Once you book our services, we visit your property to assess the ground conditions and project requirements. We create a basement design that seamlessly accommodates all your unique needs. Our experts begin their work with a basement excavation, which involves digging out the ground beneath your property's structure to remove rocks, soil, and other materials, thereby creating a lower level beneath your property's ground floor.
After completing the dig-out phase as part of site preparation, we lay reinforced concrete foundations to provide a stable and robust base for the entire structure. Following the substructure works, we add damp proofing and waterproofing elements that help prevent moisture buildup and the growth of mould or mildew in the basement. Our professionals then add finishing touches according to your requirements, paying close attention to detail.

The cost of structural basement works is influenced by several factors, including the design’s complexity, excavation requirements, ground conditions, site preparation, type of finishing, and the location and size of your property.
Yes, our experts can build a basement in your home during the initial phases of construction or as part of an extension or renovation of your property by excavating beneath your home’s ground floor and creating a lower-level space that can be used for several purposes.
Basement rooms tend to feel cooler than upper floor rooms due to the reduced amount of sunlight that enters the lower levels of your property. Moreover, the basement area is surrounded by soil, which naturally keeps it cool while maintaining a stable temperature. To overcome lower temperatures during the winter season, you can enhance insulation for better heat retention, install a central heating system, and seal drafts around doors, windows, and other openings to prevent hot air from escaping.
A properly constructed basement with high-quality finishes can enhance your property's appeal and add to its value, due to the increased square footage.
A basement area can be utilised for various purposes, including an entertainment space, a guest room, a gym, a home office, a living area, a playroom for kids, or a storage space. You can also rent out this extra living space in your home.
