WYKAMOL PRODUCTS PROTECT HYDE PARK ’ S QUEEN ’ S GATE LODGE
Queen ’ s Gate Lodge , near London ’ s Serpentine Lake , recently underwent essential damp-proofing using Wykamol-Triton products . Lewes-based Archer Specialist Treatments carried out the work for the Government-appointed refurbishment contractor . Project surveyors specified Wykamol Technoseal damp proof membrane , an injected DPC system , and waterproofing admixture to combat severe rising and penetrating damp .
Paul Halliwell , Director at Archer , explained that high ground levels and water proximity had left the single-storey stone structure in poor condition . Over two weeks , his team applied Technoseal after rendering the stone walls and floors with Wykamol RenderProof . Additional treatments included vapour barriers , finishing plaster , and injected chemical damp proofing . Archer also restored original sand-and-cement skirting details using traditional methods .
Though small , this historic property near the Royal Opera House is worth preserving . Halliwell praised Wykamol ’ s ongoing technical support . Wykamol Technoseal provides a seamless waterproof barrier and is ideal for wet rooms and kitchens .
