New Build Basements & Basement Conversions
New Build Basements
Building a new basement can be one of the most cost-effective ways to increase your living space without impacting your garden or building’s footprint. Whether you’re looking to add an extra bedroom, a home gym, a cinema room, or even a secluded guest suite, the possibilities are endless.
Constructing a new basement offers several unique benefits:
- Maximise Space: Increase your overall floor area without reducing your garden size or altering your building’s footprint.
- Adapt to Growing Needs: Provide additional living space for a growing family without the need to relocate.
- Utilise Sloping Sites: Make efficient use of sloping land with semi-basements, avoiding extensive site levelling.
- Development in Sensitive Areas: Add construction space in Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, where building restrictions may apply.
- Energy Efficiency: Benefit from enhanced energy efficiency, as basements have fewer exposed external walls.
- Privacy: Enjoy greater privacy for hosting guests in a secluded basement room, ideal for extended stays.
- Strong ROI: Expect a robust return on investment, with the average basement remodel recouping 70 to 75% of your expenditure.
Our team of seasoned professionals will handle every aspect of your new basement project, from initial planning and securing necessary Planning Permissions to the final finishing touches. We ensure your property remains structurally sound while creating your new basement living area, using only the best materials, including John Newton Membranes, widely recognised as industry-leading. All our work and materials come with a 30-year guarantee, giving you complete peace of mind.
Basement Conversions
If your property already has a cellar or basement that’s underutilised or in disrepair, a basement conversion could be the perfect solution. Many homes have poorly designed or damp-prone basement spaces that could be transformed into vibrant, functional living areas. Whether it’s cluttered with cables and pipework or suffers from inadequate drainage and damp proofing, our expert team can revitalise these spaces.
Converting your basement can significantly enhance your home, offering a variety of potential uses:
- Additional Living Space: Create an extra bedroom, gym, home cinema, children’s playroom, music studio, office, rehearsal room, or utility room.
- Add Value: Increase the value of your property, often at a lower cost than traditional extensions.
- Full-Service Conversion: From project management to construction, our team of structural engineers, builders, electricians, and gas engineers handle every detail, ensuring a smooth and efficient conversion process.
- Guaranteed Quality: Like our new build basements, all work and materials used in basement conversions come with a 30-year guarantee, and we use the highest quality John Newton Membranes for long-lasting damp protection.

The Shifta Conveyor
The Shifta is used as a conveyor of rubble, aggregates and soils. It has a tough rubber troughed belt, a three-phase two-speed 110v motor and a portable hopper that is large enough to convey bulky material. When moving material in difficult terrains, this is the ideal machine for the job.
We use the Shifta to empty materials from the basements when digging out.
Our Testimonials
We have used Ian on many occasions now to help us with below ground solutions. From the design stages through to the installation Ian and his team have done a great job. Do not hesitate to contact Ian if you are after a new installation or have an existing issue with damp.
Ian and his team were a hard-working, experienced, friendly bunch. They always turned up on time, worked hard and left the site cleaned up at the end of the day. Ian worked hard to ensure that the build kept within our timescales and amazingly pretty much within budget. Our experience went very smoothly with no major issues, but if we had any issues or questions Ian was always on hand to offer his advice and come up with a solution. Ian even helped us to set up a temporary kitchen for use while the build was taking place (complete with old sink and running water!). We’re really pleased with our finished extension and would definitely recommend Ian as a reliable, competitive builder.
Ian is hard working, efficient, reliable and a tidy worker. He has completed work for us on many occasions and we have never been disappointed. His work ethic is second to none and we would highly recommend him.
