London has been a major settlement for the last two millennia and situated along both banks of the tidal River Thames. Our London Peter Cox branch provides professional property preservation services to homeowners and commercial customers across the capital.

London is where it all began with the business being founded in 1951. Peter Cox were originally specialists in stone cleaning throughout post-war London. Now we’re proud to be market leaders in property preservation with high quality work across the capital in private property, commercial buildings and government and historic buildings.

London has done much to protect itself from the dangers posed by flooding since the Victorian era. Despite this many properties may suffer from water ingress from leaking guttering, defective pointing and porous brickwork. This is common in older buildings, which London is famous for. These issues may lead to dry rot or wet rot and woodworm issues, which in turn may cause structural damage to timber. These issues affect both homeowners and commercial properties, so it's key to be vigilant of the signs of penetrating damp.

Peter Cox are also experts in basement waterproofing solutions, making basements and cellars habitable spaces in the Capital. Walls and floors in rooms below ground level are subject to lateral damp penetration by either hydrostatic pressure or capillary action, meaning it’s essential to hire professionals to make sure the basement is completely water tight and fit for purpose.

Peter Cox are property maintenance experts with years of experience in basement waterproofing. If you would like more information about this please feel free to contact Peter Cox.
