01
First Few Days
We will be contacting building control to arrange a pre-work visit,
We start the project by stripping out any fixed items, such as stone shelving, ceiling surfaces, wall covering ie boards,
Any plumbing or electrical items are made safe and disconnected,
We break any existing floor surfacing such as concrete or stone, we then begin to excavate the subfloor to the desired levels,
02
Structure
We carry out any structural work if necessary, such as removing walls, creating new opening etc
if necessary, at this stage we would also carry out any underpinning work and foundation reinfocement work,
All our structural work is designed and calculated by a structural engineer
03
Preparations
The walls are been prepared with moisture management system, (cavity drain membrane)
together with parameter drainage system which will carry away any water gatherring in the channels,
Also at this point, we will arrange for a visit from building regulation inspector for an aproval go ahead with next step, Concrete,
04
New Floor
A new concrete floor is now been poured, and will dry withing 48hr ready for us to walk on and move on to next stage.
Insulation is applied on top of the new floor cavity drain membrane,
A new 18mm chipboard flooring is laid on top of the insulation creating a warm floor system,
This floor finish is a great base for your finished flooring, ie, carpet, LVT (luxury vinyl tile) laminate flooring, and engineered hardwood, just to note: for tiling over, you will need to apply a cement-based board or element board under the tiles, to give a waterproofed factor.

Wall & Ceiling Covering
This is an exiting stage, the drylinning or plasterboarding as we call it :)
At the end of this stage the client will get to see finally the vision becomes reality, as the basement gets it shape and size definitions,
The next stage is the finish plaster and probably the most important stage, as we only have on chance
to get the right finish on the walls and ceilings, ( We trust our plasterers greatly)

Final Touches
This is the final part, decorating, we do not employ a decorator, however, we can recommend one for you,
It is time to collect the last payment and hand over the keys,
An electrical certificate will be emailed to you to submit to building control,
ones the inspector has visited and gave a thumb's up, they always do :)
he will then provide you a completion certificate for your safe keep, you will need this certificate if you're planning to sell your house at any point in the future,
