Stopping water since 2008

We’re waterproofing experts with over 15 years of experience, knowledge and talent.

StopGaps started in 2008 as a joint sealing service that quickly evolved into a waterproofing company with multiple services. Our clients loved what we did and by dovetailing the other services into our portfolio, we quickly became a one stop shop for the industry.

We hold multiple licences for our trade which include, advanced waterproofing, joint sealing and tiling as well as thermography licences for leak detection.

StopGaps is a contracting services company servicing both commercial and residential clients throughout the Brisbane area.

Before commencing any work, we will provide you with a quote which will detail how, where and what work we will be doing for you. We believe that by giving, you the client a mental picture of what we will do, you will be better informed and more knowledgeable about why do things the way we do.

By managing your expectations it allows us to bring you along on the journey through the project, knowing it’s been done correctly every step of the way. That’s why we’ve partnered with Industry Best Construction to allow you full disclosure of what we are doing and why. IBC is a digital platform that allows you to see every process along the project journey until completion, safe in the knowledge that your project has been completed with the industry code and followed the compliance requirements.

We strive to over-engineer solutions so the system we provide never fails

StopGaps was born out of necessity to fill a void in the construction industry where professionalism was not the norm. We believed that by bringing professional, articulate tradesmen into the industry, we could change the perception that the general public had towards tradies. Since 2008, we’ve tried and achieved this goal and we thrive on giving our clients the best experience they can get with a tradesman.

See What Our Clients Are Saying..

  • I used Stopgaps for a waterproofing job on our downstairs build-in. Iain was very open and clear about the process and was able to pass on advice even before being booked for the job. Iain was able to work in with my other trades and once on site, did a very very professional job. Great job at a great rate - Highly recommended!

    -Ash (Geebung)

  • I have worked with StopGaps for multiple years at our landscape company Brookes Blooms. Iain is professional, he does the highest quality work and I can trust that everything will be done correctly so that I will have no future issues. He's a wonderful person and my go to for waterproofing

    -Brooke, Brooke’s Blooms (Richlands)

  • This renovation was more complex and involved a significant number of different trades. Again Iain's project management was excellent as were the trades people. My parents are thrilled with the result of a safer, brighter and more attractive wet area!

    -Susan (East Brisbane)

  • Iain does great work, communication is of a high level and his workmanship cannot be faulted. We highly recommend Iain to all of our clients! Thank you team StopGaps!

    -Scott, SJK Electrcial (Darra)

  • StopGaps turned up on time to review the proposed job (external waterproofing to corner of house) and give a quote. The quote was thorough in scope and reasonable in price. The work began promptly and Iain answered all my (annoying) questions and sought my feedback when relevant. Iain was very easy to deal with and work executed to a meticulous and high standard. I would not hesitate to recommend StopGaps.

    -Sheree C (Wilston)

  • Iain from StopGaps joint sealed all the skirtings throughout my house and it looks fantastic. On top of that he was professional, even going as far as to let us know he'd be 15 minutes late. I would definitely recommend StopGaps and would use them again.

    • Zoe W (Tarragindi)

  • I called in StopGaps to clean up bad workmanship and repairs at an unusual & complex industrial site. Iain arrived when he said he would, quoted promptly and then met our tight time schedule with a small team of workers. His recommendations on the products to use were excellent and the team quickly set about removing the poorly applied silicone from previous tradespeople. When the job was completed we were extremely pleased with the result, as was the end customer. I will use Stopgaps again for further installations in the future.

    -David M (Thermofisher)

  • Iain was very professional and easy to deal with and so were the guys he employed. Having built our own house and had a nightmare I know how difficult it is to find good and reliable tradesmen. I would highly recommend these guys. Thank you for all your efforts on our pool you did an amazing job in a short timeframe.

    • Melanie H (Bardon)

  • We would recommend StopGaps without any hesitation. Iain's professionalism, considered approach, attention to detail and high standards ensured a successful solution to longstanding leaking problems we were experiencing on our first and second level balconies.

    Iain has also just completed laying epoxy flooring in our garage and we could not be happier with the outcome. Professional, expert, personable service can expected on any job undertaken by StopGaps.

    -Di A (Bardon)
