Structural Waterproofing & Damp-Proofing in Islington

Specialist damp proofing, cellar tanking and basement waterproofing for Islington — backed by over 30 years' experience with the borough's Victorian and Georgian terraces.

Damp proofing & tanking in Islington

Islington's dense Victorian and Georgian terraces are classic rising-damp and cellar-tanking territory. Solid-wall construction, shared party walls and original cellars mean damp and water ingress are common here — and, all too often, misdiagnosed by general builders.

We diagnose the true cause before recommending treatment, then install BS 8102 systems — new damp-proof courses, tanking or cavity drainage — suited to Islington's period housing. Whether it's a tide-marked wall or a cellar you want to convert, we specify the right fix.

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 Islington

Islington's Georgian and Victorian terraces — around Barnsbury, Canonbury, Highbury and Angel — frequently include original cellars and lower-ground flats built on London clay. These below-ground rooms commonly suffer rising damp, penetrating damp and water ingress, especially where period construction meets modern habitable use.

We waterproof basements, treat damp and convert cellars across Islington and the surrounding areas of Barnsbury, Canonbury, Highbury, Angel and Finsbury Park. Every job is diagnosed with a free survey and specified to BS 8102 for the specific building.
