Basement Tanking in Lurgan
Cementitious tanking and cavity drain systems for basements, cellars and below-ground rooms.
Getting basement tanking right in Lurgan depends far more on the substrate and the exposure than on the product name.
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. Rural solid-wall stock across the county needs breathable systems, while the towns are conventional dash-rendered brick and block.
When basement tanking is the right call. Choose tanking for cellar and basement conversions, persistently wet below-ground rooms, and any space you intend to make habitable.

FAQs
Basement Tanking in Lurgan
Will you need scaffolding?
For anything above single storey, yes — it is safer and produces a better finish than working off ladders or towers. Scaffold is included and itemised in the quote.
How long before I can paint new render?
Through-coloured systems need no painting at all. Sand and cement should cure for around 28 days before masonry paint goes anywhere near it.
Do you take a deposit?
For most domestic jobs we take a deposit to cover materials and scaffold, with the balance on completion. Terms are set out clearly in the written quote.
Can you match my existing render?
Usually, yes. We colour and texture match as closely as we can, though weathered render never matches a fresh batch exactly — we will be honest about how visible a patch will be.
Can any cellar be tanked?
Most can, but the right system depends on water pressure, structural condition and intended use. A survey establishes which approach is appropriate.
