NHBC are finding out the costs of basement defects and that this is a growing problem.
NHBC are one of the best known building defects insurance providers in the UK, and when it comes to building defects they really know their stuff.
But basements have really stumped them and they are now suffering the consequences.
The way forward is for NHBC to insist that house basements are designed and installed following the principles of BS8102: 2009 – the code of practise for the water proofing of structures below ground.
The best people doing this are members of the Property Care Association structural water proofing group.
Anyone talking about basements and their design should have mentioned BS8102: 2009 in the first few moments of the discussion – if they do not avoid them.
You will also want any work to be insurance backed guaranteed (usually for 10 years) to give you peace of mind that should things go wrong there is someone there to help put it right. Guarantee Protection Insurance is uniquely placed to do that.
Yorkshire Dampcourse can offer all of these things to you to make your basement work run smoothly and successfully.
