Structural Waterproofing & Damp-Proofing in Central London
We keep Central London basements, cellars and vaults dry. Our work covers tanking, cavity drainage and damp treatment, backed by over 30 years' experience with the capital's most demanding period buildings.
Waterproofing Central London's period buildings
Central London covers the W1, WC, EC and SW1 districts. Its Georgian and Victorian townhouses often sit above cellars, coal holes and under-pavement vaults. Because these spaces were never meant to stay dry, they need a specialist's touch.
We design and install systems to BS 8102 for homes and buildings here. For example, we may tank a single cellar or fit Type C cavity drainage for a living-space basement. Where a property is listed or in a conservation area, we take a careful, gentle approach.
Each job starts with a free survey. As a result, you get a clear answer on the water or damp problem before any work begins.

Waterproofing & damp specialists for Central London
Central London's period townhouses, mansion blocks and converted commercial buildings often include basements and pavement vaults. These need specialist waterproofing. Across Bloomsbury, Marylebone, Fitzrovia and Clerkenwell, below-ground rooms sit close to a high water table and against damp masonry. As a result, water ingress, damp and failed historic tanking are frequent problems.
We work throughout Central London, including Bloomsbury, Marylebone, Fitzrovia, Holborn and Clerkenwell. We waterproof basements, vaults and lightwells in listed and period buildings. Each system follows BS 8102 and suits the age and build of the property.
Old buildings need careful handling. A system that suits a modern basement may not suit a historic vault. Therefore we survey first, then choose the type that fits the structure. For more background, read our guide to basement tanking costs and how tanking compares with a cavity drain membrane.
