When starting a new basement waterproofing project, contractors, developers and homeowners need a combination of approved architects and specialist contractors on hand. Warren Muschialli, Managing Director of Newton Waterproofing, says his company can give you just that…

Newton Waterproofing, the UK’s leading independent designers and suppliers of guaranteed waterproofing systems, has launched a nationwide network of approved architects and specifiers to improve the process of designing and specifying waterproofing systems.

The Newton Specification Partnership consists of a network of approved members who work directly with Newton Waterproofing to provide high-quality, technically-sound waterproofing solutions for any basement or below-ground structure.

Newton Specification Partners can not only undertake the design of the entire project, they also understand the importance of good waterproofing design. With this in mind, every partner receives an annual RIBA approved CPD presentation from Newton to ensure that they are up to date with the latest waterproofing developments.

All partners can also make use of Newton’s extensive library of ready-made waterproofing designs, including their wide selection of Solution Sheets for any type of structure. These resources are integrally linked to the Newton Waterproofing Index, a unique scoring system for quickly and easily assessing the effectiveness of any waterproofing design.

Learning from experience

The new Partnership was inspired by Newton’s Specialist Basement Contractors (NSBCs) network, which aims to provide the highest quality installations in all aspects of domestic and commercial basement waterproofing.

The select group of approved waterproofing contractors all follow strict membership criteria, as well as demonstrating high quality workmanship, resulting in a meaningful scheme that provides unsurpassed technical excellence.

In addition, NSBCs can take full design liability on a project, fulfilling the role of the ‘waterproofing specialist’ as recommended by British Standard 8102:2009, the ‘Code of Practice for Protection of Below Ground Structures Against Water from the Ground’.

A perfect combination

By combining the resources of both the NSBC and Specification Partner networks, Newton customers will receive a comprehensive design and a guaranteed installation that achieves the desired result on any waterproofing project.

Newton MD Warren Muschialli comments: “We’re very proud of both our Specialist Basement Contractor network and our new Specification Partnership. By using these two networks in combination, we can ensure that any basement waterproofing requirements will be fully taken care of all the way from the design to the supply, the installation and the guarantee.”

Impressive track record

Based in Tonbridge, Newton Waterproofing is a family run business of over 170 years that supplies, designs and installs effective, robust, and third-party accredited Type A, B and C waterproofing systems in accordance with current legislation and best practice using a wide range of materials.

Their products have provided the perfect solution for several huge and complex waterproofing projects, as well as hundreds of commercial and residential properties throughout the years.

These have included structural waterproofing at Lillie Square in Earls Court, a prestigious London development featuring over 800 multi-million-pound luxury residences stretching from Chelsea FC’s Stamford Bridge to Kensington Olympia, and a basement with more than 2,250m² floor space at the world-renowned London School of Economics.

Warren comments: “With our new Specification Partnership, we can continue to offer the quality service our clients expect, and they can rest assured that they’ll be in good hands from the very start of a project to the very end.”
