Copacabana

Ensure undertook remediation of a medium sized FC sheet lined balcony whereby significant water ingress was being experienced. The team undertook careful demolition of the existing tiles and glue to expose the existing FC substrate without damaging the existing FC boards, allowing the client to retain this substrate and hence, save significant costs on the project. Once the substrate was exposed, the team worked to carefully grind off any remaining tile adhesive or defective membrane. Following this, a temporary construction membrane was installed in preparation for a new fully adhered Fatra Fatrafol 807v PVC Sheet Membrane System complete with membrane upturns in the adjacent walls and new door sub-sill trays. The works also include for removal of existing sliding door and window units and replacement with new fit for purpose double glazed units, removal of existing balcony gutters and replacement with new gutters and fascia board, erection of 3 storey perimeter scaffold for safe working access from building edges, re-tiling and bedding to new falls and installation of tiling control joints.

Due to the nature of the works, the residents vacated the property over the course of the works. Whilst the residents were away from Site, Ensure’s team established a WhatsApp Group Chat which served as a tool to send the client regular updates on their project as well as communicate any urgent or necessary items as needed.

  Ensure Waterproofing have just completed fixing our leaking verandah, that unfortunately was over 2 bedrooms below. Jake coordinated and oversaw the complex work which included removal of old tiles, installing a sheet membrane system, installing new tiling screed and laying new tiles (which was done beautifully.) They also replaced the damaged bedroom ceiling and repainted the effected bedroom.  Jake has gathered an excellent, specialised hard working team around him and communicated, updated and explained extremely well throughout the project . Zac particularly worked hard and conscientiously to complete the work in a timely and professional manner. After battling with this leaky verandah since purchasing the house in 2018, and a previous attempt at fixing the leaking,  it is wonderful to have it finally fixed! We highly recommend Ensure Waterproofing if you want an extremely professional and thorough job done.

  My partner and I were absolutely delighted with the quality of workmanship and professionalism shown by Ensure Waterproofing, who have just completed a large balcony project at our home. From the initial consultation with Jake right through to handover—on schedule and on budget—nothing was ever too much trouble. Jake, at the helm, is clearly well-versed in every aspect of the trade, and you couldn’t hope to meet a nicer guy. The same goes for his outstanding crew—Zac, Bilal, and Ali—whose work ethic and attention to detail were remarkable. Do yourself a favour and look these guys up the next time you need substantial waterproofing or remedial works carried out. You won’t be disappointed. Thank you, Jake and team—we genuinely appreciate your efforts!

  Had a leak in the balcony for quite some time, decided to get a local handyman around that made the problem worse. Decided to up the game and called Ensure. Great management, easy to talk to and very fair quotation. Would recommend to anyone who needs waterproofing or any remedial building services.

  I am very pleased to recommend Ensure Waterproofing & Remedial Building. The job carried out was to Remove, Repair and Replace balcony tiles. A detailed ‘Scope of Works’ was prepared by Ensure and despite difficulties with accessing the site due to ongoing roadworks, the job was completed within a pleasing time frame. Jake and his team were very professional, friendly and trustworthy to have onsite at all times. I am extremely happy with the finished work and the clean work site on completion. Many thanks and happy client.
