Roofing & Roof Replacement
Full roof rebuild when the structure itself, not just the waterproofing, has failed.
Roof waterproofing and insulation in Valencia for flat azotea roofs and pitched roofs where the structure is sound but the covering has failed or the property needs better thermal protection.
We apply a new waterproofing membrane over an existing flat roof or fit insulation between the rafters of a pitched roof, without removing tiles, battens or the roof structure itself.
Looking for a way to stop roof leaks or cut summer heat without a full roof replacement? squaremeter Reformas renews the waterproofing membrane on flat azoteas and fits insulation into pitched roofs across Valencia, Mislata, Paterna, Torrent, Burjassot, Alboraya, Manises, Quart de Poblet, Xirivella and Paiporta. The existing roof structure stays in place — we work with what is already there.
We discuss where the leaks or heat problems are, and what result you are after.
We check the roof from above and, on pitched roofs, from inside the loft, to confirm the structure is sound.
We agree the membrane system or insulation type and thickness, and prepare a fixed quote.
We clean and prepare the flat roof surface, or open sections of the pitched roof covering where insulation needs to go in.
We apply the new waterproofing membrane or fit the insulation between the rafters, then close the roof back up.
We test for watertightness, check the insulation is continuous, and hand the roof over with a workmanship warranty.
This service covers the waterproofing and thermal layers of a roof, not the load-bearing structure underneath. The aim is to stop leaks, reduce heat gain and extend the roof's working life without opening up the whole build.
Flat & Pitched Roofs in Valencia
Valencia has a lot of flat concrete roofs — azoteas — used as laundry areas, terraces or simply left unused, plus plenty of pitched roofs on villas and older houses. Each type needs a different approach, and we treat them differently rather than applying one fix to both.
If the rafters are rotten, the roofline is sagging, or a large area of tiles and battens has failed, refreshing the waterproofing alone will not solve the problem — the roof structure itself needs rebuilding. In that case, our Roofing & Roof Replacement service is the right fit; it is a separate scope of work with its own quote. If your rafters and battens are sound and only the membrane, tiles or insulation have failed, the lighter waterproofing and insulation project on this page is usually enough.
squaremeter Reformas carries out roof waterproofing and insulation projects across Valencia, working directly with homeowners, landlords and communities of owners. We explain honestly whether your roof needs full replacement or a lighter waterproofing and insulation project, show you the affected areas, and give a transparent quote before access equipment goes up.

Local Insight
In many Valencia apartment buildings, the flat roof — the azotea — is a common area owned jointly by all residents, not by whoever lives on the top floor. That means waterproofing it usually is not a private decision: it needs approval from the comunidad de propietarios, the community of owners, often through a vote at a community meeting, and the cost may be split among all owners rather than paid by one flat. Because it is classed as maintenance of a shared building element rather than a change to a private home, most azotea waterproofing projects only need a licencia de obra menor, a simplified minor-works permit from the local ayuntamiento (town hall), rather than the fuller licencia de obra mayor required for structural work. We can prepare the technical description the community administrator needs to bring to a vote, and handle the permit application once it is approved, so the paperwork does not slow the project down.

Our top-floor flat had a damp patch every autumn. Turned out it was the building's azotea, not our roof — they waterproofed the whole shared roof and coordinated with the community administrator on the cost split.
Insulated our loft from the inside without touching a single tile on the roof. The house feels noticeably cooler in summer now.
Honest about it — told us our roof structure was fine and we did not need the full replacement we had been quoted elsewhere, just new waterproofing. Saved us a lot of money.
If the roof structure — rafters, battens or the concrete slab — is sound and only the waterproofing layer, tiles or insulation have failed, waterproofing and insulation is usually enough. If there is rot, sagging or widespread structural damage, you need a full roof replacement instead.
In most cases, yes. We can apply a new waterproofing membrane directly over a sound existing surface after preparation, though badly damaged areas may need to be stripped back locally before the new layer goes on.
Not always. Insulation can often be fitted between the rafters from inside the loft space, without touching the tiles at all. If access from inside is not possible, we lift and refit sections of the covering, but the rafters and structure stay in place.
The flat roof of an apartment building is usually a common area owned by the whole comunidad de propietarios (community of owners), so waterproofing it normally needs community approval and the cost is often shared, rather than being one owner's private responsibility.
Most waterproofing and insulation projects that do not touch the roof structure only need a licencia de obra menor, a simplified minor-works permit from the local town hall. We can prepare and submit this as part of the project.
