Would highly recommend! Thank youPosted on Google Leah Warner-TedaldiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had Kai and Sam come to do isotherm insulation on our walls. They were great, really upbeat and friendly. They worked really hard and left the place so tidy. The work looks good so far! Review is done on the day of completion Update: we had a lot of trouble with this company in the end. The plastering work ended up needing to be redone. It took 6 weeks for it to be redone and we were left with a completely unusable room and really bad communication. There were so many times when I rang through to the switchboard and escalated matters for nothing to happen. We felt totally helpless and stranded. I have since tried to get through to their complaints team to no avail. We had the isotherm sheeting fixed which was then skimmed over the top. Once this had set you could quite easily push it in with your finger, denting it (see pic of finger dents). The company surveyor (who we asked to be sent round) said that this was expected and how the isotherm works (I would not recommend!) Luckily they sent a plasterer round to fix it, and he said the whole thing (isotherm and all) needed to be redone, and he redid it all. It now looks really good and doesn’t dent with your finger. TBH I wouldn’t recommend this company, I found them impossible to get in touch with and just gatekept at a switchboard and left us in a really vulnerable position and took 6 weeks to fix it.Posted on Google Monika NiebojTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Larry has arrived today with lots of helpful information, been very polite and understanding. Definitely recommended :)Posted on Google Amanda WilliamsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Signs Your Basement May Need Tanking
Damp Patches
Persistent damp patches on basement walls or floors are often one of the first signs that moisture is entering the structure. These areas may appear darker, feel cold to the touch or worsen after periods of rainfall.
If left untreated, damp can damage plaster, decorations and stored belongings while creating conditions that allow moisture problems to spread throughout the space.
Mould & Musty Odours
Musty smells and visible mould growth are common indicators of excess moisture within a basement or cellar. These issues often develop when water ingress combines with poor ventilation and high humidity levels.
Over time, mould can affect air quality and damage surfaces, making the space less comfortable and suitable for everyday use or future conversion projects.
Water Ingress
Water stains, pooling water or leaks after heavy rainfall can indicate that groundwater is finding a route into the basement. Even small amounts of water can lead to ongoing damp problems if ignored.
Professional tanking systems help prevent water ingress, protecting the structure and keeping below-ground spaces dry, safe and usable throughout the year.

A professionally installed system can help create a dry, usable space while protecting the structure of the property.
How do I know if my basement needs tanking?
Signs that your basement may require tanking include damp patches on walls, peeling paint, mould growth, musty odours, water staining and visible signs of water ingress. In some cases, homeowners notice increased humidity or condensation within the space. If you’re experiencing any of these issues in your Stockport property, a professional basement survey can help determine the cause and identify the most effective waterproofing solution.
How much does basement tanking cost in Stockport?

How long does basement tanking last?

When installed correctly by experienced specialists, basement tanking can remain effective for many years and provide ongoing protection for your property.
Can basement tanking be installed in older properties?
Yes, basement tanking can often be installed in both period and modern properties.

Following a detailed survey, we can recommend the most appropriate waterproofing solution for your property while taking its age and construction into account.

Basement waterproofing is a broad term used to describe methods that prevent water entering below-ground spaces.
