Structural Waterproofing & Damp-Proofing in Central London

Specialist basement waterproofing, cellar tanking and damp treatment for Central London — backed by over 30 years' experience with the capital's most demanding period buildings.

Waterproofing Central London's period buildings

Central London — the W1, WC, EC and SW1 districts — is defined by its Georgian and Victorian townhouses, many sitting above cellars, coal holes and under-pavement vaults that were never built to stay dry. These are exactly the structures where basement waterproofing in Central London needs a specialist's touch.

We design and install waterproofing systems to BS 8102 for Central London homes and buildings — from tanking a single cellar to full Type C cavity drainage for a habitable basement conversion. Where properties are listed or in conservation areas, we take a careful, sympathetic approach.

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 Central London

Central London's period townhouses, mansion blocks and converted commercial buildings often include basements and pavement vaults that need specialist waterproofing. Across Bloomsbury, Marylebone, Fitzrovia and Clerkenwell, below-ground rooms sit close to a high water table and against damp masonry, so water ingress, damp and failed historic tanking are frequent problems.

We work throughout Central London and the neighbouring areas of Bloomsbury, Marylebone, Fitzrovia, Holborn and Clerkenwell, waterproofing basements, vaults and lightwells in listed and period buildings. Each system is designed to BS 8102 and sympathetic to the age and construction of the property.

Central London Waterproofing FAQs

Can you waterproof pavement vaults and basements in Central London? +
Yes. Vaults, coal cellars and deep basements under Central London townhouses are a regular part of our work. We typically manage water with a Type C cavity drainage system, or combine tanking and drainage where the structure and water conditions require it.
Do you work on listed and period buildings in Central London? +
Yes. Much of Central London's stock is listed or in a conservation area. We specify waterproofing that protects the fabric of the building and works within the constraints of period construction, and we set everything out in a written survey.
