Basement Tanking in Tyrone
Cementitious tanking and cavity drain systems for basements, cellars and below-ground rooms.
Getting basement tanking right in Tyrone depends far more on the substrate and the exposure than on the product name.
The prevailing picture in Tyrone is rural stone farmhouses, brick terraces and modern estates. That means driving rain and frost damage on exposed upland properties comes up more here than almost anywhere else. The area sees wet with exposed upland conditions in the Sperrins, which is the single biggest factor in how long any render lasts here.
Local factor. The sperrin uplands add altitude and frost to already high rainfall, which is a demanding combination for any external finish.
Is basement tanking right for a Tyrone property?
Choose tanking for cellar and basement conversions, persistently wet below-ground rooms, and any space you intend to make habitable.
That decision gets made at the survey, not on the phone. We will tell you plainly if a different system would serve the building better — including when a cheaper one would.

FAQs
Basement Tanking in Tyrone — questions
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.
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.
