 Basement Conversions DerbyshireAre you considering a basement or cellar conversion? With today’s modern living the need for extra space has become more essential. One great option is converting a once neglected, mouldy basement or cellar into wonderful cosy living areas. As well as gaining space you have the added bonus that a basement conversion can add 20 to 30% to the value of the property.So why choose us to take your project forward? Building Solutions (Midlands) will take care of the whole project from the initial conception to the final completion using only the best quality materials and products available. We will take full control and oversee the entire project including lighting, plumbing, all electrical work and damp proofing. We have our own team of dedicated specialist tradesmen to carry out the groundworks, underpinning, new basement formations, tanking, plastering, joinery, electrics and plumbing. Is my home suitable?If your house has an existing cellar or a coal chute then it can be converted very easily. There could still be quite a lot of digging down so there is a head height of 2.4m. Houses with solid floors will need more work and disruption than houses with timber floors and this will be reflected in the price. Victorian houses and older types of properties are best suited for basement conversions as they have timber-suspended floors. This means the work can be carried out from outside, which means you can easily continue to live in your property while the renovations are taking place. Planning PermissionPlanning permission is not usually needed for a basement conversion, but it may be required if it involves a change of use such as converting the cellar to a garage or an office. If your property is a listed building then planning permission may be needed. For more information contact your Local Council offices. Building Regulations Basement conversions will need to comply with a number of Building Regulations. These regulations cover such things as fire escape routes, ventilation, damp proofing, electrical wiring and water supplies. In addition, structural underpinning and foundation work is likely to be required. The Party Wall Act 1996 needs to be taken into consideration. It is important your neighbours know your plans. If you do not inform them they could stop the work. With Building Solutions (Midlands) you will get a project manager who will deal with all aspects of planning permission and building regulations so you don’t have to worry. Every part of the project is taken care of which leaves you to plan your interior. We also have experience with:
