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.

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.
