Basement Tanking in Aberystwyth
Cementitious tanking and cavity drain systems for basements, cellars and below-ground rooms.
Basement Tanking in Aberystwyth is work we take on regularly, and the Dyfed housing stock is a big part of why.
Across Dyfed, stone farmhouses, lime-washed cottages and exposed coastal housing dominates, and driving rain penetration on solid stone walls is what we are called out to most often.
The area sees very high rainfall with severe Atlantic exposure, which is the single biggest factor in how long any render lasts here. West wales takes the full force of atlantic weather, and lime-washed roughcast remains the traditional and technically correct answer to it.
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 Aberystwyth
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.
What time of year is best for rendering?
Spring through autumn is ideal. Render should not be applied in frost or in very hot direct sun, so winter work needs protection and settled conditions.
Can you render over existing render?
Sometimes, if the existing coat is completely sound and well-bonded. We hammer-test it first. Anything hollow has to come off, because covering failure just hides it.
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.
