Insulation and Waterproofing in Antalya: Roofs, Terraces, Damp and Facades
We stop water coming in through roofs, terraces, balconies and bathrooms at its source, and deal with damp and heat loss for good.
Buildings in Antalya face two opposite stresses: a long, hot summer and a short winter that arrives as heavy downpours. Terrace and roof surfaces that heat up by day and cool at night crack a little more every year. Winter rain gets into those cracks and shows up below as stains on the ceiling, blistered paint or crumbling plaster. Humid sea air also keeps moisture trapped inside walls.
The real work in waterproofing is finding where the water actually gets in. A ceiling stain rarely comes from the spot directly above it. It often travels metres from a drain, a broken outlet or a terrace laid with the wrong fall. That is why we locate the source first, then prepare the surface and choose a material that suits how that surface moves and is used.
Alongside waterproofing we also install external thermal insulation on facades. It keeps homes cooler in summer, reduces heating needs in winter and cuts down mould caused by condensation on inside walls. We decide together during the site visit which solution the building needs.
What's Included
Work items that are part of our standard quote.
- Site visit and locating where water gets in (moisture readings and a water test if needed)
- Removing old coatings, blistered paint and loose plaster, and cleaning the surface
- Repairing cracks, joints and drain connections, with fillets and mesh at corners
- A system suited to the surface: brush-applied coating, liquid membrane or sheet membrane
- Correcting the fall on terraces and balconies and renewing drain outlets
- Waterproofing under tiles on bathroom floors and wall bases
- For facade insulation: boards, anchors, mesh and the finishing coat
- Water test, inspection and clean-up after application
- A 3-year warranty on all our work, including plastering, painting, insulation and plumbing; terms are set out in the quote and contract.
What's Not Included
Items added on request or handled by a separate specialist.
- Re-tiling or new finishes after waterproofing (added to the quote on request)
- Roof timber and under-tile structure repairs (needs a separate survey)
- Work on shared building areas that requires a residents' decision (we guide you through the approval)
- Structural damage, cracks in load-bearing elements or groundwater at foundations (needs a structural survey)
- Interior painting and decoration (offered under our Painting service)
How the Work Proceeds
The order we follow from site visit to handover.
- 01
Site visit
We inspect on site, find where the water or damp comes from and confirm it with moisture readings or a water test where needed. The written quote states which areas are treated and with which system.
- 02
Surface preparation
We strip old coatings, loose plaster and blistered paint, clean the surface and let it dry. Cracks, joints and the area around drains are repaired at this stage.
- 03
Application
We apply the material in the number of coats and thickness the manufacturer specifies and reinforce corners and joints with mesh. For facade insulation, boards are anchored and finished with mesh and a top coat.
- 04
Test and inspection
On terraces, balconies and wet rooms we keep the surface under water for a while to check for leaks. Tiling or finishing starts only after the test passes.
- 05
Handover
We clean up, walk you through the work with photos and hand over the warranty scope in writing.
What Drives the Cost
The main variables that move the quote up or down.
- 01
Size and access
Area is a direct multiplier. Scaffolding for a high roof or facade adds cost.
- 02
Condition of existing finishes
If old tiles or coatings must be removed, demolition, debris and re-finishing are added.
- 03
Waterproofing system
Brush-applied coatings, liquid membranes and sheet membranes differ in material and labour; the choice depends on how the surface is used.
- 04
Extent of damage
How far damp has spread into walls determines how much plaster and paint must be renewed.
- 05
Number of details
Drains, chimneys, pipe penetrations and parapets each add labour.
- 06
Insulation board type and thickness
For facades, board type, thickness and finishing coat drive the total.

Frequently Asked Questions
Questions specific to this service.
Where is the stain on my ceiling coming from, and how do you find out?
During the visit we compare the stain with the terrace, bathroom or pipework above. If needed we use a moisture meter and run a water test on the suspected area. We do not recommend any work until the source is confirmed.
Can you waterproof without breaking the tiles?
On some terraces a clear or liquid system applied over the tiles works well. If the fall is wrong or water has spread under the tiles, they have to come up. We tell you which applies at the site visit.
What is the best season for the work?
Waterproofing goes on a dry surface. In Antalya spring, summer and autumn, when rain is rare, are ideal. In urgent cases we also work in winter by planning around dry days.
Will painting get rid of the damp?
No. Paint only hides damp for a while. We first stop the moisture at its source, let the wall dry out, and then renew the plaster and paint.
Does external wall insulation really make a difference?
It reduces heat passing through outer walls. Rooms warm up more slowly in summer, heating needs drop in winter and condensation mould on inside walls decreases. In apartment buildings the decision is made together with the owners.
Do you give a warranty?
Yes. We give a 3-year warranty on all our work, including plastering, painting, insulation and plumbing. The warranty terms are set out in writing in the quote and the contract.
