Basement Tanking in Aberfeldy
Cementitious tanking and cavity drain systems for basements, cellars and below-ground rooms.
Aberfeldy 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 Aberfeldy reflects the wider Perthshire pattern — stone villas, harled cottages and rural highland-edge properties, and harling repair on stone and frost damage at altitude.
The area sees wet with cold upland conditions, which is the single biggest factor in how long any render lasts here. The county rises from lowland perth into highland conditions, and exposure varies enormously across relatively short distances.
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 Aberfeldy
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.
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.
