Basement Conversions in Forest Heath
We cover the former Forest Heath district, now part of West Suffolk, around IP27. It’s around 47 miles north-west of our base in Thorpe-le-Soken. We also cover nearby Brandon, Elveden, Eriswell, Hockwold cum Wilton, Lakenheath and Lynford.
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
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 Forest Heath, property restoration in Forest Heath and damp proofing in Forest Heath. Find out more about our basement and cellar conversions, or visit our dedicated damp proofing website for more on damp.

How do you keep a converted basement dry?

What can I use a converted basement for?
Popular uses include a family room, home office, extra bedroom, kitchen or bathroom. We can add plumbing and electrics as part of the work.
Do I need planning permission for a cellar conversion in Forest Heath?
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 West Suffolk Council. We’ll advise after the survey.
