Basement Conversions

DomesticBuilding & Structural · Free survey · Fixed written quotes · Guaranteed work

A basement or cellar conversion creates space without touching your garden or roofline — ideal in areas where extending out or up is restricted. We convert and, where needed, lower and underpin cellars into dry, warm rooms with proper waterproofing.

What's included

  • Structural waterproofing (tanking + cavity membrane)
  • Sump, pump and drainage system
  • Underpinning and lowering where required
  • Insulation, damp control and ventilation
  • Electrics, lighting and heating
  • Full fit-out and building-control sign-off

Correct tanking and drainage is everything below ground, so we specify a full waterproofing system with a pump and membrane, then insulate, service and finish the space. Every job is designed with structural and building-control input.

Basement Conversions — frequently asked questions

Can any cellar be converted?
Most existing cellars can be converted; creating a brand-new basement is a bigger structural job. We assess yours at survey.
How do you stop a basement being damp?
We install a full waterproofing system — tanking or a cavity-drain membrane with a sump and pump — guaranteed to keep the space dry.
Do basement conversions add value?
Done well, yes — usable dry space below ground can add significant value, especially in higher-value areas.
Is planning permission needed?
Converting an existing cellar usually is not, but lowering floors or adding light-wells can be. We check and apply if required.
