Tanking Service for Cellars and Basements in Hastings

Because the walls of basements and cellars are located underground, these spaces in a house are particularly vulnerable to damp. Our tanking service will protect the walls from the ingress of moisture, turning a previously unusable room into a functional, dry living space. Based in Hastings, we work across Sussex, Surrey and Kent. While our services are most commonly used by those in the construction trade, we also carry out work for domestic customers.

How to Keep a Damp Cellar Dry – For Good

Cellars and basements are often riddled with damp as water from the earth is drawn through the walls by capillary action. That renders them unpleasant to use for anything other than storage of items that are impervious to damp and mouldy conditions. Cellar tanking can convert such a space into a more comfortable environment for storage or day to day living, adding an extra room and therefore value to a property.

Cellar and basement tanking involves applying an impermeable waterproof coating to the walls and floors which prevents water from entering from the surrounding earth, therefore preventing issues related to damp. Often undertaken in conjunction with other damp proofing measures, this method of protecting below-ground spaces is highly effective provided the proper preparation is carried out.
