Many of their current team are former Directors of Holloway White Allom with whom Cemplas had a long standing successful trading history undertaking specialist waterproofing works on many of the properties they refurbished.

As this particular project included a new below ground extension requiring specialist waterproofing, SizeBreed Construction called in specialist contractor Cemplas Waterproofing and Concrete Repairs Ltd who were awarded the £145,000 contract.
