Who does waterproofing in Takoradi?

Fest Ghana Limited provides waterproofing across Takoradi, Sekondi, and the wider Western Region, using coastal-rated polyurethane systems designed for the area's high rainfall and salt-laden air. Free site assessment, fixed-price written quotes, and a 3-year workmanship warranty. Call 0555 548 001.

Why is waterproofing harder in Takoradi than Accra?

Takoradi receives roughly 1,300-1,500 mm of rain annually versus Accra's 800 mm, and sits directly on the coast with constant salt spray. The combination of prolonged wetting and chloride attack means standard inland waterproofing specifications fail 25-35% faster. Coastal-rated systems with chloride-blocking primer are required.

How much does waterproofing cost in Takoradi?

Expect GHS 95-150 per m² for a coastal-rated 2-coat polyurethane system in Takoradi, and GHS 200-300 per m² for fleece-reinforced. The premium over Accra pricing reflects the chloride-blocking primer and additional detail reinforcement required near the ocean.

Waterproofing in Takoradi & Sekondi — 2026 Guide

Takoradi and Sekondi combine Ghana's heaviest rainfall (1,300-1,500 mm annually) with direct coastal salt exposure — the harshest waterproofing environment in the country.

The Coastal-Rated Specification

For properties within 15 km of the ocean, Fest Ghana specifies:

Chloride-blocking primer — seals the substrate against salt ingress before membrane application
Fleece-reinforced polyurethane at all details — parapet junctions, drains, penetrations, and any construction joint
Two full field coats applied perpendicular to each other
UV-reflective top coat — reduces surface temperature and slows polymer degradation
Enhanced drainage falls — minimum 1:60 rather than 1:80, given the higher rainfall volume

Common Western Region Problems We Fix

Concrete roof leaks during the long rainy season (April-July, September-November)
Salt-driven spalling on sea-facing walls and balconies
Box gutter failure on commercial and port-area buildings
Basement and ground-floor damp in low-lying areas

Warehouse and cold-store roof waterproofing
Hotel and guesthouse balcony waterproofing
