Ancient roof terrace on apartment block in Alicante city centre gets new lease of life
Leak Proof, Spain’s leading waterproofing company, used the latest technology to revamp the Franco-era Alicante building
The waterproofing experts from Leak Proof were once again called in to prevent water ingress going into the top-floor apartment of a block of flats in the city centre of Alicante this summer. The roof of the building, which was built in 1955, had been in dire need of repair for many years and many of the previous owners had failed to refurbish it over the years.
Prior to Leak Proof’s intervention, the former property owners had tried different solutions, including the typical caucho red paint, caucho rubber with fibres and, more recently, a solution called Aqua Stop. However, none of these attempted improvements met with any success as the rain water was still finding its way through these materials.
The solution proposed by Leak Proof, a roof repair company that has been based in the Alicante province and Murcia region for over 10 years, was a polyurethane system applied by their team of roofing professionals. This advanced system can only be implemented once the area has been thoroughly cleaned, and then the primer is applied followed by two layers of polyurethane Finally, the Leak Proof installation team added a top coat of resin to finish.
It’s a crucial process as flat roofs in Spain are continuously bombarded by the elements, giving way to costly leaks. The Leak Proof systems give long-term protection against water, heat and frost damage with a guaranteed leak proof surface. Homeowners in the Murcia and Alicante regions can now contact Leak Proof for a free estimate on roofing repair and waterproofing works.

Leak Proof, for all your roofing needs in the Costa Cálida and the Costa Blanca
Leak Proof is a British father and son business based in the southern Costa Blanca for over a decade which offers services for all roofing needs, not only in the province of Alicante but also throughout the Costa Cálida and the Region of Murcia.
All kinds of properties and roofs are catered for, whether they are old or new and whether the work required is on a complete roof or only on a specific area. Flat roofs are typical causes for concern regarding leaks, for example on extensions and garages, and the specialist knowledge and techniques used by Leak Proof are also applicable to fibreglass roofing, conservatories, covered passageways and even classic old “finca”-style properties with tiling issues.
30-year guarantees are supplied with fibreglass roofing (also known as GRP Roofing) and membrane roofing, a system for used for both buildings and tanks. The purpose of membrane roofing is to move water off the roof, and the membranes used are most commonly made of synthetic rubber, thermoplastic and modified bitumen.
Leak Proof guarantee that all of the membranes they employ are UV resistant and provide insulation against both hot and cold weather conditions, making them ideal for flat roofs and the floors of solariums, roof terraces and balconies.
In addition, they use a range of specialist waterproof paints for all interior and exterior work, and offer tiling and re-grouting services.
Insurance work and community projects on residential developments and urbanizations are undertaken, and full invoices are provided.
