82 STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS Crystal keeps faith with Wykamol-Triton range inside & out
Crystal Damp Proofing & Basements is working close to its base in Croydon, Surrey while also employing a selection of products from the Wykamol-Triton range with which it is fully familiar. And while the company has undertaken many larger scale projects across the South-East since it was set up three years ago, the 40-year-old residential property its team is currently making progress on, is unusual in featuring existing basement areas both beneath the house and to the rear. The curved outside lightwell and the main sub-structure had both suffered long-term problems with damp and are receiving similar treatments in the form of the C20 and CM8 studded drainage membranes, installed across the concrete floor slabs and blockwork walls respectively: offering a permanent remedy to penetrating damp. Any water which does seep through the masonry is directed into perimeter drains formed using lengths of Aquachannel, which connect to a sump and one of the manufacturer’s Aqua Pump kits with battery back-up. The BBA approved Wykamol-Triton CM8 and CM20 Waterproofing Membranes – manufactured from high density polyethylene – are routinely specified as an extra layer of protection for the walls and floors of cellars and basements, with their studded form allowing any water to be directed into perimeter channels and then a sump, which is automatically emptied by an electric pump.

Civils & Lintels has further strengthened its portfolio of housebuilding clients, having been named a ‘supplier of choice’ with Dandara to supply IG lintels to all its new home developments across the UK. With a focus on engaging with supply chain partners that can support its nationwide footprint of developments, Dandara conducted a procurement review into its lintels provision which resulted in Civils & Lintels’ appointment. Daniel Knight, group procurement manager at Dandara, commented: “With a vision to deliver 1,400 new homes in the next year, it is vital that our supply chain partners share our commitment to the highest standards of quality and exceptional service. “The team at Civils & Lintels certainly met that brief and when coupled with their impressive product knowledge, I am excited to start working with them as we continue our journey as one of the country’s most respected private housebuilders.” Commenting on behalf of Civils & Lintels, Tim Slesser, added: “Having the opportunity to work with Dandara is a true honour and further strengthens our reach across the UK’s best known and respected housebuilders.” Already this summer, Civils & Lintels has announced significant contracts with both Vistry Group and Gleeson Homes and anticipates securing further contracts in the housebuilding sector this year.
