What changes the price
- System: coatings, membranes and injection treatments last different lengths of time. Ask the expected life and the warranty terms.
- Surface preparation: cleaning, crack repair and slope correction decide how well any coating bonds.
- Area and detailing: parapet junctions, pipes and drains take more time than flat slab.
- Testing: a 48-hour ponding test before sign-off protects you. Make sure it is in the scope.
- Accessibility: terraces without a stair need material lifted by hand; this adds labour.
