@msn1270 - Status quo same on Facebook as well. No Response despite multiple reminders. Looks like their orders are overflowing and hence they are unable to take more at this point of time. Without Wasting further time, i zeroed on few alternatives and got the fix done. i am happy with the solution provided.

We recently got it done from a local business close to the house. From my research, there are two way:

1. Redo the "surki", i.e. break the concrete and redo it. This is more costly (2X price), takes a little longer, but is more durable and you can don't need any special precaution while using the roof later (e.g. to put chairs and tables etc.).

2. Fill cracks in roof by opening them with a cutter and filling with epoxy. Then use water proofing chemicals and coat the roof with it. Sometimes they also use a mosquito mesh type of fabric to hold the chemicals in place. This is cheaper, quicker, they give "guarantee" it will last for 5-7 years minimum. But you have to be careful not to have any sharp objects on the roof (e.g. legs of chairs) which might rip open the fabric and create holes.

My suggestion is to go for (1) if you have time and money.
Any idea on how much (per sft) does the first option (surki) cost?
