Basement Conversions in Harefield, Kensington & Prime London

New living space below the footprint of your home — excavated, waterproofed and finished to a luxury standard.

Overview

Basements, engineered before they're finished.

A basement is the most technically demanding way to add space — and the most rewarding when it's done properly. We lead with structural engineering, waterproofing and party-wall discipline, then finish the space as a genuine part of the home.

  • Basement excavation and underpinning
  • Sub-house and garden basements with lightwells
  • Waterproofing, tanking and drainage to BS 8102
  • Party-wall agreements and structural engineering handled

Basement Conversions questions

Can't see your question? Ask us directly

Basements are the highest-ticket work we do — cost depends on depth, ground conditions and finish. We quote in writing after structural and ground assessment, with no surprises.

Often yes, particularly in prime boroughs and conservation areas, alongside building regs and a party-wall process. We manage all of it as part of the project.

Most basement projects run several months to a year given the excavation, structural and waterproofing stages. We programme each phase and keep you informed.

Most homes can take a basement, but ground conditions, the water table and neighbouring structures all matter. A ground and structural survey tells us for certain.

Underpinning extends and strengthens existing foundations so the house sits safely above the new space. Whether it's needed depends on depth and existing footings — the engineer specifies it.
