Structural Waterproofing & Damp-Proofing in Hampstead

Specialist basement waterproofing, cellar tanking and damp treatment for Hampstead and the wider NW3 area — backed by over 30 years' experience with large period homes.

Waterproofing Hampstead's period homes

Hampstead and the surrounding NW3 area are known for large, characterful period houses — many with substantial cellars cut into the area's clay and sloping ground. High ground water, hillside sites and heritage construction make Hampstead basements a genuine waterproofing challenge.

We design BS 8102 systems suited to these conditions, from cavity drainage for habitable basement conversions to tanking and damp treatment in older cellars. Many Hampstead properties are listed or in conservation areas, so we work carefully and sympathetically throughout.

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 Hampstead

Hampstead's hilly terrain and well-known springs make waterproofing especially important for its Victorian villas, period houses and lower-ground flats. High ground-water and seasonal water movement through the slopes around Hampstead Village and the Heath mean basements here are prone to penetrating damp and water ingress even where the walls look sound.

We waterproof period property and basement flats across Hampstead and the neighbouring areas of Belsize Park, West Hampstead, Highgate and Gospel Oak. Because of the local water conditions we usually specify a managed Type C cavity drainage system, designed and installed to BS 8102.

Hampstead Waterproofing FAQs

Why do Hampstead basements suffer so much damp? +
Hampstead sits on high ground with natural springs and variable ground-water, so below-ground walls are under sustained water pressure. A managed cavity drainage system that channels water to a sump and pump is generally more reliable here than barrier tanking alone.
Do you convert cellars into living space in Hampstead? +
Yes. We turn damp cellars and lower-ground rooms in Hampstead's period houses into dry, usable space — combining waterproofing, drainage and finishing, with a free survey and written quotation first.
