Camden Passage threads north from the Angel junction in N1 — antique dealers and independent shops marking the route into one of Islington's oldest residential quarters. The houses on the surrounding streets in Barnsbury and Canonbury are mainly four-storey Regency and early-Victorian terrace, much of the stock carrying a lower-ground or basement flat where waterproofing and drainage come before any fit-out work. Conservation designations cover large swathes of N1, placing controls on external alterations that matter as much to an extension as to a restoration. PrimeCraft Surface Solutions visits your property, assesses every element of the brief, and delivers a fully itemised written quote on the same day.

FAQ
Commonquestions, Angel.
- Waterproofing is always the first phase. Lower-ground flats on Islington terrace streets absorb moisture through the floor slab and retaining masonry, and a decorative fit-out applied over a wet structure fails within a few seasons. The correct sequence is to diagnose the source — whether that calls for a cavity-drain membrane with a sump, cementitious tanking, improved drainage channels, or a combination — stabilise the shell, then build the kitchen, bathroom and finishes over it. Where the flat is leasehold, structural work requires freeholder consent before a programme can start. We price the waterproofing phase as its own line item at the survey so you can see that cost clearly before committing.
