Services
Basement Waterproofing
Design and installation of comprehensive waterproofing systems for basement extensions. Our solutions include cavity drain membranes and cementitious coatings that create habitable spaces below ground level. Systems are specified according to BS 8102:2009 standards and project-specific requirements, ensuring protection against water ingress while maintaining healthy living environments.
Waterproofing Design
Specialist design consultancy for structural waterproofing projects. Our chartered professionals assess site conditions, intended usage, and performance requirements to specify optimal systems. Services include early-stage design input, material selection, and compliance with British Standards, ensuring effective long-term protection against groundwater ingress in new and existing structures.
Cavity Drain Membranes
Installation of high-performance cavity drain membrane systems for below-ground structures. These systems manage water ingress through controlled drainage rather than pure resistance. Our solutions incorporate sump pump installations and drainage channels, particularly suitable for retrofit applications where external waterproofing may not be feasible, ensuring long-term structural integrity.
Pressure Grouting
Specialist pressure grouting for remedial waterproofing of existing structures. This technique involves injecting sealants into cracks and joints under pressure to create watertight seals. Ideal for repairing concrete structures and masonry walls, our methods restore structural integrity while preventing future water penetration in challenging subterranean environments.
Technical Consultancy
Comprehensive technical support for waterproofing projects, including material specification, system design, and compliance verification. Our chartered professionals provide independent advice without manufacturer affiliations, ensuring objective recommendations. Services extend to project management, quality assurance, and expert witness testimony, supporting architects, contractors, and property owners throughout the construction process.
