Yes, there are epoxy resins produced for this specific purpose. Not
expensive, I have waterproofed the whole ground floor area of a sixteenth
century house, where it was not practicable to damproof any other way.
Speak to somebody like Rotafix Resins of Swansea, they are happy to
sell direct to public in small quantities. I used to deal with a guy
called Dave Smedley, on 01639 730481, although he may have moved on.
Ask if you need to know more.
