Basement Conversions in Frating
Frating is a village in Essex, in the Tendring council area, within the CO7 postcode district. It’s around 6 miles west of our base in Thorpe-le-Soken. We also cover nearby Alresford, Ardleigh, Brightlingsea, Dedham, East Bergholt and Elmstead.
Planning and finishing the room
Every cellar is different. Yours may need plumbing and electrical alterations, and if it’s going to be used for storage we’ll recommend better ventilation. Once the space is dry we can dry line and insulate the walls so heat stays in and the room is comfortable all year.
Guaranteed and insured
Our basement work carries a 10-year guarantee, insurance-backed through GPI – something mortgage lenders often ask for. We use systems from Safeguard Europe and the Wykamol Group.
Waterproofing your basement
Because a basement sits below ground level – and sometimes below the water table – its walls and floor are under constant pressure from water and moisture. Before anything else we waterproof the space, using tanking or a cavity drain membrane system depending on the property.
We also offer house extensions in Frating, property restoration in Frating and damp proofing in Frating. Find out more about our basement and cellar conversions, or visit our dedicated damp proofing website for more on damp.

Do I need planning permission for a cellar conversion in Frating?
It depends on the property and what’s involved. Converting an existing cellar often doesn’t need planning permission, but building regulations usually apply, and listed buildings or excavation work may need consent from Tendring District Council. We’ll advise after the survey.

Yes. Our office will arrange a survey at a time that suits you, followed by a detailed report and estimate.
How do you keep a converted basement dry?
We waterproof the walls and floor with tanking or a cavity drain membrane system, depending on the property, before the room is finished.
