Struggling to get a grip on the damp and mould in your basement? Does the space sit mostly ignored, but you’d love to give it a purpose by turning it into a bedroom or a hobby area? You’re a perfect match for a basement fit out from RB Waterproofing Ltd. No matter what you dream up for your basement, our pros can make it happen!
A basement fit-out is the final state of the basement renovation or basement construction phase. It transforms the shell of the basement into a functional and beautiful space you can use as a family room, office space, man cave, and more. It comes after the structural phase of basement remodelling and includes finishing the flooring, walls, ceiling, and even the light fixtures.
The process makes your basement unique, but you need a quality contractor to ensure it is functional, beautiful, and waterproof. That’s where RB Waterproofing Ltd comes in.

With their expertise, dark and unused spaces are transformed into valuable extensions of the home, adding both value and livability.
You may have heard the terms “basement fit out” and “renovation” and wondered how they compare. Which is the right one for your home?
A basement fit out involves making major structural changes to your basement to make it usable. For example, these changes can include waterproofing and soundproofing, as well as installing insulation, heating, plumbing, ventilation, and lighting.
Renovations, on the other hand, are more focused on your basement’s aesthetics. A renovation may include painting, adding furniture, installing flooring or carpeting, and so on.
There are three types of basement fit outs to choose from: shell-core, category A, and category B. Which does your basement need?
Shell-core fit outs are the most extensive kind and the type your basement will need if it’s completely unfinished. It involves adding interior walls, power, heating, lighting, etc.
If your basement already has basic utilities in place, we can move on to a category A fit out. This entails adding things such as electrical outlets, toilets, HVAC, and fire protection systems.
Category B fit outs are the most exciting because they allow you to bring your vision for the basement to life. At this stage, we can paint the basement your desired colour, add flooring, and do much more.
Whether your basement is ready for a category B fit out or we’ll need to start from scratch with a shell-core fit out, you can trust our basement building contractors to handle your project with finesse.

If your basement has problems with damp and mould growth, we’ll need to address them before we can start working on your fit out. Below, learn the risks of rising damp and how a basement drainage specialist can help with damp proofing.
Rising damp is one of the biggest problems that basement owners in London face. It occurs when ground moisture travels upward through your walls via capillary action. To better visualise this, picture dipping a towel into a sink of water. The towel wicks up the water, and it gradually travels upward until the entire thing is soaking wet. This is a good example of how rising damp affects your basement walls.
Rising damp affects all parts of your wall, including bricks, plaster, and timber. You may see visible stains and salts blooming on the affected walls. Rising damp can cause wallpaper to peel, paint to flake off, and rotting wood. If left ignored for long enough, the mortar in your basement walls can crumble, causing a serious structural problem.
Most basements have a damp-proof course (DPC) at the bottom of the walls to prevent rising damp. However, the DPC can fail over time. In some cases, water bridges the gap between the DPC and the wall due to:
Rising damp can cause serious problems for your London home, but our contractors will come to the rescue with our high-quality waterproofing solutions.
To resolve issues such as rising damp and basement leaks, we offer tanking, which involves applying a waterproof coating to the outside of your home. This stops water intrusion and keeps your home damp-free.
We also offer cavity drainage membrane installation, which allows us to control water pressure and direct moisture into a sump pump.
