Structural Waterproofing & Damp-Proofing in Camden

Specialist basement waterproofing, cellar tanking and damp treatment for Camden — backed by over 30 years' experience with the borough's period housing and basement flats.

Waterproofing Camden's period property

Camden's mix of Victorian terraces, converted period houses and lower-ground flats drives steady demand for waterproofing and cellar-conversion work. Below-ground flats and original cellars are particularly prone to damp and water ingress, especially where earlier work was done badly.

We install BS 8102 systems tailored to Camden's housing — tanking, Type C cavity drainage and damp treatment — to keep basements dry and usable. From lower-ground flats to full basement conversions, we specify the right approach for the building.

Every job starts with a free survey and an honest diagnosis of what's really causing the water or damp problem.

Waterproofing & damp specialists for Camden

Camden's housing is dominated by Victorian and Georgian terraces around Camden Town, Kentish Town and Primrose Hill, many with original cellars and lower-ground flats. These solid-wall basements sit on London clay and were never built to be dry, habitable rooms, so rising damp, penetrating damp and water ingress through below-ground walls are common — particularly where earlier tanking has broken down.

We regularly waterproof lower-ground flats, convert damp cellars and treat rising damp in period property across Camden and the surrounding areas of Kentish Town, Gospel Oak, Belsize Park and Holloway. Whether you have a single damp wall or a full basement conversion in mind, we specify a BS 8102 system matched to the building.

Camden Waterproofing FAQs

Do you waterproof lower-ground flats in Camden? +
Yes. Lower-ground and garden flats across Camden Town, Kentish Town and Primrose Hill are some of our most common projects. We usually install a Type C cavity drainage membrane so any water is managed to a sump and pump, keeping the flat dry without disruptive external excavation.
Can you treat rising damp in a Camden period terrace? +
Yes. We diagnose the true cause first — rising damp, penetrating damp or condensation are often confused — then treat it with DPC injection, membranes or replastering as appropriate, backed by a written guarantee.
