Basements

​Transforming a basement into a usable living space adds significant value and functionality to a property. However, because basements are mostly below ground, they are more exposed to damp issues like hydrostatic pressure (penetrating damp), rising damp, and condensation. But don’t let this discourage you! As basement specialists, we handle numerous basement projects each year, ensuring that your space is protected and optimized for comfortable living.

We recommend a Cavity Membrane System as this is extremely reliable and versatile to deal with most situations. This utilises a studded membrane to line the walls and floors to provide a dry internal surface. The walls can then be dry lined or plastered, and the floors can be screeded or overlaid with chipboard flooring.

Where there is a risk of flooding or water flowing, the cavity membrane systems are used in conjunction with drainage and a sump and pump.

Our waterproofing treatments come with a comprehensive 10-year guarantee. For added peace of mind, we also offer an optional fully secured guarantee through the Guarantee Protection Insurance Company Limited. Described by the Director General of Fair Trading as "a landmark in the field of consumer protection," this scheme provides complete coverage for you and any future owners of the property.​
