Basement Conversions in Elmswell
Elmswell is a village in Suffolk, in the Mid Suffolk council area, within the IP30 postcode district. It’s around 28 miles north of our base in Thorpe-le-Soken. In the same postcode district we also work in places such as Beyton, Bradfield St. Clare, Bradfield St. George, Cockfield, Drinkstone and Felsham.
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.
Planning and finishing the room
We’ll talk through how you want to use the space and draw up a specification to suit – including any plumbing, electrics and ventilation. Dry lining and insulation then make the room warm and ready for decorating.
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).
We also offer house extensions in Elmswell, property restoration in Elmswell and damp proofing in Elmswell. Find out more about our basement and cellar conversions, or visit our dedicated damp proofing website for more on damp.
