Basement Conversions in Thetford
Thetford is a town in Norfolk, in the Breckland council area, within the IP24 postcode district. It’s around 42 miles north-west of our base in Thorpe-le-Soken. In the same postcode district we also work in places such as Barnham, Brettenham, Croxton, Elveden, Eriswell and Euston.
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
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.

Do I need planning permission for a cellar conversion in Thetford?
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 Breckland 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.
