Basement Tanking in Walsall
Cementitious tanking and cavity drain systems for basements, cellars and below-ground rooms.
Walsall property owners come to us for basement tanking for one of two reasons: something has failed, or the house looks tired.
Across West Midlands, Victorian and Edwardian terraces, vast interwar semi estates and postwar housing dominates, and pebbledash removal on interwar semis and EWI on solid-wall stock is what we are called out to most often.
Local conditions bring a moderate urban climate with a heat-island effect, and that has a direct bearing on which systems are worth specifying. The conurbation holds one of the largest concentrations of 1930s pebbledashed semis in the country, which drives most of the domestic work here.
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 Walsall
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.
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.
