Basement Tanking in Glastonbury
Cementitious tanking and cavity drain systems for basements, cellars and below-ground rooms.
Getting basement tanking right in Glastonbury depends far more on the substrate and the exposure than on the product name.
Across Somerset, Bath stone, cob cottages, Georgian terraces and modern coastal housing dominates, and lime work on Bath stone and cob, coastal weathering at Weston-super-Mare is what we are called out to most often.
Glastonbury sits in a part of the UK that gets wet south-western conditions with coastal exposure — worth factoring into any render decision. Bath's georgian stone is subject to world heritage constraints, and cob in the levels needs lime for exactly the same reasons as in devon.
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 Glastonbury
How long does a rendering job take?
A typical three-bedroom semi is usually one to two weeks on site including scaffold, preparation, application and finishing. Weather, wall condition and the system chosen all move that.
Do I need planning permission to render my house?
Usually not on a standard house, but you will if the property is listed, in a conservation area, or if rendering would significantly change its appearance. We flag it at survey.
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.
