Basement Conversions in St Edmundsbury
We cover the former St Edmundsbury area, now part of West Suffolk, around the IP33 postcode district. It’s around 33 miles north-west of our base in Thorpe-le-Soken. In the same postcode district we also work in places such as Bury St Edmunds and Westley.
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
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).
We also offer house extensions in St Edmundsbury, property restoration in St Edmundsbury and damp proofing in St Edmundsbury. Find out more about our basement and cellar conversions, or visit our dedicated damp proofing website for more on damp.

Basement Conversions in St Edmundsbury: FAQs
Do you carry out basement conversions in St Edmundsbury?
Yes. We convert cellars and basements in St Edmundsbury and across Suffolk. Call 01255 775913 to arrange a survey.
How far is St Edmundsbury from your base?
St Edmundsbury is about 33 miles north-west of our office in Thorpe-le-Soken, and well within the area we cover.
Do I need planning permission for a cellar conversion in St Edmundsbury?
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.
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 St Edmundsbury?
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.
