system: liquid membrane 140–220 DH/m², bituminous 180–350 DH/m², traffic resin 220–380 DH/m². An 80 m² terrace is usually treated for 15,000–30,000 DH: the exact figure comes after the free survey.
With a properly applied system and upturns at the right height, 15 to 20 years. What kills roofs here is fast application: a single coat, low upturns, clogged drains. We warrant our works in writing, up to 10 years.
Not necessarily: if the substrate is sound, we apply the new system over it after preparation (specific primer). If it sounds hollow or moves, it has to be rebuilt: we show you both cases with two prices, and you decide.
