Can I do it myself? What is involved with tanking a basement?

While it may be possible to install the products yourself, we would suggest that you use a specialist contractor who has experience of the materials used,  as well as the competency to ensure the system as a whole complies to BS8102 (the British Standards Institute Code of Practice for Protection of Below Ground Structures Against Water from the Ground). Many external waterproofing systems cannot be applied in cold or wet weather. One must try to avoid split responsibility, this is particularly relevant if you wish to have an insured guarantee on the installation. The key to success is the quality of workmanship. Safeguard Europe are happy to recommend experienced contractors. Please do not hesitate to call us if  you are looking to nominate specialist companies to carry out the work.
