Your dream is of homely, spacious and comfortable extra living space. The reality is a dark, damp and dusty cellar. Most cellars, even those that let water in, can be converted into a useable room, such as a bedroom, study, living room or gym etc.

We offer a free design & quotation service and where applicable can help with obtaining necessary building regulations approval.

Space. Even with a loft conversion many Victorian or Edwardian houses become quickly cramped once you fill them with a few kids and personal possessions.

Many families dream of more living space, for a kitchen/family room, a playroom, or a home cinema, a utility room, a granny flat, a home gym, and even an indoor swimming pool.

The clever bit about converting basements is the damp-roofing.

A gap is left between the original wall and a waterproof membrane. Water can pass between the two into drainage channels and sumps in the floor of the basement from where it's pumped into the waste water system.

Even with a pump good ventilation is still needed, using windows, airbricks, and often a mechanical extractor that kicks in when the humidity reaches a certain level.
