Street, Somerset
Basement Tanking in Street
Cementitious tanking and cavity drain systems for basements, cellars and below-ground rooms.
We carry out basement tanking across Street and the surrounding Somerset area throughout the year.
Most of what we see around Street reflects the wider Somerset pattern — Bath stone, cob cottages, Georgian terraces and modern coastal housing, and lime work on Bath stone and cob, coastal weathering at Weston-super-Mare.
With wet south-western conditions with coastal exposure, specification matters more in this part of the country than a national price list suggests. 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 Street
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.
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.
