Moving to new premises can be costly and stressful, basement conversions offer an economical solution and an alternative to a costly relocation. Space is at a premium and a modest investment will reap rewards if you are an owner occupier. For a tenant it can also make perfect sense as Landlords are often willing to contribute towards the structural waterproofing & environmental costs of a project
The eight main elements of a basement conversion:
- Tanking / damp / waterproofing system
- Thermal & Acoustic insulation
- Introduction of natural light / lighting that is as close as possible to daylight
- Ventilation
- Heating & Cooling
- Fire safety
- Safe access/egress
- Minimum head height of 2.200 M
