Membrane, not paving
The card is waterproofing the balcony or deck. It is not a paved-patio page and not a carpenter's timber deck.

Balcony and deck waterproofing in Somerset West
Balcony and deck waterproofing in Somerset West — contractor membranes on concrete balconies and decks. Not a paved patio and not a timber-deck carpenter.
01
A balcony membrane should stop the drip into the room below — falls, upstands and outlets included — not a paved patio and not a new timber deck.
Balcony and deck waterproofing in Somerset West is a membrane job on a concrete balcony or an external deck that is letting water into the room below, the soffit, or the wall it meets. Complexes and houses in the Helderberg both show this brief. It is not a paved patio, and it is not building a timber deck. Tiles on a balcony often sit on a failed layer. Sometimes the tiles have to come up so the membrane can be done properly. Sometimes a system can be applied over existing tiles. That is a site question: falls, upstands, outlets, movement joints, and how the door threshold is detailed. We will not invent a always-over-tiles rule or an always-strip rule. Photos of the soffit, the balcony surface and the suburb start the quote. A site inspection still decides. Strand apartments and estates are ordinary balcony briefs considered from Somerset West. Gordon's Bay is coverage. No prices, no written year.
What good work includes
Scope the complete requirement.
Falls, upstands and outlets
A layer that ignores the threshold, the outlet and the upstand will fail there. Those details sit in the brief.
Tiles up, or over existing — a site call
We inspect. We will not publish a one-line rule that tiles always stay or always come up.

Straight answers
Questions about balcony and deck waterproofing.
Final recommendations depend on the site. These are useful starting points.
The balcony is leaking into the room below — do tiles have to come up?+
Often yes, if the failed layer is under the tiles. Sometimes a system can go over existing tiles. Inspection, not a slogan.
Can a balcony be waterproofed over existing tiles?+
Sometimes, if falls, upstands and the tile condition allow it. We will not invent that as always. Site inspection.
Is this a paved patio or a new timber deck?+
Neither. This is a waterproofing membrane on a balcony or concrete deck.
