Basement Conversions in Cratfield
Cratfield is a village in Suffolk, in the East Suffolk council area, within the IP19 postcode district. It’s around 34 miles north of our base in Thorpe-le-Soken. We also cover nearby Blyford, Blythburgh, Bramfield, Chediston, Cookley and Halesworth.
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
We work closely with Safeguard Europe and the Wykamol Group, and our basement waterproofing is backed by a 10-year guarantee, insurance-backed through Guarantee Protection Insurance Ltd (GPI).
Waterproofing your basement
Keeping water out is the most important part of any cellar conversion. Our surveyor will look at the walls, floor and any existing moisture and specify tanking or a cavity drain membrane system so the finished room stays dry.
We also offer house extensions in Cratfield, property restoration in Cratfield and damp proofing in Cratfield. Find out more about our basement and cellar conversions, or visit our dedicated damp proofing website for more on damp.

Basement Conversions in Cratfield: FAQs
Do you carry out basement conversions in Cratfield?

How far is Cratfield from your base?
Cratfield is about 34 miles north of our office in Thorpe-le-Soken, and well within the area we cover.
Do I need planning permission for a cellar conversion in Cratfield?
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 East Suffolk Council. We’ll advise after the survey.

It depends on the size of the space and how much work is needed. After the survey we’ll give you a detailed specification and a schedule.
Do you offer free surveys in Cratfield?
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.
