When do you need it?

  • Persistent damp and salts at basement wall bases
  • Render and paint are blistering and flaking
  • The outer face is inaccessible due to neighbouring plots
  • The basement is to become storage or living space

Process

Step by step

  1. 01Survey and measurement

    Our technical team measures moisture on site, inspects existing layers and details, takes dimensions and photos.

  2. 02Render removal

    Damp render is removed to a sound base and at least 50 cm above the damp line.

  3. 03Active leaks

    Leaking cracks and points are opened and plugged; fillets are formed at corners.

  4. 04Waterproofing

    Crystalline or negative-side mortar is applied in two coats as appropriate and moist-cured.

  5. 05Finish

    Finished with breathable render and mineral paint.

  6. 06Inspection and handover

    At completion we carry out a water test or visual inspection and hand over a photo report and written warranty certificate.

FAQ

Is interior waterproofing permanent?

With proper preparation it lasts long, though the wall itself stays wet. External waterproofing remains the first choice where possible.

How do you tell damp from condensation?

Moisture meters and surface temperature readings distinguish them; condensation usually appears in winter and in corners.

Can it be painted?

Yes, breathable mineral or silicate paints are recommended; plastic emulsions may trap moisture.
