Liberate space...under your feet

Digging down under your house and even into your garden can create a huge new living space for your family. Basements can be used for a wide range of purposes including a separate self contained flat, a den for teenagers or even, at the top end of the market, an indoor swimming pool.

Convert an existing cellar

The easiest way to create a basement is to convert your existing cellar. This can add a brand new dimension without structurally altering your home. To check if yours is suitable you will need a head height of at least 2.4m (7ft 9”).

Dig out a 'retrofit' basement from the ground

In London and the South East where space is at a premium, the addition of a ‘retrofit’ basement can give you the freedom to expand your property as far as your garden or your budget allows. We provide everything from underpinning, piling, ground works and bulk excavation, to designing, lighting, painting and finishing your new basement.

You will need to liaise with your local planning and building control departments when installing your basement. The Lofts and Extensions Company can manage the complete process - from design to approval - as part of its service.
