What is included
Abu Dhabi roofs bake for most of the year and then take a sudden downpour, which is when cracked membranes and blocked outlets show themselves. We trace the leak before recommending anything, prepare the surface, apply the membrane system named in your quotation and flood test it before any tile or screed goes back.
- Leak tracing with moisture readings and flood or dye tests
- Removal of failed membrane, loose screed and blown tiles
- Crack, joint and drain outlet repairs
- Liquid applied and sheet membranes matched to the surface
- Upstands, corners and pipe penetrations detailed
- Flood test before finishes are reinstated
- Screed, tiling and regrouting over the new membrane
- Building or community paperwork prepared where approval is needed
- Photographs of every layer in the handover report
How it works
The same method on every job, so the result does not depend on who is on shift.
- Survey and diagnosis. A technician inspects the system or surface, takes readings and photographs, and explains what was found in plain language.
- Written quotation. You receive a written quotation against a defined scope before any work starts. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately.
- Protected, supervised work. The work area is protected and isolated, and the job is carried out by our own technicians under a named supervisor.
- Testing. Every job ends with a measured test suited to the discipline, so the result is a reading and a photograph and not an opinion.
- Report and warranty. The completed report reaches you within the hour. Any failed point is put right free of charge within 48 hours.
Waterproofing in Marina & Breakwater: what we plan for
The Marina sits on the Breakwater, the reclaimed land at the western end of the Corniche beside Marina Mall. Housing here is a small group of waterfront communities: the Fairmont Marina Residences apartments, the Marina Sunset Bay villas and apartment buildings next to the mall, and the gated Royal Marina Villas and Marina Village on Al Kasir, where many homes have private pools.
Open water lies close on most sides of the Breakwater, so salt air reaches every villa garden and balcony. Outdoor furniture, pool fittings and AC condensers corrode early, spray marks glass on the front rows, and humid summer evenings leave mould in shaded corners of terraces. Pool pumps, outdoor AC units and garden lighting take the brunt of salt air on the Breakwater. Condenser coils are washed at every service, electrical fittings are checked for corrosion, and worn parts are listed for replacement.
Royal Marina Villas and Marina Sunset Bay have gated security, so the resident registers the crew ahead. Apartment buildings need a work permit from building management and a service lift booking. Exterior changes get checked with the master community at the site visit; we prepare the paperwork.

Questions about waterproofing in Marina & Breakwater
What does waterproofing include?
A waterproofing company for villas, apartments and buildings, treating roofs, bathrooms, balconies, water tanks and pools once the leak is traced. The work includes leak tracing with moisture readings and flood or dye tests; removal of failed membrane, loose screed and blown tiles; crack, joint and drain outlet repairs.
How much does waterproofing cost in Marina & Breakwater?
We do not publish prices, because no two jobs are the same. The main factors: size and type of the system or surface; present condition and ease of access. Book a site visit: a supervisor from The MELLS looks at the work and you receive a written quotation with a defined scope before anything begins.
Who provides waterproofing in Marina & Breakwater?
The MELLS provides waterproofing in Marina & Breakwater, Abu Dhabi. The work is carried out by people The MELLS employs directly, under a named supervisor, 08:00 to 19:00, Monday to Saturday. To arrange it, book a site visit on this page or call +971 55 444 0084.
How long does waterproofing take?
Typically quoted per project, typically 2 to 3 days for a bathroom and 3 to 7 days for a villa roof, including curing and a flood test. The time for your property is confirmed with the quotation.
How do you find where a leak is coming from?
We take moisture readings, inspect the area above and around the damp, and where needed run a flood or dye test on the suspect surface. The plumbing is pressure tested if a pipe is the likelier cause.
Can a bathroom be waterproofed without removing the tiles?
A clear sealer over tiles and grout can slow minor seepage, but it is not a membrane. Where water is reaching the room below, the tiles in the wet zone have to come up so the floor can be tanked properly.
How long does waterproofing last?
That depends on the membrane system, the exposure and how the surface is used. Your quotation names the system, and an exposed roof is worth inspecting before each summer.
How do your crews get access to Marina & Breakwater?
Royal Marina Villas and Marina Sunset Bay have gated security, so the resident registers the crew ahead. Apartment buildings need a work permit from building management and a service lift booking. Exterior changes get checked with the master community at the site visit; we prepare the paperwork.
How do you protect natural stone in a waterfront villa?
Stone is identified on the first visit and a small area is tested before cleaning. Marble and limestone get pH neutral products, and outdoor stone is rinsed of salt with clean water before it is scrubbed.
How do I choose a company for waterproofing in Marina & Breakwater?
Ask four things: who employs the people who will come, whether the scope is written down before work starts, how the result is checked, and what happens if something is missed. The MELLS uses its own staff, quotes in writing after a site visit, checks every job (a measured test for every job, with photographs before and after) and puts right any failed check free of charge within 48 hours.
How are visits to Marina & Breakwater arranged?
Visits in Abu Dhabi are booked by appointment between 08:00 and 19:00, Monday to Saturday. Call or send the form and we agree the earliest time a supervisor can come to you.
