We specialise in the cellars, basement conversions, creation and waterproofing of structures below ground. It is not always necessary to have an existing basement as these can often be constructed below an existing timber floor with very little upheaval.
Dampco in most cases use a cavity drain sealed system that conforms to British Standard 8102 – Waterproofing Structures Below Ground. This system offers many advantages over conventional tanking as it is unaffected by vibration and can equally be installed on vaulted ceilings, walls and floors.
As this system allows water penetration and diverts or pumps it to an external drain the water will not affect another part of the building that was previously dry.
Our reputation is our business; it has to be when you number banks, building societies, estate agents, architects and local authorities among your regular clients. But if you think that we are only interested in larger properties, contact us to sample the help and attention available to all. The parent company was involved from the outset in the drafting of the code of practice issued by the British Chemical Damp Course association and was amongst the founder members of the association.
We do offer the complete package from design, the drawing up of plans for Building Regulation and Planning Permission, the preparation of structural calculations and dealing with the Party Wall Act where applicable. We will be responsible for all aspects of building work, guaranteed waterproofing, all electrical and heating requirements right through to final decoration.
