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.
Parapet and upturn refurbishment in Medina: the job
Parapet and upturn refurbishment in Medina starts with controlled stripping: we remove what is dead, we rebuild the waterproofing, the falls and the finish. Cracked parapets repaired with mortar, upturns raised to the right height, new counterflashings: the terrace perimeter is watertight again. The indicative cost is 120–220 DH/m; after the free survey, the price is locked in writing.
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 parapet and upturn refurbishment 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: Parapet and upturn refurbishment in Medina
It all depends on the substrate: if it is sound, a no-demolition membrane is enough and costs half as much; if it sounds hollow, is cracked or badly sloped, renovating is the only durable choice. We test at the survey and show you both costings.
Only if they are perfectly bonded and flat, which is rare. In a renovation we start again from a sound substrate — but we can reuse your zellige as decoration (borders, worktops).
Yes: we regularly work under ADER rules — no change to the external appearance, materials hand-carried, rubble removal adapted to pedestrian derbs.
Partially: we split the site into zones when the surface allows. On small terraces, expect a few days without access — we give you the exact calendar before starting.
