How much does roof waterproofing cost per square metre in Metro Manila?

AEDO Construction's 2026 estimate for a flat concrete roof or exposed slab is ₱560 to ₱760 per square metre, with materials and labour, using a cementitious system. No Metro Manila breakdown was found, and the figures come from AEDO's own cost model. Get at least three quotes that state the area measured and the system used.

Acrylic or cementitious: which should I choose?

Acrylic coatings are cheaper per square metre, at about ₱500 to ₱650 in AEDO's estimate. Ask the contractor which system suits your surface, how each one is expected to last, and whether the warranty depends on the system chosen.

Why does a ceiling leak when it has not rained?

Water can come from a bathroom above, a pipe in the wall, or a leak that only shows when a tank overflows or the shower runs. Check the bathroom floor and the pipes before blaming the roof. A plumber or a waterproofing inspector can trace the path with a water test.

Can waterproofing be done during rain?

Not safely. Coatings need a dry surface and time to cure, so rain can wash out a fresh coat and leave a weak spot. Stop work and cover the surface if rain starts. Where possible, plan the work for the drier months from December to May.

Do I need a permit for roof work in a condo?

Often, yes. Many buildings require an admin permit for work on the roof deck or balcony, and set rules for access, noise, and the materials that go up. Ask the admin before the contractor starts, so the work is not stopped halfway.

What should a waterproofing warranty cover?

Ask for it in writing. A warranty should state the period, what it covers, and what it excludes, such as new cracks or damage caused by other work on the building. For Taskly bookings, the terms in the tips above apply to the job as agreed.

About the job

About waterproofing in Metro Manila

Waterproofing protects roofs, slabs, bathrooms, and walls from water that gets in through cracks, joints, and worn coatings. In Metro Manila the usual problems are a roof slab that holds water in puddles, a parapet that lets rain through, a bathroom floor that seeps into the room below, and damp patches on an outside wall. A tagas (leak) often shows first as a stain on the ceiling, but the water usually enters higher up, so the source can be far from the stain.

The rainy season, roughly June to November, is when leaks appear and when waterproofing is most needed. It is also a difficult time to apply coatings, since most cementitious and acrylic systems need a dry, cured surface. Ask the contractor to plan the work for a dry spell and to check the forecast before each coat. In condos, roof and balcony work often needs an admin permit and access to the roof deck, so start that paperwork early.

What is included

An inspection of the roof, slab, or bathroom to find where the water enters
Removal of loose old coatings and cleaning of the surface
Repair of cracks and joints with a sealant or mortar patch before the coating
Flexible cementitious waterproofing in the number of coats quoted
Flashing or sealing at the parapet, pipes, and drains
A water test after the coating cures, before the job is signed off
A written description of the system, the number of coats, and the warranty period

How it works

How booking waterproofing works

01
Describe where the water shows up and when. Say whether it follows rain, appears after a shower, or happens all year.
02
Ask for an inspection before the quote. A good quote names the source of the leak and the system to be used, not only a price per square metre.
03
Taskly taskers are verified with ID and NBI checks before they take jobs. Book the work for a dry spell, and confirm the admin permit and roof access before the crew arrives.
04
Ask for a water test after the coating cures, and check it before you pay the final balance. Keep the quote, the coat count, and the warranty terms together.

Before you book

Tips for booking waterproofing

Clear the roof drains and gutters before the rainy season. Blocked drains make water pond, and standing water wears down coatings faster than rain alone.
Ask for the number of coats in writing. AEDO notes that a third coat adds roughly 30% more material and labour, so a two-coat quote and a three-coat quote are different jobs.
Ask whether surface repair and crack filling are included. These can change the total more than the coating itself, and AEDO's bands exclude them.
Do not coat over a wet surface. Ask the contractor how long the surface must dry before the first coat, and plan the work around that time.
Booked through Taskly, card payment is held until the job is done. If the job isn't done as agreed, report it within 7 days and Taskly arranges a free redo, or refunds the held payment if it can't be fixed.
