When the grade two listed Brockwell Lido in South East London had a requirement for damp proofing works as part of a refurbishment project the damp experts at Timberwise London were called upon to put a stop to their damp woes.
Damp proofing was carried out to the pool and changing room areas and in particular the Hydrosuite area. The team at Timberwise London were delighted to have the opportunity to work on this Art Deco styed local London landmark that has been at the heart of the local Herne Hill community since 1937.

Timberwise Whitewall provides the perfect damp proofing solution
Timberwise were recently called to look at a bin store at a block of flats in Windermere. The bin store area is housed at the bottom of the flats and is partially underground. There was evidence of dampness and water ingress on appearing on one of the walls as a result of an inadequate damp proofing course. The brief to Timberwise was simple – provide an effective damp proofing solution for the walls and prevent dampness coming through again.
Timberwise have a wealth of experience in damp proofing, and as such, were able to specify the correct damp proofing specification for the job from the many damp proofing solutions we have available.
Timberwise specified the Whitewall system combined with a perimeter drainage channel. The drainage channel was used to take away any moisture to a convenient drain off point whilst the Whitewall acts in the same way as a cavity drainage membrane, controlling the the flow of any moisture that may be present. Whitewall, which is a heavy duty waterproof hygienic cladding, was fitted using special adhesive and brackets to all the walls of the room. The Whitewall provided a perfect damp proofing solution as it provided the store area with an impact resistant, dry finish that could not be achieved using other damp proofing methods.

When The Royal Ballet School needed advice on a damp proofing problem at the historic White Lodge in London damp experts Timberwise were called upon to put their damp proofing expertise into action.
White Lodge is the home of the Royal Ballet School. Housed within a spectacular Georgian property in Richmond Park. Formerly White Lodge was formerly a royal residence and was built as a hunting lodge for George II in 1727. Famously Lord Nelson stayed at the Lodge prior to the Battle of Trafalgar. It is said that Nelson plotted the campaigns for Cadiz and Trafalgar on the dining room table using the fruit and silver for ships and writing on the table cloth with a finger dipped in port! More information on the Royal Ballet and White Lodge can be found in the video below:
It was apparent that dampness was present in a section of the accommodation part of the Lodge. The dampness was causing potential health risks with salts coming through the plasterwork . A sympathetic repair was needed to the damp problem. By using a cavity drain membrane fixed to the damp wall we were able to dry line and plaster the wall to ensure that the dampness would not reoccur.
