Visit the Newton Waterproofing website

Sustainability is becoming an increasingly pressing matter within the construction industry. With rising concerns over carbon emissions, energy consumption and the depletion of natural resources, construction companies must implement sustainable practices in order to reduce our environmental impact.

Through pioneering recycling initiatives, eco-friendly product developments, and a commitment to environmental protection, we are proud to be setting new standards for sustainability in structural waterproofing.

The Newton Recycling Service: A Game Changer for the Industry

In 2017, we pioneered the first closed-loop waste management and recycling service in the UK waterproofing industry. Now having recycled over 26 tonnes of material, the initiative addresses the problem of the waste that is generated from waterproofing membranes and product packaging, providing a practical, eco-friendly solution for contractors and construction companies.

How Does Newton’s Recycling Service Work?

The process of installing waterproofing products inevitably generates off-cuts, unusable packaging and waste materials. However, rather than allowing these to contribute to landfill waste, our recycling service ensures that they are collected, reprocessed and recycled. The service operates by:

Collection of Waste Materials

Thanks to our own fleet of delivery vehicles, Newton’s specialist drivers collect membrane off-cuts and empty packaging from our nationwide network of Newton Specialist Basement Contractors (NSBCs). These collections coincide with deliveries of new product, thereby reducing the need for separate journeys and minimising carbon emissions.

Sorting and Recycling

The collected materials are returned to our headquarters, where they are processed and prepared for recycling.

Reintegration into the Industry

The prepared materials are sent to a third-party plastics reprocessor, where they are manufactured into new construction products and reintroduced into the supply chain. In doing so, we are contributing to the use of recycled and renewable materials in future building projects.

The Environmental and Commercial Benefits for Contractors

Participating in Newton’s sustainable construction initiative offers numerous benefits to contractors and construction companies:

  • Reduction of waste disposal costs – Contractors can lower expenses related to waste disposal, improving their bottom line.
  • Minimised carbon footprint – By recycling waterproofing membranes, contractors help lower the gross annual carbon emissions associated with their construction projects.
  • Enhanced corporate social responsibility – Demonstrating a commitment to sustainability in construction aligns contractors with global and UK environmental regulations, which is increasingly important to stakeholders.
  • Compliance with Green Building Standards – The initiative contributes to green certifications such as BREEAM, helping to create sustainable buildings that meet the Future Homes Standard.

Newton’s Commitment to Sustainable Product Development

Beyond recycling, we are dedicated to producing sustainable building materials that reduce energy consumption and promote resource efficiency. This is evident in our latest Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for the HydroBond 402 and HydroBond 403 external waterproofing membranes.

What Makes These Products More Sustainable?

Newton’s EPD-certified products further contribute to the reduction of the environmental impact of waterproofing systems by:

  • Minimising fossil fuel usage during production
  • Extending material lifespans
  • Reducing amount of waste, and
  • Promoting energy efficiency

Overall, these EPD certified products ensure less energy consumption while supporting sustainable building materials and responsible use of resources.

The Impact of Newton’s Recycling Service on the Built Environment

Since its launch, our waste management programme has made a positive impact on green construction. Some of the key outcomes include:

  • Reduction in landfill waste, ensuring less energy is used in waste disposal.
  • Significant carbon footprint reductions, as the recycling initiative limits unnecessary material production.
  • Greater use of sustainable materials, incorporating renewable materials into new building projects.
  • Improved quality, as more environmentally responsible materials contribute to healthier and more sustainable buildings.

The Essential Role of Sustainability in Construction

As the UK government continues to push for sustainable development, construction companies play an essential role in fostering sustainable construction methods. By integrating sustainable practices such as recycling and EPD-certified construction materials, we are helping to shape a construction sector that is willing to change its approach to environmental sustainability and long-term performance.

Visit the Newton Waterproofing website

In the world of construction, effective collaboration is key to achieving outstanding results. Introducing the Waterproofing Design Partnership – a groundbreaking initiative that redefines how waterproofing projects are approached.

This innovative partnership brings together specifiers, suppliers, and contractors into a cohesive team, ensuring seamless integration throughout the design process, and delivers superior outcomes that minimise the risks  to the client.

By leveraging the collective expertise of all stakeholders, the Waterproofing Design Partnership sets a new standard for excellence in the industry, offering architects and specifiers a reliable solution for their waterproofing needs that is backed by professional indemnity insurance.

Working with the specifier, both Newton and our approved contractors can take full liability for the waterproofing at any design stage, acting as the designated waterproofing designer in partnership with the specifier as the principal designer.

The Structure of the Waterproofing Design Partnership

The Waterproofing Design Partnership brings together the client, the specifier, the supplier, and the contractor into a cohesive, unified team. This integrated approach ensures that every aspect of the waterproofing design is meticulously planned and executed, providing a seamless experience from start to finish.

Key Components of the Partnership

  • Client: The client’s needs are at the forefront of the design process, ensuring that the waterproofing solution is tailored to the intended use of the structure.
  • Specifier: The specifier works closely with both Newton’s in-house waterproofing designers and our specialist contractors to develop a robust and compliant waterproofing solution that is appropriate to the structure and the method of construction.
  • Supplier: Newton supplies an advanced range of waterproofing systems, including Type A, Type B and Type C systems as defined by British Standard 8102:2022, ensuring high-quality materials are used throughout the project.
  • Contractor: Newton’s nationwide network of approved contractors can also act as the waterproofing designer, taking liability under their own PI insurance, and are also responsible for the installation. They also provide insurance-backed guarantees for their work, ensuring peace of mind for the client.

Benefits of a Unified Approach

The Waterproofing Design Partnership offers numerous benefits, making it an essential consideration for architects and specifiers.

Compliance with British Standards

Newton’s Waterproofing Design Partnership ensures that your waterproofing design will meet with the stringent recommendations of British Standard 8102:2022, which is the Code of Practice for the Protection of Below Ground Structures Against Water Ingress.

One of the Standard’s primary recommendations is that a waterproofing design specialist should be consulted at the earliest stage of a project, as well as being consulted on and approving of any design amendments which may impact the waterproofing.

By employing the services of the Waterproofing Design Partnership, you are ensuring that the waterproofing design meets the British Standard’s safety and performance requirements.

Meeting Building Safety Act Requirements

The partnership also meets the stringent requirements of the Building Safety Act, which demands that, if your level of cover doesn’t extend to specialisms like waterproofing, or if you lack the requisite competence or experience, then you must appoint another suitably qualified organisation to take responsibility for this aspect of the design.

By working with Newton and our approved contractors, specifiers can ensure that their projects meet all necessary regulations, providing a secure and compliant waterproofing solution.

Professional Indemnity Insurance Coverage

One of the standout features of the Waterproofing Design Partnership is the inclusion of a waterproofing specialist as part of the design team. Both Newton and our approved contractors meet this standard and can take full liability at any design stage, acting as the designated waterproofing designer as per BS 8102:2022 and the Building Safety Act. This coverage secures the quality of the design and provides the client with a guaranteed installation, offering unparalleled peace of mind.

Ensuring Quality Design and Guaranteed Installation

Specialist Expertise

Our specialist contractors work in partnership with Newton to provide the highest quality products, design, and installation in all aspects of domestic and commercial basement waterproofing. All contractor members adhere to strict criteria and are required to demonstrate quality workmanship, resulting in a meaningful scheme that provides unsurpassed technical excellence. We always recommend that an NSBC is involved in a project where a new-build or existing structure requires waterproofing.

Newton’s team of certified waterproofing specialists also bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to every project. Their expertise in all aspects of structural waterproofing, in terms of both the design and installation, ensures that the waterproofing solution is effective and reliable.

Comprehensive Solutions

The partnership utilises Newton’s comprehensive range of waterproofing systems to deliver an integrated waterproofing solution that accounts for any project constraints, client requirements, structural considerations and regulatory compliance.

By selecting and combining appropriate systems, such as external and internal barrier systems, structurally integral waterproofing, and drained cavity systems, we ensure a comprehensive and effective waterproofing solution.

Guaranteed Installation

On design completion, Newton’s approved contractor takes the liability for the waterproofing under their own PI insurance. This ensures the quality of the installation and provides the client with a secure and reliable waterproofing solution, that will also be secured by the contractors’ own installation guarantee.

A Partnership Built on Trust

Trust is a fundamental component of the Waterproofing Design Partnership. By bringing together the client, specifier, supplier, and contractor, we are able to create and maintain a ‘golden thread’ of consistent waterproofing expertise throughout the design and installation process, as required by the Building Safety Act and ensuring the overall success of the project.

Listed and Historic Building Waterproofing Project Video

Written by Warren Muschialli

When it comes to high-profile waterproofing projects, Newton Waterproofing is the name that stands out. With our extensive range of products as well as our history and expertise, we have become the go-to company for waterproofing solutions in both commercial and domestic properties across the UK.

Whether it’s a new-build project or an existing structure, we have the perfect solution to tackle any size of project, with the ability and know-how to meet the complexity of listed building requirements making us the ideal choice for preserving historical structures while providing effective waterproofing solutions.

We can provide waterproofing systems and solutions that are ideally suited for meeting listed building requirements and have been used to treat properties such as the British Museum, the Royal Courts of Justice, and the Houses of Parliament.

Fire Resistant Tunnel Waterproofing at the British Museum

Earlier this year we worked on a project to address water ingress in the tunnels beneath the Grade 1 listed King Edward VII Galleries, part of the British Museum complex in London.

The water ingress was causing concern about the quality of air supplied to the gallery, so Newton collaborated with Arti Structural Waterproofing and Oldroyd to develop a unique membrane system that would protect against both water ingress and fire. This allowed the tunnels to be reinstated as the primary air supply to the galleries, with the team proposing a system that met all requirements for waterproofing and fireproofing a Grade 1 listed building.

The solution involved cleaning and repairing the tunnel walls and floors before installing the flexible, cement-based HydroCoat 107 Elastic 2K as a primary Type A barrier, sealing any existing leaks where a Type C system was not feasible. Following this, the unique Oldroyd Xtf membrane provided a full Type C cavity drain membrane system to the walls and floors – cavity drain membrane systems are widely accepted in listed structures due to their maintainability and reversibility.

The Oldroyd Xtf membrane used in this project is exclusive to Newton and produced by specialist manufacturer Oldroyd in Norway using environmentally friendly raw materials. It is also tested according to the EN 13501-1:2007+A1:2009 standard for fire classification of construction products and building elements, achieving a B-s2.d0 fire rating.

Additionally, CDM 520 eco Floor was used beneath the floor build-up, providing maximum drainage capacity to the pumping system for any ingressing water.

The project faced challenges such as high humidity levels and the prospect of fitting fire-rated membranes in extremely constrained spaces, all while ensuring effective installation around existing services which could not be removed.

Despite these challenges, Newton and Arti completed the project successfully over ten weeks, delivering a waterproof, fireproof, and maintainable solution. The client now has a system that meets their requirements and will be regularly serviced by Arti Structural Waterproofing.

Waterproofing the Royal Courts of Justice

Newton Specialist Basement Contractor Stonehouse were tasked with waterproofing the Judges’ Robe Rooms in the below-ground vaults at the Grade 1 listed Royal Courts of Justice to create a Grade 3 habitable space. This project followed their successful waterproofing of the vaulted bird beak Victorian arches in the same building.

To waterproof the intricate vaulted areas, Stonehouse installed a full Type C waterproofing system utilising Newton CDM 508 Mesh membrane, which required careful detailing and expertise to ensure proper installation. The membrane was carefully lapped, sealed and fixed using different specialist plugs depending on whether the membrane was applied to the vault spring and above, or on the vertical plane.

The Newton CDM System is our Type C water management system that captures and diverts any water ingress down to the BaseDrain drainage channels for safe removal away from the property. For this project, a direct plaster finish was applied onto the meshed membrane for a high-quality finish in keeping with the structure’s listed status.

The result of Stonehouse’s installation was the creation of a Grade 3, completely dry and habitable internal environment, ensuring that it would be suitable for its intended purpose.

The installation also conformed to Listed Building requirements by designing a maintainable and reversible system that also retained the building’s unique design characteristics.

Waterproofing the Houses of Parliament

Newton Waterproofing was chosen to provide a waterproofing solution for the Houses of Parliament in London. The project required both external and internal waterproofing systems, as well as a polyurea roofing system.

Our self-healing HydroBond 403 Plus membrane was used externally to provide a waterproof barrier around the new-build basement extension to the iconic Grade 1 listed London landmark. Internally, our CDM 508 and CDM 520 membranes were applied from floor to ceiling as part of the Newton CDM System for providing a full cavity drainage solution.

The finished structure also received a polyurea coating and additional drainage membrane on the roof deck of the basement.

The result is a fully compliant and guaranteed waterproof basement that provides durable protection against water ingress through the combination of multiple types of waterproofing.

When carrying out waterproofing installations, it’s essential that they are installed and guaranteed by trained and approved waterproofing contractors, ensuring ultimate peace of mind for the end user.

It’s why Newton Waterproofing’s Specialist Contractors (NSBCs) are equipped to provide meaningful insurance-backed guarantees for their waterproofing installations.

 

Newton Waterproofing Managing Director Warren Muschialli comments: “All NSBCs adhere to strict criteria and are required to demonstrate quality workmanship and provide assurances for their work, resulting in a scheme that provides unsurpassed technical excellence. As such, our NSBCs can take responsibility for both the design and the installation of a waterproofing system, meaning that they will give meaningful, insured installation guarantees for their work.”

When delivering a waterproofing project, Newton’s NSBCs hold their own Professional Indemnity Insurance and CSSW (Certificated Surveyor in Structural Waterproofing) accreditation, meaning that they can act as the waterproofing designer and take design liability for the waterproofing element of the project.

In addition, all Newton Specialist Contractors can provide separate, high-quality installation guarantees, supported by their insurer and which protect clients from the risk of potential defects in the installation of the waterproofing.

That these guarantees are supported by insurance is key, as the client is protected even if the cost of a repair is beyond the financial means of the contractor.

Thanks to their dedicated teams and insurance offerings, NSBCs are therefore able to offer support for every waterproofing project, from design to installation, and even through to post-installation servicing and maintenance.

Warren continues: “Newton is dedicated to providing our customers with the information required to make informed decisions about the types of guarantees available for their waterproofing project. Because NSBCs are part of the Newton approved network, they can offer a certain level of service – their design will be protected thanks to Professional Indemnity Insurance, and their installation will be protected thanks to installation insurance. Customers can therefore benefit from a full service and from the peace of mind that comes from knowing that our NSBCs are fully trained and protected.”

View the history of Newton Waterproofing video

Newton Waterproofing, one of the country’s leading suppliers of waterproofing products, is this year celebrating its 175th anniversary, marking an impressive milestone for the company.

With branches in Tonbridge, Kent, and Hunslet, Leeds, Newton Waterproofing boasts an extensive range of high-quality products for architects, contractors, developers, groundworkers and builders across the country. Over the years they have also been involved in numerous high profile waterproofing projects, from the London School of Economics, the Houses of Parliament and the Royal College of Music in London, to the Hotel Football and the Arndale Centre in Manchester.

Now with a nationwide, next-day delivery service on their own fleet of vehicles, Newton Waterproofing came from humble beginnings.

Established by John Newton in South London in 1848, the company started out as a specialist supplier of plasterers’ hair, and in 1931, expanded by pioneering the air gap method of damp proofing with the design and production of the first physical damp proof membrane, ‘Newtonite’.

Over five million square metres of the original Newtonite membrane were installed in the UK, including helping to create dry, hospitable housing across post-war London.

By the 1980s, Newton had launched another first, a HDPE membrane with a mesh surface that could be plastered directly onto – since then, Newlath has continued to be the industry-leading damp proof membrane, with over two million square metres installed across the country.

This was followed, in 1986, by the development of Newton System 500, the flagship basement waterproofing solution and the first cavity drain waterproofing system of its kind, designed to be installed internally in any below-ground structure.

By 2003, the company had implemented the first approved contractor network for structural waterproofing, meaning that Newton Specialist Basement Contractors (NSBCs) could take design liability on waterproofing projects and provide peace of mind to designers and clients.

Due to an expanding product range and growing staff, in 2012 Newton Waterproofing opened its head office in Tonbridge, Kent, and in 2020 formed the Newton Specification Partnership. This nationwide network of approved architects and specifiers works directly with Newton to provide high quality, technically sound waterproofing solutions for any basement or below-ground structure.

Another big milestone for the company came last year, with the opening of Newton’s northern branch and distribution centre in Leeds, giving customers across the North and Midlands quicker and easier access to its range of products and technical services.

The company is also committed to professional development, providing extensive training on waterproofing best practice through its dedicated School of Waterproofing, and has been running its award-winning Recycling Service, the first closed-loop recycling scheme in the UK waterproofing industry, since 2017.

Newton Waterproofing Managing Director Warren Muschialli comments: “Newton Waterproofing has a very long and rich history, and to reach 175 years is an incredible milestone for the company. From a small start-up business back in the 1840s, Newton has evolved and grown into the UK’s leading independent waterproofing suppliers, and we’re incredibly proud of how far we’ve come.

“We’re particularly proud of the recent opening of our Leeds distribution centre, which has significantly expanded our reach and allowed us to better serve customers across the whole of the country, while also contributing to the city’s local economy.

“We owe a huge thanks to all our partners and valued customers who have joined us over the years for their continued support, and we very much look forward to many more successful decades ahead.”

Newton Wins Again at the National Building & Construction Awards

Newton Waterproofing is proud to have been named a winner in this year’s celebrated National Building and Construction Awards, in recognition of our commitment to sustainability.

Launched in 2019, the awards aim to raise the profile of industrious and enterprising building and construction businesses across the country, recognising excellence in the field.

Taking gold in the ‘Green/Sustainability’ category, which focuses on sustainable projects and their impact on the environment, Newton has been recognised for our extremely successful Recycling Service.

Winning gold in the Green/Sustainability category in 2022 marks the second National Building and Construction Award that Newton has received, and is the 6th construction industry accolade that the multi-award winning Recycling Service has received.

What Is The Newton Recycling Service? 

The Newton Recycling Service is the first closed-loop recycling scheme in the UK waterproofing industry. Run in collaboration between Newton and our Specialist Basement Contractors, the scheme actively collects and recycles off-cuts of HDPE waterproofing membrane and the plastic tubs and metal containers that hold our liquid waterproofing products from across the UK, for re-use in the construction industry.

How does the Recycling Service work?

Since 2017, the Recycling Service has evolved into a streamlined and efficient process – from Newton’s warehouse, waterproofing products such as HDPE cavity drain membranes are delivered to our specialist contractors across the UK, who then install them and collect all of the off-cuts and waste in dedicated Newton bags.

Whilst making deliveries of new products to its specialist contractors, Newton collects the full bags of recycling and returns them to the Newton head office on the backload, thereby avoiding creating additional emissions.

Thanks to an investment in an industrial granulator, plastics are then processed in-house according to the type of material, and stored in our warehouse in bulk bags.

Once a large quantity of processed material has been accumulated, the bulk bags are collected by one of the UK’s largest plastic recyclers, who transform all of it into new raw materials, ready for the next stage in its lifecycle.

What Has The Newton Recycling Service Achieved?

According to our fifth annual Sustainability Report, Newton recycled 2.608 tonnes of membrane in 2021 by collecting 126 bags of waste membrane offcuts and used containers. This avoided the production of 2.99 tonnes of carbon dioxide – the equivalent to over 11,712 kilowatt hours of energy.

Overall, since 2017, Newton has prevented 22.67 tonnes of HDPE membrane from going to landfill.

To translate this into more quantifiable figures, 22.67 tonnes of recycled HDPE equates to:

  • Preventing 26.05 tonnes of CO2 emissions from entering the atmosphere
  • Saving 101,833 Kilowatt Hours of energy
  • Energy which is worth a total of £14,633
  • Which is enough energy to make over 3.62 million mugs of tea

Newton Waterproofing’s Managing Director Warren Muschialli comments: “It’s an honour to have been named a winner in the National Building and Construction Awards. We’re incredibly proud of our Recycling Service, and for it to be recognised by the judges must mean we’re doing something right.

“We look forward to developing our sustainability targets further in 2023, and are committed to helping shape the UK’s green agenda and providing sustainable construction by helping combat the industry’s waste problems.”

Recycled Product Range 

Newton Waterproofing is completely committed to continually finding ways to reduce our impact on the environment. Whilst the Recycling Service is the hero of our efforts, we also look to improve in every aspect of the company, including our recycled product range.

Working closely with our suppliers, we have added three waterproofing products to our range that are manufactured using recycled plastic, without any negative effect on their durability, longevity or performance.

Newton Latent Defects Guarantee is the Ultimate in Waterproofing Insurance

Building Products Index Ltd Waterproof Membranes, waterproofing Leave a Comment

View the Newton Waterproofing entry on BPindex

Visit the Newton Waterproofing website

Latent defectsNewton Waterproofing, the UK’s leading independent designer and supplier of guaranteed structural waterproofing systems, now offers Latent Defects Insurance – and it is the only such policy available through a UK waterproofing supplier.

With experience of more than 170 years, the family-run business based in Tonbridge has been providing clients with an unrivalled service for decades. Now, the Newton Latent Defects Insurance will provide customers with the ultimate protection.

Newton Waterproofing’s MD Warren Muschialli said: “In 2019, the construction insurance guarantees market underwent significant change, with a number of insurers withdrawing from the sector. Early in 2020, there was a further reduction in the number of rated insurers able to provide insurance for waterproofing.

“By its very nature, waterproofing is a risky business and it’s very tough to find good guarantees in the waterproofing sector.

“A lot of companies will provide self-guarantees but there is no insurance provided, while others will provide warranties that are not insurance-backed.

“But with our Newton Latent Defects Insurance we have managed to provide a unique policy which is backed by an A-rated, UK-based insurer.”

Peace of Mind Guaranteed

135 Golders Green Road NW11 8HG 18 June-3With a policy term of up to 12 years, the Latent Defects Insurance is available on qualifying projects which use multiple Newton waterproofing products to achieve a minimum score of 3.0 on the Newton Waterproofing Index (NWI). The NWI is a unique specification tool that provides specifiers and designers with a scoring system to accurately assess the level of risk and potential success involved in any waterproofing design.

The application for the guarantee is made via the installer directly to Newton’s A-rated insurer, and for the first two years of the policy the responsibility for repairing any leaks and defects lies with the installing contractor. Once this period has expired, all repairs are the responsibility of the insurer.

Newton’s Specialist Contractors have been specifically audited to ensure that they meet the necessary requirements to be able to provide the guarantee, while Newton’s waterproofing solutions and products have also successfully passed a rigorous auditing process to ensure that they are of sufficient quality to support the guarantee.

“Instead of a 10-year policy term we are offering a 12-year option which gives us a competitive edge,” said Warren. “No other waterproofing supplier in the UK can provide this level of protection and this is the best waterproofing guarantee on the market from a UK insurer that you can get.

“It comes through us and is backed by us – we are the broker’s client so the specifier knows that we will take responsibility for the waterproofing.”

Newton provide the best waterproofing systems for all structures, from new and existing domestic properties to large-scale commercial developments.
