Structural Waterproofing & Damp-Proofing in Richmond
We keep Richmond basements, cellars and walls dry. Our work covers tanking, cavity drainage and damp treatment, backed by over 30 years' experience with riverside period property near the Thames.
Waterproofing Richmond's riverside property
Richmond's riverside setting and high water table make it a demanding part of London for basement waterproofing. Period homes close to the Thames need carefully designed systems. Because the margin for error is small, the plan matters.
We design BS 8102 systems that suit Richmond's ground-water conditions. Typically that means Type C cavity drainage with a robust sump and pump, often combined with tanking. It is the reliable, managed approach for high water table locations.
A free survey comes first, so you know the cause before you commit to any work.

Waterproofing & damp specialists for Richmond
Richmond sits beside the Thames. This brings a real flood and high water table risk to its Victorian and Edwardian houses, period cottages and riverside flats. Around Richmond, East Sheen and Kew, below-ground rooms and ground floors are prone to penetrating damp and water ingress, especially after long wet weather or when river levels rise.
We waterproof basements, treat damp and protect ground floors across Richmond. We also work in East Sheen, Kew, St Margarets, Twickenham and Mortlake. Given the closeness of the river, we usually choose managed Type C drainage to BS 8102.
Why pump the water away? Near the river, below-ground walls take more water pressure. Therefore a managed system that moves water out is usually more dependable than a barrier alone. We confirm the right choice at the free survey.
