Barn Conversion Cavity Drain Membrane System


We got involved with this lovely barn conversion due to the rear elevation wall being 5m below ground and some water ingress coming into the property after heavy rainfall.

Due to this and the further risk of running water we installed a cavity drain membrane system (Type C System) to all walls within the barn from ground floor to first floor roof including the complete floor area and drainage channel to take any water away by gravity.

Due to the membrane having to be directly plastered too due to planning authorities, We had to install thousands of fixings to get this tight enough to be able to be plastered.

We approached Drysafe with a damp proofing requirement and they have been absolute stars from start to finish! From initially meeting us at the property to explain what could be done, then overcoming changes in spec requirements with no drama no hassle what so ever ! Staying in constant contact, arranging a date to start and appearing on time, working flat out and finishing the job to a high spec, they arrived each, cleaned up each day and were a pleasure to have on site. Thanks Guys really, really appreciated!
