Tooting's Edwardian terraces generally have shallow cellars or crawl spaces, with damp problems concentrated at the base of ground-floor walls and around old coal cellars.
We diagnose first — often a gutter, gully or raised path — and where a cellar is worth converting, install a Type C membrane with a channel and sump. Where it is not, we treat it as ventilated storage and solve the ground-floor damp properly.
A Type C cavity drain system in SW17 is specified after a survey, designed to BS 8102 for the way you intend to use the room, and installed with the drainage channel, sump and pumps left accessible for maintenance. Read the full basement waterproofing and Type C cavity drain guide, or see how it fits into a basement and cellar conversion.
Waterproofing or damp proofing in SW17?
Damp proofing deals with moisture in above-ground walls. Waterproofing protects a room that sits below ground against water pressure from outside. In Tooting we decide which one the property needs at the survey, and often the answer is an external repair first.
How a SW17 quotation works
We visit, find the source of the water, check head height, drainage outfall and any lease or listed-building constraints on your address, then issue a written scope and fixed price covering membrane, channel, sump and pumps and the finished room.

Garden designer in SW17
Tooting's terrace gardens usually work best with a clear terrace, practical access, storage and resilient planting.
South west London gardens behind terraced and semi-detached houses are often long and narrow, used as family spaces, with garden rooms, terraces and lighting frequently requested.
Our garden design and landscaping service covers layout, levels and drainage, planting, terraces and paths, garden lighting and external power, and how materials and plant reach the garden. In SW17 that access question matters: Busy high streets around Tooting Broadway and Tooting Bec, permit parking on residential streets and no rear access on most terraces.
Garden designer London →Roofing in SW17
SW17 terraces often have slate or tile roofs with rear additions, where valley gutters and flat-roof joins are key inspection points.
Typical roofs combine pitched slate or tile main roofs, rear outrigger roofs, valleys and dormers, often alongside loft work already completed or planned.
Roofing work starts with a survey and photographs, then a written scope that states whether repair or replacement is recommended: pitched and flat roofs, leadwork and flashings, guttering and rainwater goods, and the scaffolding the roof needs. Planning, conservation and freeholder requirements for your address are confirmed at survey.
