Cellar Conversions : Basement Conversions : Vaults |
|
If you can't go up or out what about down?
Cellar conversions are great but very costly. You can look at paying around £1000.00 per cubic metre
but they make good games rooms, kitchens, studies, utility rooms, gyms - you can even have a swimming pool installed.

Project 1 - Conversion of cellar to make use of unused space to provide an office and a utility room.
We were lucky with this cellar as the headroom was 2 meters already, this made easy work for us builders.
We had to lower by 300mm to insulate and make watertight. We then had to tank the walls,
that is waterproof the walls with a sand and cement with a sika additive.
Fire proof the ceiling and board.
Plaster complete.
This cellar conversion was in Bromley North West Kent.

Project 2 - Small cellar conversion to provide a children's playroom and utility room. Height 2 metres, all walls and floors tanked using Skia System.
No such luck here.
We had a lot of excavation to do as well as lower the floor by 1.5 meters; we had to
remove to soil to walls to make this 4 meters by 3 meters. 17 skips later we were ready for retaining walls.
The client wanted to use this for dry storage only.
This small cellar conversion was in Lewisham south east London

Project 3 - Wasted arch space converted to provide a dry storage area and toilet facilities.
These were old arched coal bunkers.
We had to take back the top landing by 600mm.

In one of the arches we supplied and fitted a toilet and hand basin.
The other arches where used for dry storage and bin enclosures.
These works were carried out in Chelsea central London.
Chelsea, a parking nightmare for us builders!
