What could your basement space be used for?
Does your building have the potential for a great basement conversion?
Basement conversions add value to properties and offer a great solution where more space is needed.
With modern technology and products the days of poor quality cellar conversions are over. We're so confident in our conversions that we offer a 10 year guarantee on every project.
Conversion costs vary by project but cellar conversions are often cheaper per m2 than loft conversions or extensions. They also maintain the original appearance of your house, have less planning permission implications and don't impinge on outside space.
We offer a free no obligation consultation to advise you on what is possible on your project. However here's some important considerations:
- Access: Existing stairs are great start. They may need upgrading depending on the final use of the cellar.
- Headroom: Ideally you'll need over two metres of headroom so careful consideration needs to be given to digging the cellar lower if needed.
- Natural light: Cellars are better with some natural light. We offer standard windows, lightwells and sun tunnels to make your conversion look wonderful.
- Electrics and plumbing: The construction stage is the perfect time to get these elements right. We offer fully guaranteed plumbing and electric services as needed.
- Walls: Your cellar may be a series of tiny rooms but often it's possible to make one larger space by removing these walls and supporting the floors above.
