We are registered with the PCA Waterproofing Design Specialist (WDS) Register, ensuring that your conversion is both structurally sound and waterproof.
 

Building Regulations and Planning Applications

Many homeowners are unaware that basement and cellar conversions require building regulations and, in some cases, planning permission. While converting a cellar to habitable space typically only needs building control approval, certain alterations such as new window/door openings or creating external access may require planning consent. We ensure that all necessary permissions and approvals are obtained, making the process seamless for you.
