Damp problems such as rising damp and penetrating damp lead to damp walls, and can seriously damage your property. Even minimal damp penetration or rising damp will cause discolouration to surface plaster on walls, decorations and can even affect a building’s structural integrity.
- John Newton & Company will provide you with the best damp proofing solutions for your needs. Drawing on over 160 years of innovation, technical expertise and proven reliability in the damp proofing and basement waterproofing industries, our outstanding damp proof products have been specially developed for the widest applications
- Newtons were the first company to introduce a ventilated damp proofing membrane in 1937 with their unique product Newtonite, used to treat damp walls in thousands of buildings in the United Kingdom
- John Newton & Company were also the first to develop and introduce a meshed damp proofing membrane to accept renders or plasters, and Newlath 2000 remains the original and most effective meshed damp proofing membrane. Its success is measured by the fact that over 2 million metres have been used nationally since its introduction.
Complete Range of High Quality Damp Proofing Membranes
Newton Damp Proofing Systems are a range of High Density Polyethylene and Polypropylene damp proofing membranes which are moulded into a stud formation. The damp proofing membranes prevent any moisture and moisture vapour and associated salts and contaminants within the structure affecting the internal finishes by providing a physical barrier between the old damp wall and the new finish. This significantly prolongs the life of the internal finish whilst still allowing for natural evaporation of damp from the structure, and unhindered movement of air to take place in the gap provided by the studs of the damp proof membrane.
Newlath 2000 and Newtonite damp proofing membranes provide a firm key and impermeable barrier on any damp or deteriorating surface. Newton’s damp proofing membrane range is highly sympathetic to buildings as it allows damp walls to ’breathe’. Minimal surface preparation is required for the Newton damp proofing membranes to be installed. In addition, the damp proofing system is fully reversible; a requirement when treating listed buildings throughout the United Kingdom.
Newton damp proofing membranes are the damp proofing technique of choice for all Listed and Historical Structures, and have been used in buildings including the Royal Courts of Justice, Houses of Parliament, Windsor Castle and the London Underground System.
Our high grade specialist damp proofing membranes for use on damp walls and damp floors are designed to accommodate a comprehensive range of finishes.
Newton damp proofing and basement waterproofing membranes are the highest quality available in the UK
Unlike our competitors, John Newton & Company are independent, so not dictated to by one manufacturer. Our independence allows us to demand the specification and quality of the damp proofing and basement waterproofing products from a range of specialist suppliers around Europe.
Quick, Clean and Proven Damp Proofing Solutions
Newlath 2000 and Newtonite damp proofing membranes are quick and clean to install, cost effective and offer proven solutions to treating damp walls and providing effective treatment for all damp problems.
Newton damp proofing membranes can be applied over most existing damp wall finishes without the need to remove them. No guess work is required and the membranes are offered up to the damp walls, drilled and fixed quickly and cleanly the same way to almost any substrate. The damp proofing membranes provide an impervious barrier to protect the internal finishes without changing the status quo of the wall.

John Newton & Company are holders of BBA Certificate 00/3716 for the Newton Newlath damp proofing membrane, and all Newton membranes are guaranteed against deterioration for 30 years and have a life expectancy of at least 50 years.
Below Ground Solutions
Our damp proofing membrane systems are designed to deal with capillary held moisture only and as such are only suitable for above ground appliction. Where external ground levels are higher than the internal floor levels then there is a risk of hydrostatic water pressure and a full waterproofing system and application should be adopted.
For basement waterproofing, our market leading Newton System 500 waterproofing solution is ideal. Follow the basement waterproofing link on the left for further information, or contact us to speak to a member of our technical team
