The Newstead job we know best
Newstead is the part of the river where the work changed shape. The old wool stores and industrial frontages came down through the 2010s, the high-rise apartments and mixed-use towers went up, and now most of the membrane work between the river and Breakfast Creek is on a body-corporate building rather than a freestanding house.
That means our brief is rarely just a bathroom. It is six bathrooms in a refit, a podium deck over a car park with the buried membrane failing in two corners, a planter on a balcony that is feeding water into the wall behind, or a parapet on a high-rise that needs the flashings reworked before the next wet season. The body corporate paperwork, the access window, and the staging around residents matter as much as the membrane.
Where waterproofing fails on a Newstead high-rise
- Buried membranes under pavers and planters. A podium deck on a Newstead tower is the one membrane you never want to redo, because you cannot get back to it without lifting everything above. We detail the penetrations, the upturns at the parapets and the drainage to AS 4654 the first time, in a system rated for the exposure and the traffic.
- Apartment wet areas at scale. A refit means every bathroom in the stack to AS 3740, every one flood-tested before the tiler returns, every certificate handed over for the building file. That repeatability is where the wedge bites: the per-m² price, the system named, the same proof every time.
- Strata coordination. Access through a single goods lift, a noise window between nine and three, the body corporate signing off the schedule. We coordinate with the builder, the strata manager and the residents so the work happens cleanly and the certifier signs it off the first time.
Why Newstead bodies corporate call us first
A QBCC licensed waterproofer who can flood-test and issue the AS 4654 or AS 3740 compliance certificate, a written quote within one business day, photo uploads on the enquiry to speed up the diagnosis, and the membrane workmanship warranted for ten years in writing. We carry public liability to $20M, the cover a strata insurer asks for.

Remedial Leak Repair
Leak diagnosed first, then a shower re-seal or membrane make-good, so we fix the cause once rather than seal over it and watch it leak again.

Planter Box & Water Feature Waterproofing
Planter boxes, ponds and water features tanked and detailed so constant standing water and root pressure do not find their way into the structure.

After What Newstead owners say.
“Render kept blowing off the wall behind our courtyard planters. They emptied them, re-tanked with a membrane rated for constant water, detailed the drainage and reinstated them. No more damp wall behind. Tidy, careful crew.”
