Basement Tanking in Armagh
Cementitious tanking and cavity drain systems for basements, cellars and below-ground rooms.
Our basement tanking work in Armagh starts with a free survey, because guessing at a render specification is how jobs go wrong.
The prevailing picture in Armagh is brick and stone terraces, rural cottages and modern estates. That means dash render repair and damp in solid-wall rural properties comes up more here than almost anywhere else. With wet with moderate inland exposure, specification matters more in this part of the country than a national price list suggests.
Local factor. Rural solid-wall stock across the county needs breathable systems, while the towns are conventional dash-rendered brick and block.
Is basement tanking right for a Armagh property?
Choose tanking for cellar and basement conversions, persistently wet below-ground rooms, and any space you intend to make habitable.
That decision gets made at the survey, not on the phone. We will tell you plainly if a different system would serve the building better — including when a cheaper one would.

FAQs
Basement Tanking in Armagh — questions
Are you insured?
Yes — full public liability cover, and we can send the certificate before we start. We are happy to provide RAMS for commercial and contractor work.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, with teams across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. If we are not the right firm for your location we will tell you rather than waste your time.
What is the difference between Type A and Type C waterproofing?
Type A is a bonded barrier that keeps water out entirely. Type C accepts ingress, then drains and pumps it away behind a membrane. Type C is more forgiving of structural imperfections.
Does a tanked basement need a pump?
A Type C cavity drain system does — it relies on a sump and pump. A Type A barrier system does not, though a pump is sometimes added as a backup.
How much does rendering cost?
It is priced by the square metre and depends on the system, the condition of the walls and access. Our guide-price tool gives an indicative range in about a minute, and the survey turns that into a fixed written quote.
Do you offer a guarantee?
Yes. Every job carries our workmanship guarantee, and where a full manufacturer-specified system is installed you also get the system warranty on top.
