What Is Basement Tanking
Tanking is a cementitious form of basement waterproofing that has been applied to basements, cellars and other underground spaces for decades. Basement tanking is also commonly known as tanking slurry, to the walls and floor. You will often find that this slurry is supported by the installation of waterproof membranes to ensure complete protection and make sure your basement walls remain dry.
Tanking is primarily used to tackle water ingress, and basement tanking is particularly good at resisting hydrostatic pressure i.e. water pressure on underground walls from the surrounding earth. This has made tanking an extremely popular method of treating and waterproofing damp walls underground.
Our specialists will show you in detail exactly what basement tanking systems are available, how to apply them, and how it can work alongside other waterproof systems to ensure your basement remains safe and dry from leaks and flooding.

What is the difference between Tanking & Waterproofing?
You may ask what is the difference between tanking and waterproofing? This is a common question for people who are looking to convert a basement or cellar into a dry space.
Basement waterproofing typically refers to all types of waterproofing systems (barrier, integral and drained waterproofing).
Basement tanking describes the application of one type of coating or membrane (barrier protection). We provide products for all types of waterproofing and often recommend that systems are combined for optimum protection against water.
When you shouldn’t use basement tanking?
There are sytuations when tanking shouldn’t be use. Tanking is susceptible to cracking and failing in the following circumstances:
- New builds where the property is expected to “settle”
- Property subsidence
- Underground vibrations from a railway line, underground or busy road
If tanking is not an option, or your current tanking has failed due to reasons above, then there are other basement waterproofing methods that could be a better fit.

LOCAL AREA INFO
East Finchley is an area in North London, immediately north of Hampstead Heath. Like neighbouring Muswell Hill it straddles the London Boroughs of Barnet and Haringey, with most of East Finchley falling into the London Borough of Barnet. It has the greenest high road in London.
East Finchley is situated 5.4 miles (8.7 km) northwest of Charing Cross. Geographically, it is separated from the rest of Finchley by the North Circular, with North Finchley and West Finchley to the north, and Finchley Central (Church End) to the northwest.
East Finchley (East End) was first mentioned in 1365 when it formed a scattered hamlet, but by 1860 it was the most populous part of Finchley. Badly bombed during World War 2, and with the subsequent re-building, the street pattern of the Old Village was destroyed. However, the area retains a strong community feeling.
The area collectively named Finchley, which included East Finchley (East End), Finchley Central (Church End) and North Finchley, was a parish until its incorporation into the ancient county of Middlesex in 1878; Finchley was incorporated into Greater London in 1965. Although most of East Finchley falls into the parliamentary constituency of Finchley and Golders Green, East Finchley is a village in its own right and not considered to be part of the town of Finchley.
