Damp Proofing, Gibraltar
“It is not often that one deals with a company who moves as fast and efficiently as we would like everyone in the industry to be….from enquiry to order in a matter of hours was not down to price, but the result of the professional and superb service received from Toby Champion and his technical team at Newton Membranes.
The simple yet highly effective membrane solution to the common problems found in 17th and 18th century bastions, tunnels and buildings in Gibraltar has proved to be the easiest and most cost effective permanent solution to the endemic problems of damp and water penetration. I would not hesitate in recommending Newton Membrane solutions to heritage councils and anyone interested in resolving for good, damp related problems whether it’s a basement, a vault or tunnel. Local architects have also shown considerable interests in Newton membranes which looks set to see a promising future looking after Gibraltar’s numerous historic buildings”

Basement Waterproofing, London
“I have had Newton System 500 installed in the cellar of my London Victorian property following failure of the previous tanking system as a result of a burst water main in 2009. To say that I am very satisfied with the customer experience with John Newton to date and Newton System 500 is an understatement! The technical team at John Newton are “par excellence”. The company as a whole is exemplary and commendable putting the customer always first and tailoring solutions to meet customer needs!
I had a particularly problematic project and greatly benefitted from the level of support provided by David Bucknell (and Stuart Tansey) of the technical team – David’s knowledge and guidance for me was outstanding. I cannot commend and thank David enough for his assistance! Also, being very “hands on” with this project, I was most impressed with the technical resources available to me on the Newton Membranes website which are both clear and concise.
Finally, as a homeowner I would strongly recommend that anyone thinking of waterproofing their home look no further than John Newton – their products are excellent and this is coupled with the first class service they offer both pre and post installation is unrivalled.”

“My Building regulations adviser suggested I consider “egg box” type insulation rather than traditional tanking and my builder recommended the Newton system from reputation. The team at Newton were very responsive in discussion my requirements in design and ordering and for quick questions whilst we were on site. The installation of the wall and floor membrane in our 50 sqm basement was very simple and took two of us no more than 8 hours including the floor insulation. We then fitted a free standing wooden stud wall to support the insulation, plaster board and services. All-in-all a simple and well developed solution.” Alisdair Luxmoore www.fleewinter.com
