Basement and Cellar Conversions in London

Alfa Quality Construction provides basement conversions in London for homes and commercial properties. We convert basements and cellars into practical spaces, with layouts planned around the condition of the building and intended use.

Before work is agreed, we review access, ceiling height, the existing structure and moisture conditions. Waterproofing, ventilation, drainage, electrical and plumbing work and any structural or approval requirements are considered as part of the proposed conversion. Before starting, review Planning Portal’s basement planning guidance and confirm requirements with your local planning authority.

Space and Layout

We discuss how you want to use the basement, including room layout, stair access, ceiling height and storage. Lighting, ventilation and escape routes are considered alongside the existing structure. The proposed design is planned around your available space, daily needs and any requirements that apply to the intended use of the converted rooms.

Waterproofing and Drainage

Basement waterproofing needs a system suited to the structure and moisture conditions. We discuss the proposed waterproofing approach, drainage and any specialist design needed before construction. Ventilation and insulation are also considered when preparing the space for its intended use, with the agreed requirements reflected in the work plan.
