Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers,
before you call

The questions Dubai property owners ask most before booking a waterproofing assessment.

What areas of Dubai do you cover?

We serve all of Dubai, including Downtown, Business Bay, Dubai Marina, JBR, JVC, JLT, Al Barsha, Arabian Ranches, Jumeirah, Mirdif, Deira, Bur Dubai and surrounding communities.

How long does roof waterproofing take?

Most villa roofs take 2 to 4 days depending on size and the system used. Larger commercial roofs can take one to two weeks.

Do I need to vacate the property during bathroom waterproofing?

Usually not. Work is contained to the treated bathroom, which is typically out of use for 24 to 48 hours while the membrane cures, but the rest of the home stays livable.

Do you offer a warranty on your waterproofing work?

Yes, every project is backed by a written workmanship guarantee covering both the application and the materials used.

Can a leak be repaired without breaking the whole floor?

In many cases yes. Non-destructive leak detection lets us target the exact failed section of membrane instead of demolishing the entire floor or wall.

Which waterproofing system is best for a Dubai rooftop?

Torch, APP and SBS membranes are most commonly used on Dubai rooftops because they withstand high surface heat and UV exposure. The exact choice depends on the roof's exposure and expected movement — we confirm this during inspection.

How much does waterproofing cost in Dubai?

Cost depends on the surface area, system required and current condition of the substrate. We provide a fixed quote after a free on-site inspection — no estimate is given sight unseen.

Do you work with facility management companies?

Yes, we regularly work with property managers and facility management companies on both scheduled maintenance and emergency leak response across their portfolios.

How do I know if I need waterproofing or just a repaint?

If paint is peeling, bubbling, or staining keeps returning after repainting, the cause is usually moisture beneath the surface, which paint alone cannot fix. A waterproofing assessment identifies the source before any cosmetic work is done.

Is Ahmed Renovation a general construction or fit-out company?

No. Ahmed Renovation specializes exclusively in waterproofing services and does not carry out general construction, fit-out or renovation work.
