Structural Waterproofing & Damp-Proofing in Islington
We treat damp and keep Islington cellars and basements dry. Our work covers damp proofing, tanking and cavity drainage, backed by over 30 years' experience with the borough's Victorian and Georgian terraces.
Damp proofing & tanking in Islington
Islington's old terraces are classic rising damp and cellar tanking territory. Solid walls, shared party walls and original cellars make damp and leaks common. However, general builders often get the cause wrong.
We find the true cause before we recommend any treatment. Then we install BS 8102 systems suited to Islington's period housing, such as new damp-proof courses, tanking or cavity drainage. Whether it is a tide-marked wall or a cellar you want to convert, we choose the right fix.
Every job starts with a free survey, so you know what is wrong before you commit.

Waterproofing & damp specialists for Islington
Islington's Georgian and Victorian terraces often have original cellars and lower-ground flats. You find them around Barnsbury, Canonbury, Highbury and Angel, on London clay. These rooms below ground often suffer rising damp, penetrating damp and leaks, especially when old walls meet modern living.
We waterproof basements, treat damp and convert cellars across Islington. We also cover Barnsbury, Canonbury, Highbury, Angel and Finsbury Park. Every job starts with a free survey, and we plan to BS 8102 for the specific building.
Period walls need the right fix. For example, a new damp-proof course suits a rising damp problem, while a failed cellar needs tanking or drainage. Therefore, a correct answer saves you paying for work that does not help.
