Bathroom & Kitchen Insulation
Bathroom and kitchen insulation is a waterproof layer applied to wet-area floors and lower walls before tiling. You need it in every new build and wet-area renovation to stop water migrating into ceilings and adjacent walls below.
01
The problem
Leaks from bathrooms and kitchens show up as stains and damp on the ceilings below and peeling paint — and fixing them after finishing means breaking tiles and re-finishing at a cost far beyond doing the waterproofing right initially.
02
The solution
We waterproof the floor, turn the membrane up the walls to the proper height, detail drains and pipe penetrations, then flood-test before tiling — delivering a sealed wet area that does not leak. High efficiency with guarantee.
What does execution include?
- Full waterproofing of bathroom and kitchen floors
- Membrane turned up walls to the appropriate height
- Careful detailing of drains, pipes and corners
- Flood test before tiling
- For new construction and renovations
- Compatible with tiling and finishes above
Comparison: waterproofing before tiling vs repairing after a leak
| Aspect | Before tiling | After a leak |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | Small fraction of finishing cost | Tile demolition and re-finishing |
| Disruption | Within the build schedule | Disrupts the home and occupants |
| Result | Complete protection from day one | Local fixes that may recur |
| Damage below | Prevented at source | Usually done before discovery |
Service FAQs
Do ground-floor bathrooms need waterproofing?
Yes — leaks damage adjacent walls and finishes, not only ceilings below, and lead to damp and mould.
What is a flood test?
Filling the waterproofed area with water for a sufficient period and confirming the level holds with no damp appearing below, before the waterproofing is accepted and tiled over.
