Cemplas keeps home dry from top to bottom
Cemplas Waterproofing and Concrete Repairs Ltd played a role in making sure that work on a property in Holland Park, London, was first rate from top to bottom. Main contractor Coniston Ltd called in specialist Cemplas to waterproof both the basement and the roof terrace.
The £60,000 contract was undertaken by Cemplas operatives over a period of about 8 weeks and comprised applying Delta MS500 & MS20 cavity membranes to the basement walls and floor, Koster NB1 slurry to the pile caps up to DPC, and Deuxan 2C/Drainage Sheet to the roof terrace.
Cemplas, established since 1969, is ISO9001 and ISO 14001 accredited, and all work is backed up with a 10 year workmanship guarantee.
Cavity drain membranes work on the principle of allowing water to continue to penetrate the structure but control it in the air gap and divert it to a suitable drainage point or pump (if required) and can be fitted with little or no preparation to the substrate. Once fitted, wall surfaces can be dry lined or plastered directly, and floors can be screeded, or a suitable dry board system installed. This method of basement waterproofing allows decoration and floor finishes to be completed almost immediately, without long drying out periods.
To meet the demands of a growing client base, over the past few years Cemplas has expanded the waterproofing division and set up a specialist flooring division. These complement the other divisions offering concrete repair and car park resurfacing, to service customers’ needs.
