External Waterproofing Solutions

External waterproofing serves as the first line of defence against the elements. It entails fortifying the exterior of your property to create an impervious shield, effectively warding off water intrusion. Popular external waterproofing methods include cladding, which involves applying protective layers to the outer surface of your property, and membranes that create a watertight barrier.

External waterproofing solutions are particularly valuable in London, where rainfall is a common occurrence. By fortifying your property’s exterior, you ensure that moisture is kept at bay, safeguarding the structural integrity of your building. This method is instrumental in protecting against the corrosive effects of dampness, ensuring that your property remains a solid and secure investment.

Basement Waterproofing

Basements are often susceptible to moisture-related issues due to their below-ground location. Basement waterproofing is a specialised technique that focuses on creating a moisture-resistant barrier around and beneath the basement area. This comprehensive approach ensures that your basement remains dry and usable, transforming it from a potentially problematic space into a valuable asset.

In London, where heavy rainfall and high groundwater levels are prevalent, basement waterproofing is especially important. It not only guards against water seepage but also provides protection in the event of flooding, which can be a significant concern. With basement waterproofing, you can maximise the functionality of your basement while preserving the overall integrity of your property.

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.

Internal Waterproofing Approaches

Internal waterproofing techniques concentrate on moisture management from within your property. One common method, known as tanking, involves the application of a waterproof membrane to the interior walls or floors. This impermeable barrier prevents moisture from entering living spaces, ensuring a dry and comfortable environment for occupants.

Internal waterproofing solutions are essential for London properties that may not be suitable for external methods due to space limitations or structural constraints. By implementing these approaches, you can effectively manage moisture issues from within, providing your property with a reliable defence against dampness and its associated problems.
