Liquid polyurethane forms a continuous, seamless membrane, ideal for terraces with lots of junctions and drains; bituminous sheeting is the reliable classic for flat roofs and new build; EPDM stands out for its flexibility and how well it takes the sun; and polyurea, applied hot, gives an extremely tough finish for badly punished surfaces. We work with all of them precisely so we don&#8217;t have to sell you the material that suits us, but the one that suits your terrace; that&#8217;s the difference between applying a product and solving a problem.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-38bb872 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"38bb872\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2a64234 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"2a64234\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-411e07b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"411e07b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>A quote made for you<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-26cb4d9 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"26cb4d9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">How much does it cost to waterproof a terrace?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c828827 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget-tablet__width-initial elementor-widget-mobile__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c828827\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The price works out per square metre, but every roof has its own story.

We waterproof roofs and fa\\u00e7ades on whole buildings, working with the managing agent and the association to plan the job, and we provide an itemised quote so it can be approved clearly at a residents&#8217; meeting.<\\\/p>\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What is external wall insulation and what has it got to do with waterproofing?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"<p>External wall insulation wraps the fa\\u00e7ade in insulating boards and a continuous render. As well as cutting the heating and cooling bill, it protects the wall from rainwater, so it solves two common problems of older fa\\u00e7ades at once: the cold-and-heat swing and the damp.<\\\/p>\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How do I know where the water is getting in?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"<p>That&#8217;s the key question, because water travels: the damp patch is almost never directly below the fault. We check joints, junctions, drains and the general condition of the surface to find the source before proposing anything; repairing the wrong spot is the quickest way to pay twice.<\\\/p>\"}}]}<\/script>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"parent":1868,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"no-sidebar","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"full-width-container","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"disabled","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"disabled","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"enabled","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"_joinchat":[],"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1872","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/montes-renovaciones.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1872","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/montes-renovaciones.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/montes-renovaciones.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/montes-renovaciones.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/montes-renovaciones.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1872"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/montes-renovaciones.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1872\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1878,"href":"https:\/\/montes-renovaciones.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1872\/revisions\/1878"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/montes-renovaciones.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1868"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/montes-renovaciones.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1872"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
