Commercial Waterproofing Services Across Scotland

Wise Property Care have been providing waterproofing services for commercial clients and building contractors for decades. With branches throughout Scotland, we offer a localised service with our qualified team of surveyors having years of experience designing waterproofing systems.

Many properties in Scotland have basements, cellars or below ground spaces are susceptible to water ingress or lateral penetrating damp, so require professional waterproofing techniques to ensure usability and durability, long term.

For commercial projects it is essential to use a CSSW qualified surveyor who can work closely with you from the design stage through to installation. Our systems are designed to British Standards 8102 - the industry standard for below ground waterproofing in Scotland and are backed by our rigorous quality assurance process

Whether it’s a one off project or part of a larger tender, we can deliver effective below ground waterproofing solutions in full compliance with Scottish regulations and industry standards.

A waterproofing design specialist is experienced and qualified in dealing with moisture ingress in below ground structures and providing design solutions for waterproofing systems.
They should have a CSSW (Certified Surveyor in Structural Waterproofing) qualification from the PCA. In order to make sure any below ground waterproofing project is compliant to BS8102 you should use a CSSW qualified surveyor.

Our CSSW qualified surveyor will take all environmental factors into account when designing a waterproofing system for your project. Both floor and walls are pushed inwards by ground water pressure. New builds are designed by a structural engineer to withstand the effects of ground water pressure, for existing buildings this must be taken into account when designing a waterproofing system.

A CSSW qualified surveyor should be involved at the earliest possible stage of the design process whether it's a new build project or an existing below ground space. For new builds this can mean working closely with architects and engineers in order to develop a system that meets the requirements of the end user.

For waterproofing for below ground structures it involves carrying out waterproofing surveys on site to fully understand the requirements. Our waterproofing survey reports are electronically compiled with design specifications devised in full compliance with British Standard 8102, NHBC Chapter 5.4 and the LABC Technical Manual. The provision of a full method statement is included in our service for professional buyers and specifiers.

Our surveyors will provide details on the design and installation process involved, and any details for guarantees.

Wise Property Care are experts in designing below ground waterproofing systems to BS8102 and are registered members of the Property Care Association (PCA). All installations are backed by our rigorous quality assurance process.

Waterproofing below ground spaces can be a complex task, especially when repurposing existing below ground spaces as part of regeneration schemes.

Based on the guidance from reference materials, when deciding waterproofing solutions we must take into consideration the form of the structure, the use for the internal space, and the level of risk involved

Whether you require structural waterproofing or its a basement conversion - we can provide systems designed to BS8102 including Type A barrier protection, and Type C - Cavity drained protection.

If you choose to go ahead with a Wise Property Care designed basement system, you are in safe hands. Our experienced contract management teams working from our network of local branches will communicate with you and your team throughout the project.
