Basement Waterproofing Specialist in Bookham
Considering a basement conversion? The first step should be to implement the correct basement waterproofing measures to help protect your investment. We’re your local experts in basement waterproofing in Bookham. For the past 50 years, we’ve been supporting homeowners like you to implement the latest measures to protect their homes from water ingress.
Basement waterproofing is often carried out during construction, but these measures are known to fail over time. When this happens, your basement could be at risk of water ingress, which could cause extensive damage to your possessions if you use the space for storage. If your basement has been left unfinished, you’ll need to implement some form of basement waterproofing before you can start conversion work.
Basement waterproofing in Bookham
For over 50 years, we have been supporting the residents of Bookham with all of their basement waterproofing requirements. We help homeowners like you to take control of their damp problems and maximise the space in their homes, whether you plan to turn your basement into a functional living space or you simply want to use the space for extra storage.
You could unlock additional potential in your property by expanding into the basement space. This is popular for those who want to build an extension without giving up their garden space. We have helped Bookham homeowners to turn their basement spaces into everything from home offices and cinemas to guest bedrooms and playrooms.
Before you start any conversion work, it’s essential to check that the space is properly protected against moisture ingress. Even if you’ve had basement waterproofing in the past, these measures are known to fail over a long period, so don’t assume that your home is protected. A simple damp survey will confirm if you’re good to go ahead with renovation work.
Basement waterproofing methods
The ideal method for protecting your basement space will be a number of factors. We can help you to choose the right method for your home. The first method involves filling any larger gaps and then coating the walls and floor with a waterproofing slurry. This hardens into an impermeable barrier that will help to stop moisture from entering the space.
The second method allows water into the space, but then prevents it from getting into the living space. This method of basement tanking uses sheets of membrane to create a structure within a structure. Water gathers beneath the membranes and is then directed into channels so it can be pumped out of your home. You don’t have to know which method is right for you, as we can guide you through the process.

Who needs basement waterproofing?
Every homeowner can see the benefits of basement waterproofing. Even if you don’t plan to use the space, your home will benefit from the additional protection. An unfinished basement space is prone to damp, mould and mildew which can impact the air quality in your home. Damp can also lead to dry rot and damage to your cavity wall ties, which are two risk factors for structural damage.
If you’re planning to convert your basement into a functional living space, you need to ensure the proper waterproofing measures have been carried out before you move forward with plans. This will help to protect your investment and ensure you don’t have to repeat the work after a damp problem is discovered further down the line.
