ABOUT

Two decades of getting it right,
the first time.

Twenty years in, the standard hasn’t moved: waterproofing is invisible when it’s done properly, and unforgettable when it’s not.

Anthony Whitehead

Managing Director

Why builders keep calling

Anthony grew up around the trade. School holidays meant tagging along on jobs around Auckland, and that’s where he started caring about the detail work – junctions, laps, the bits most people rush past but that determine whether something stays dry.

He spent the next decade working at some of the bigger names in the industry, picking up how other crews solved the same problems, before starting The Waterproofing Co eight years ago. Going out on his own wasn’t about being the boss – it was about builders being able to call him directly and know what they’re getting, instead of chasing an office.

Most of the work now is high-end residential to new builds and renovations on Waiheke and across Auckland’s more architectural projects.

Outside work, it’s family, golf and snowboarding when winter allows.

WHAT WE BUILD ON

Our Values

01

Honest Pricing

What we quote is what we deliver. If anything changes on site, you hear it from us straight away – not when the invoice lands.

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU

You never have to wonder what you’re actually paying for.

02

In, Done, Out

Your programme doesn’t stop for us. Our crews turn up when they say they will, finish to spec, and clear the site for the next trade.

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU

Your build keeps moving because we don’t hold it up.

03

Quality

The difference between average and excellent doesn’t show up for years – until it does. We build every membrane like we’re the ones who’ll answer for it, because we are.

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU

A finish that holds up under inspection now and under pressure later.

04

Transparency

If a substrate isn’t ready, the weather’s pushed us back, or something needs sorting before we start, you’ll know straight away.

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU

You always know exactly where the job stands.

05

Easy to Reach

Schedules shift. When they do, we’re on the phone working out the new plan with you – not leaving you to figure it out alone.

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU

Someone in your corner who works the changes through with you, not against you.
