Ewyas Harold, Herefordshire
Basement Tanking in Ewyas Harold
Cementitious tanking and cavity drain systems for basements, cellars and below-ground rooms.
Ewyas Harold property owners come to us for basement tanking for one of two reasons: something has failed, or the house looks tired.
Most of what we see around Ewyas Harold reflects the wider Herefordshire pattern — timber-framed halls, sandstone cottages and rural farm buildings, and lime render on timber-frame and sandstone, and cement removal from historic fabric.
Local conditions bring moderate rainfall with rural exposure, and that has a direct bearing on which systems are worth specifying. The county has one of the highest concentrations of timber-framed buildings in england, where breathable lime is the only appropriate specification.
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 Ewyas Harold
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.
