Property Preparation & Waterproofing Compliance (BR2 & Surrounding Areas)
1. Pre-Work Requirements (Client Responsibilities)
Before any waterproofing or basement works can begin, the property must undergo essential checks and preparation. A full Damp & Timber Survey by a qualified specialist (ideally CSSW) is required to correctly identify the source of moisture—whether rising damp, penetrating damp or condensation—as well as any underlying defects affecting walls, floors, or foundations.
Clients must also provide safe and unobstructed access to the treatment area, which may involve removing carpets, furniture, finishes, damaged plaster, or soil around foundations. All existing services—pipes, wiring, drains—must be identified in advance, as hidden obstacles can prevent drilling, membrane installation, or chemical injection.
For basement conversions, homeowners must understand that groundwater levels can rise unexpectedly. Where Type C systems are proposed, ongoing maintenance of pumps and drainage channels is mandatory under BS 8102, ensuring long-term performance and preventing failure during high-water conditions.
2. Technical Standards for Waterproofing (Contractor Responsibilities)
All below-ground waterproofing must comply with BS 8102:2022, the UK’s primary standard for basement protection. The intended use of the space determines the required protection grade—Grade 3 being essential for habitable rooms. The standard also recommends involvement of a Waterproofing Design Specialist to ensure correct system selection and risk assessment.
Combined protection is often required in older or high-risk structures, pairing multiple systems such as:
- Type A (barrier membranes)
- Type B (integral waterproof concrete)
- Type C (drained cavity systems with sumps and pumps)
Where rising damp is present, BS 8788 governs the installation of a new Damp-Proof Course (DPC), which must sit at least 150 mm above external ground level. Many older BR2 properties require ground level adjustment before a compliant DPC can be installed.
3. Legal & Building Compliance Requirements
Basement conversions or works altering the external appearance of a property may require full Planning Permission, depending on local authority rules. All structural works, including installation of new waterproofing and underpinning, must be inspected and approved by Building Control to obtain a completion certificate.
Where a shared wall is affected, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies—requiring formal notices, neighbour consultation, and, in many cases, appointment of Party Wall Surveyors and a legally binding Party Wall Award.
4. DryFound Waterproofing Company: Full Project Support

Premium Waterproofing & Structural Protection
Initial Consultation & Property Assessment
We begin by understanding your goals and assessing your property in Bromley. Our team arranges a full Damp & Timber Survey by a certified specialist (CSSW) to identify moisture types, structural conditions, and any potential obstacles such as pipes or cables. Access to the work area must be prepared, clean, and safe to ensure a smooth start.
Planning Permission & Legal Preparation
For basement conversions or waterproofing works, full Planning Permission is required, especially if the project alters external features. We guide you through Building Control notifications, Party Wall compliance, and local council requirements, ensuring all legal and planning obligations are met before work begins.
Design & Technical Specification
Our team designs waterproofing systems in line with BS 8102:2022 and BS 8788, selecting the appropriate protection grade for the intended use. Combined systems (e.g., Type A membrane + Type C drainage) are implemented for high-risk areas, and rising damp protection is integrated where necessary to safeguard walls, floors, and structural elements.
Party Wall & Neighbouring Structures
Where work involves shared walls or foundations, we manage Party Wall Act obligations. Neighbours are formally notified, and independent surveyors are engaged if required. This ensures underpinning, excavation, or waterproofing does not compromise adjacent properties.
Construction, Groundworks & Waterproofing Installation
We supervise all stages of groundworks, excavation, and waterproofing installation. Systems are installed to achieve Grade 3 protection for habitable spaces, including drainage, pumps with alarms, and membranes. All works are carried out safely, efficiently, and in a manner that preserves property value and minimises disruption.
Completion, Testing & Post-Construction Support
After project completion, we test waterproofing, drainage, and structural integrity. Guidance is provided for ongoing maintenance of pumps and drainage systems to ensure long-term performance. Your basement or below-ground space will be fully protected, dry, compliant, and tailored to Bromley conditions, delivering premium quality and peace of mind.
