Flooding in London is becoming an issue for both existing and new properties. Groundwater is having a heavy impact on the city, with homes in Hammersmith, Fulham, Southwark and Wandsworth being most affected. Heavy rainfall, rising groundwater levels and deep excavations for new developments have changed the course of water in the ground, causing many previously dry basements to flood unexpectedly.
It is important to waterproof your London basement against flooding, but you might find that cementitious basement tanking isn't right for your property or to the high standard your property deserves. Cutting corners means more risks. At London Waterproofing Solutions, we have seen many examples of failures due to inadequate design, poor installation or incorrect use of products.

I had a basement of a pub in Clapham Junction that had flooding issues for years.
This was due to the water table so this was groundwater flooding. Peter attended within a week and gave us a comprehensive quote of exactly what was wrong.
Whilst the price may seem high at the outset, the works won’t be found cheaper elsewhere and especially so efficiently.
If i’m going to be honest, I don’t even think LWS made any profit here as they did an immense amount of work installing the deflooding systems. Really happy with the works and guarantee provided and would recommend them again in a heartbeat

Peter visited our property promptly and did a quick assessment of our basement. It turns out that the damp is likely caused by other issues so rather than push his services, Peter suggested some alternative solutions. I therefore haven't used the services of London Waterproofing Solutions, but was very impressed with the professionalism shown in the assessment. Thank you!

I took London Waterproofing Company's advice and allowed them to treat a wet wall in my Grade II Victorian flat conversion in 2017 and I have realised in recent months that the wall is as wet as ever and the stale smell persists. A Victorian house needs to be treated with Lime and I would have expected a professional company to know better.
Further to this, their solution to water ingress coming from gaps in steps above was to install a large drain in the ground. The drain has not collected one single drop of water since 2017. There were other very concerning problems that I won't ramble on about

Peter visited us promptly after we contacted him regarding concerns of damp in our 17th Century property that we have recently moved into.. He gave us his professional advice which was to provide adequate ventilation as the humidity levels were high and to keep a general eye on the house going forward. It was a real pleasure to deal with an honest person who, unlike others, was not just trying to sell something. Thank you Peter, you have put our minds at rest and a week on after having windows open for a few hours every day, the humidity levels are now normal!

This is a company provide an excellent service. They responded very quickly to my initial enquiry. They provided plenty of information with their quote. They gave me options and did not encourage me to go for the most expensive one. I was always able to contact the surveyor to answer my queries. The work was carried out very efficiently indeed. They took great care to protect my floors and to clean up afterwards.

I had the team into tank our cellar which had a major problem with damp. They came in and finished the job within two days and later installed a ventilation fan. They were incredibly quick, clean and professional. The price I think is fair given the quality of the job. When quoting for the work they stood out as they spent time really understanding how to resolve the damp issue vs. others who just wanted to provide a standard solution which wouldn’t have worked.

We were victims of a major sewage flooding affecting about twenty properties. London Waterproofing were recommended by similarly affected neighbours. I don't quite know what we would have done without them. They visited us speedily, gave advice we understood and was practical, and represented us to the insurance company. Their quote was precise, reasonable - and what we paid in the end. There were no surprises. Just a helpful and supportive partner in our adversity. They moved appointments to fit around our builder and we will forever be grateful for their advice, reassurance and the quality of

Was riding my motorbike doing the CORRECT speed and one of their rude drivers came up behind me and started tailgating me for half a mile, then beeped at me as he went past and stuck his middle finger up. Certainly don't advise doing business with a company with manners and attitude like that. Very rude company.
