Care home waterproofing

Memory House care home

Over the years, MacLennan Waterproofing has earned the trust for numerous residential care home projects across the south of England for our reliable waterproofing solutions. Naturally, we were the perfect choice for this project in Leigh-On-Sea.

The existing care home on the site has been demolished to make way for a new, state-of-the-art 50-bed care home. This new facility will feature a cinema and pamper rooms, enhancing the quality of life for its residents. The project also includes a basement that will house essential amenities such as a kitchen, staff room, laundry room, and boiler room. To ensure the basement is well-lit, the building will include an external staircase and light wells.

Our client has entrusted us with full design and installation liability for this project, which will be covered under our £10 million Professional Indemnity insurance. At MacLennan, we take the risk out of waterproofing, ensuring peace of mind for our clients.

Hill Barn, Deck waterproofing

Hill Barn

Exciting Progress in Abergavenny Redevelopment

We are thrilled to return to Abergavenny for the next phase of redeveloping the derelict barns. Construction has advanced smoothly, allowing us to now apply our PolyM liquid membrane to the deck area above the basement.

This section of the basement extends beyond the property’s footprint, and our robust deck waterproofing solution ensures durability and reliability. This allows the client to cover the deck with any final finishes, such as grass or patio, with confidence that the basement will remain dry and habitable.

Remedial Deck Waterproofing

14 Narin Road, Poole

We’ve been called to a remedial project in Dorset to address various water ingress issues in an existing property. The client is looking to fix issues with the basement and the deck area above.

They sought our expertise for a new waterproofing design, requiring the complete removal of the existing system and installation of a new one with insurance-backed guarantees to ensure long-term integrity.

During our site visit, our experienced CSSW surveyor identified several serious issues with the original construction and design. We’ve recommended our PolyM liquid membrane for the deck area to prevent water ingress, and further investigations are planned for the basement area.

Cavity Drain Install

6 The Drive CDM

Currently, in Kingston upon Thames, our team is expertly fitting a state-of-the-art waterproofing system into a newly constructed basement. This space is destined to become more than just a basement; it will feature a garage complete with a vehicle turntable, an entertainment hub with both cinema and games room, as well as dedicated staff quarters and laundry facilities.

As the property’s structure stands completed, our certified technicians are making significant progress in the installation of an advanced cavity drain system, complete with drainage channels and inspection ports.

This basement is being transformed into a Grade 3 environment – the highest standard for habitable spaces. Our rigorous waterproofing standards ensure absolutely no water penetration or moisture buildup, meeting and exceeding the stringent requirements set by NHBC, GPI, Premier Guarantee, BLP among others.

The cavity drain system installation not only functions exceptionally but also looks impressive. We’re eager to share more updates as this project progresses.

Our comprehensive service includes full design supply and installation that aligns with BS8102:22 recommendations. We assume complete responsibility for the waterproofing design backed by our robust £10 million PI cover – all part of our unwavering commitment to quality and client peace of mind.
