Understanding the roof brick installation process helps Qatar property owners know what to expect, verify their contractor is following correct procedure, and appreciate why quality installation matters. Here is the complete professional process as delivered by Noor Prime Trading & Services across Qatar.
The Roof Brick Installation Process
- Roof assessment — the existing roof is inspected for condition, drainage falls, penetrations, and any waterproofing deficiencies that must be addressed before installing bricks above.
- Drain clearing and maintenance — all existing roof drains are cleared and confirmed flowing correctly. Drainage is critical — blocked drains under a brick layer are inaccessible until the bricks are lifted.
- Waterproofing repair or installation — if the existing waterproofing is deficient, it is repaired or replaced with a correct membrane system before any insulation or bricks are installed. There is no point installing roof bricks over a failing membrane.
- XPS insulation boards (where specified) — rigid insulation boards are laid in a continuous layer over the cured waterproofing, with joints staggered and edges properly trimmed.
- Separation / filter layer — a geotextile filter fabric is laid over the insulation or waterproofing to prevent fine particles from migrating into the drainage layer and to maintain separation between materials.
- Roof brick laying — light-coloured, high-albedo concrete roof bricks are laid in a regular grid pattern, with even joints allowing drainage water to flow freely between them and through to the outlets below.
- Edge details — bricks are cut to fit neatly at parapet walls, upstands, and penetrations, with no loose or protruding edges that could shift under wind load.
- Final inspection — drainage outlets are confirmed unobstructed, brick coverage is complete and even, and all edges are secured.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does roof brick installation take?
Roof brick installation for a standard villa roof typically takes 1–3 working days depending on roof area and the need for any waterproofing preparatory works. Larger roofs and those requiring full waterproofing works before brick installation take longer.
Must waterproofing be done before installing roof bricks?
Yes. Roof bricks must always be installed over a correctly waterproofed slab. Installing bricks over a failing membrane traps moisture, accelerates membrane deterioration, and does nothing to address the underlying leak risk. Waterproofing must always come first.
