Newton Waterproofing – Leading the Way


W


hen a company has been leading the way for more than 170 years, you know it’s got pedigree.


And that’s just what Newton


Waterproofing have done. The family run business, based in


Tonbridge, is the UK’s leading independent designers and suppliers of guaranteed waterproofing and damp proofing systems for all structures, from large-scale commercial developments to new-build and existing domestic properties. Newton supply an advanced range of waterproofing materials which allow them to design and guarantee effective, robust and third-party accredited waterproofing systems in accordance with current legislation and best practice.


A Rich History Established in South London in 1848 by John Newton as a specialist supplier of products for the construction industry, John Newton and Company soon became the largest supplier of plasterers’ hair in England. In 1937, John Newton also pioneered the first unique ventilated waterproofing membrane, Newtonite. After the business was put on hold during


World War II, between 1945 and 1983 more than five million metres of Newtonite was sold before its modernisation into a polyethylene product in 1984. In 1986, Newton developed their flagship


System 500 internal cavity drain membrane system for all below ground structures


requiring waterproofing, which has since been installed in thousands of UK properties. Today, Newton continues to expand its


product range for complete structural waterproofing and damp-proof solutions.


The Bigger the Project, the Better Newton Waterproofing products have provided the perfect solution for several huge and complex waterproofing projects for commercial and residential properties. Most recently they provided structural waterproofing on Lillie Square in Earls Court, one of the most prestigious developments in London featuring over 800 multi-million- pound luxury residences stretching from Chelsea FC’s Stamford Bridge to Kensington Olympia. Newton were required to provide a watertight basement to house the luxury private residents club which boasts a lounge, library, private dining room, cinema, gym, spa facilities and a 20-metre swimming pool with jacuzzi. Newton Waterproofing’s MD Warren Muschialli said: “While we have historically been associated with one-off domestic basement projects, we have also completed many big, complex commercial and civil projects. “Whether you are an architect, specifier, contractor, developer or homeowner, and whatever the size of your project, our fully guaranteed installation and maintenance service will provide the perfect solution.”


Specialist Installation Guaranteed Newton created its unique Newton Specialist Basement Contractors (NSBCs) network at the start of the 21st Century, who work in partnership with Newton to provide the highest quality products, design and installation in all aspects of domestic and commercial basement waterproofing. NSBCs can also provide a substantial


insured guarantee and take full design liability on the project, fulfilling the role of ‘waterproofing specialist’ as recommended by British Standard 8102:2009, the ‘Code of Practice for Protection of Below Ground Structures Against Water from the Ground.’ “As a responsible supplier it’s important to


provide peace of mind to all companies we work with that our waterproofing systems are only installed by knowledgeable and responsible operatives, so they are installed correctly at all times,” explained Warren.


An Eye on the Environment In partnership with its NSBC network, Newton operates the multi-award-winning Newton Membrane Recycling Service. Since the scheme’s launch in 2017, Newton


have successfully prevented 12,675 tonnes of plastic from going to landfill and 14,264 tonnes of CO2 emissions from entering the atmosphere. This also saves enough energy to make over 1.9 million mugs of tea!
