PVC membrane waterproofing: A pale grey plastic membrane being welded at its seam on a flat roof

PVC membrane waterproofing A plastic sheet welded into place

A wide flat roof still leaking despite coatings? A PVC membrane separates the surface from water completely, from the seams to the edges.

What the service includes

What plastic membrane waterproofing includes

  • Inspecting the full roof and assessing the base, cracks and old joints
  • Treating cracks and levelling the base before laying the sheet
  • Spreading the plastic sheet across the full roof area without leaving gaps
  • Heat-welding the seams between rolls until each joint becomes one continuous weld
  • Securing the sheet edges at the parapet, the drains and every outlet
  • Checking the layer for continuity and the absence of blisters or gaps after finishing
How we work

From your call to a waterproofed roof

  1. 1

    Tell us what you see

    Call or message us on WhatsApp and describe the roof and where the damp or stains appear inside the building.

  2. 2

    Checking the roof and its base

    The work starts with looking at the whole roof: the fall towards the drains, any cracks, old joints and the edges at the parapet.

  3. 3

    Preparing the base

    A good layer will not hold on a cracked or dirty base, so cracks are treated and the area is cleaned before the sheet is laid.

  4. 4

    Laying the sheet and welding the seams

    The plastic sheet is spread across the full area and the seams between rolls and the edges at the wall are welded until the whole surface forms a single connected layer.

Why Al Raya

The roof is protected and you are in control

  • The membrane blocks water because it is a separate layer, not a coat that cracks
  • Welding the seams removes the weakest point in any waterproofing
  • The base is prepared before laying, not after
  • We take your request by phone call or WhatsApp message
  • The membrane is laid on a clean, even base

Questions

Questions about PVC membrane waterproofing

A bitumen roll is a tar-based material fixed with heat or adhesive, while a flexible plastic membrane has its seams welded with heat or solvent. The plastic sheet handles expansion and contraction better, and its seams are welded rather than bonded, making it better suited to large flat roofs with high thermal movement.

The membrane itself does not let water through, but any gap in the seam between two rolls becomes a direct entry point for water under the whole layer. Heat-welding the seam fuses the two edges into one piece, which is what sets it apart from simply covering the joint with an adhesive.

A plastic membrane handles movement better than rigid coatings, but wide cracks in the base need treating before the sheet is laid. A good layer loses its purpose if the base is moving or crumbling beneath it, so the work always starts with assessing the condition of the roof.

It depends on the condition of the old layer. If it is sound and level it may serve as a base, but if it is peeling or blistering it must be removed first, because any blister under the new sheet becomes a weak point over time. Assessing the surface before deciding is the right step.

Tell us the approximate size and shape of the roof, whether it is fully flat or has slopes or recesses, and where the damp or stains appear inside the building. If there is an old waterproofing layer on the roof, let us know the type if you know it. The clearer the information, the more precise our assessment of the surface on the visit.
