In construction, a building or structure is waterproofed with the use of membranes to protect contents underneath or within as well as protecting structural integrity. The waterproofing of construction specifications includes roofing material as well as waterproofing materials. Waterproofing is used in reference to building structures (basements, decks, flat roofs, wet areas, etc.)
We specialize in the following types of waterproofing:
:: Leaking Roofs
:: Damaged Roofs
:: Sagging Roofs
:: Flat Roofs
:: Flashings
:: Gutters
UNIFLEX waterproofing system
Uniflex 1 and Uniflex 2 waterproofing system provides a 100% water tight application also acting as a heat barrier which keeps the underlying residence/rooms cooler in summer. Uniflex contains a UV barrier which prolongs the life span of the product.
Uniflex contains and Antimicrobial agent to prevent the growth and development of fungacide and algae.
There are many advantages of using
our Uniflex waterproofing system:
-
Uniflex is not an acrylic based system, which means that it is not water based and therefore not water soluble.
-
Uniflex has an extremely good U.V. resistance.
-
There are no fumes given off during installation and no gas is used for the adhesion.
-
There is no noise pollution during application.
-
Uniflex cools steel corrugated and IBR roofs to the touch (summer mid-day test)
-
Uniflex can be applied onto many substrates such as: tiled roofs, steel roofs, concrete roofs, wooden roofs, everite roofs, concrete slabs, sealing of skylights and box gutters.
-
Uniflex has an expansion allowance to minimize the risk of cracking in extreme conditions.

Mechanics© 2011 Breakthrough awards salutes 10 products that represent the
highest standard in innovation and execution. Universal Roofing utilises TiO2
(Titanium Dioxide) in our UNIFLEX waterproofing system, which reacts with and
neutralizes NOx (nitrogen oxide) particles in smog. The by-product is a harmless
precipitate that accumulates on the roof and washes away in the rain. That is
pollution removal at its best. No Machinery, moving parts or other energy input
other than sunlight. Its just a clever, air-cleansing chemical reaction. The
solution was awarded 7th place to a similar roofing company in the USA.
Bitumen Waterproofing
Bituminous roofing products are perfect for the waterproofing of roofs on buildings as they move with the structure as they are not too rigid, and they do not absorb water. Bitumen is a hydrocarbon and is created naturally from crude oil. It is a useful carbon store and does not generate greenhouse gases. The membranes are therefore a sustainable way of storing carbon on the Earth's surface.
Advantages of using bitumen based waterproofing products:
As well as protecting buildings, bituminous roofing products can be in harmony with their environmental surroundings as different mineral finishes can be applied to the top surfaces.
The products have an extremely long life span
The fumes given off during installation are not harmful to human health and there is low noise pollution during application.
Bituminous membranes protect insulation and can reflect harmful sun rays.
Bitumen is not water soluble, non-biodegradable and does not release harmful toxins.
Gutters
A gutter is a trough fixed under or along the eaves for draining rainwater from a roof. It's purpose is to redirect water away from the roof, preferably into a drain. Gutters vary in size and shape, depending on the gradient and area of your roof. If your gutter's are too small for your roof, they will not handle a heavy downpour of rain and depending on their layout, could flood your home or cause serious damage to your roof timber and trusses. If your gutter's are installed incorrectly, they will retain water. You might find Mosquitoes and other insects nesting in the water after the rain has passed.
Our professional guttering department will take care of all your guttering needs. Our gutters are customized and manufactured onsite. This ensures that all our gutters are fitted to your roof in pristine condition, with no transport damage incurred.
