Basement Conversions in Saxmundham
Saxmundham is a town in Suffolk, in the East Suffolk council area, within the IP17 postcode district. It’s around 28 miles north-east of our base in Thorpe-le-Soken. We also cover nearby Aldeburgh, Aldringham cum Thorpe, Badingham, Benhall, Blythburgh and Bruisyard.
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
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.
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.
We also offer house extensions in Saxmundham, property restoration in Saxmundham and damp proofing in Saxmundham. Find out more about our basement and cellar conversions, or visit our dedicated damp proofing website for more on damp.

Basement Conversions in Saxmundham: FAQs
Do you carry out basement conversions in Saxmundham?
Yes. We convert cellars and basements in Saxmundham and across Suffolk. Call 01255 775913 to arrange a survey.
How far is Saxmundham from your base?
Saxmundham is about 28 miles north-east of our office in Thorpe-le-Soken, and well within the area we cover.
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 Saxmundham?
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.
How long does a basement conversion take?
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 Saxmundham?
Yes. Our office will arrange a survey at a time that suits you, followed by a detailed report and estimate.
