Type B Waterproofing
Our team understands that effective Type B waterproofing is essential to protect your property from external sources of moisture, such as groundwater and rain. It acts as a shield to prevent water from penetrating your property’s structure, ensuring that your building remains dry, safe, and free from water-related issues. Type B waterproofing is an integral part of our comprehensive range of services designed to safeguard your property’s longevity and structural integrity.
What Is Type B Waterproofing?
Type B waterproofing, also known as structural waterproofing or tanking, is a method employed in the construction or renovation phase of below-ground structures like basements, underground car parks, and tunnels to prevent water ingress into the building’s structure. It involves the creation of an internal barrier using materials like waterproof membranes, coatings, or cementitious renders, which are integrated into the structure itself, becoming an integral part of the construction. Typically applied during new construction projects, Type B waterproofing must be installed by trained professionals and may require periodic maintenance to ensure its continued effectiveness in keeping the interior spaces dry and free from water damage. The choice of waterproofing method depends on factors such as the building’s design, site conditions, and local regulations, and consulting with a waterproofing specialist or engineer is advisable to determine the most suitable solution for a specific project.
Professional Installation of Type B Waterproofing
When it comes to Type B waterproofing, professional installation is crucial. Our team of experts possesses the knowledge, experience, and skills required to install Type B waterproofing systems with precision and expertise. We understand that improper installation can compromise the effectiveness of the waterproofing, potentially leading to water-related problems further down the line. Our commitment to professional installation ensures that your property receives the highest level of protection against water ingress.

Terribly disingenuous, do not use!
We asked London property preservation to sort a bit of damp in our lower ground in 2020. I did not want much upheaval as I had tenants in the house. They promised us all would be sorted with little disturbance and they would guarantee the work. I got a quote, accepted it (not cheap, but o they offered a guarantee). Once they arrive on site they told me there were additional works. They showed a video, again, we agreed and paid, no questions asked. Water started coming in again… it took ages for them to answer emails (the server was apparently down), I then had to pay for them to look at the damage and now they are coming up with every excuse in the book to wiggle out of repairs. It clearly is the area they repaired, the same problem as before. I paid, I kept all reports and videos.
These are not honest trades men. Don’t use them.

I noticed a damp patch on my wall and contacted a few local damp companies to come and carry out a quote. I chose to go with London Property Preservations recommendations due to their fair price and above average customer service, they answered any and all questions and concerns I had. The works were done within schedule & the operatives were clean, tidy and polite. I’ll definitely use them and recommend them to others.

We used LPP to survey and rectify a damp problem in one of our rental properties that we own in Purley. The surveyor came out and met us at the property. He looked at the problem, proposed a remedy and quoted a good price which was much more reasonable compared to other quotes we had. They also liaised directly with our tenants as well as keeping us informed at all times. A convenient date for the work to be completed was arranged. LPP were on punctual and polite, completed the work within the agreed timeframe and left the property clean and tidy. I was extremely impressed and happy as were our tenants. Thanks to all at LLP great job!!! would never go anywhere else and would recommend to anyone.

We used LPP to survey and rectify a damp problem in a flat we own in South Croydon. The surveyor came out and met me there. He looked at the problem, proposed a remedy and quoted (which was very reasonable compared to others). LLP liaised with the tenants of the property as well as myself and arranged a date for the work to be completed. On the date of works they turned up on time, completed the work to be done and cleared up after themselves. I was extremely happy as were my tenants. Thanks LLP and the team! I wouldn’t use anyone else now…. Thanks again.

The Type B Waterproofing Process
The Type B waterproofing process is a comprehensive approach to managing and diverting groundwater and external moisture away from your property. It typically involves the use of specialised materials and systems. High-quality waterproof membranes create a protective barrier to keep water out, while efficient drainage systems are employed to channel water away from the building. Protective coatings may also be applied to enhance the water-resistant properties of surfaces. The process is designed to safeguard your property against the challenges posed by water, maintaining a dry and secure environment.
Benefits of Type B Waterproofing
Type B waterproofing offers a range of significant benefits for your property. By preventing water infiltration, it reduces the risk of structural damage, dampness, and mould growth, which can compromise the safety and health of your building and its occupants. This form of waterproofing not only extends the life of your property but also ensures that it remains a comfortable and healthy place to live or work. Type B waterproofing, when professionally installed, is a wise investment in the long-term preservation of your property.
