Vault Ceiling Cellar Conversion

Conversion of a Vault Cellar in Oldham to a Study/Home Office

With the increase of people working from home a cellar or basement can provide the perfect location for a study or office.

STONEDRY Bespoke Basement Conversions was requested to convert a wet cellar into an office. The customers main concern was that the cellar regularly flooded when the water table rose. STONEDRY were able to the exceed the customers expectations by using a sump & pump  and aqua channel system that would ensure a permanently dry room. In addition we recommended underfloor heating with Terracotta tiles which meant that the customer did not have to heat the whole house when working from home, saving the customer money.

 Testimonial

“Mine is a small vaulted cellar which was very damp with condensation. Nigel talked me through my options initially and throughout the conversion process, he obviously has real expertise. At all times I was involved in ensuring I got what I wanted. Nigel and his entire team arrived when they said they would and Nigel always called me if there were any problems etc. They also made pains to ensure that they left my house in a clean and tidy state at the end of every week and were courteous and friendly at all times. The finished cellar is fantastic and I am very happy with it.”

 Testimonial

“Our basement was a damp cold uninviting space. We had several quotes which varied greatly. Nigel was really approachable and listened to what we wanted. During the conversion he consulted with us thoroughly. Nigel came up with brilliant ideas to convert a small understairs area that other builders just wanted to brick up. Our joists were in a terrible state crumbling and wet and we were in danger of losing a beautiful mosaic tiled floor. Thanks to Nigel’s hard and careful work the floor is now safe. Our basement is fantastic. We are over the moon with the work carried out. We cannot thank Nigel enough. Our son is using the rooms as a recording studio!!”

Major Structural Works in Flooding Basement

/in /by

Structurally Unsafe Basement in Huddersfield in need of Underpinning

This job was broken into two stages. Initial work took place outside on the drainage around house. The top water was not being managed efficiently partially due to the existing drains being blocked and also the lack of a land drain this was putting extra pressure on an already flooding basement.  New drainage was laid  and the area around the house was re-flagged. Once the outside work was complete we moved onto tackling the basement. Channels were dug for the new drainage, which lead to a water pumping station. The foundations had been undermined by the previous owners and therefore required underpinning, supporting structural walls to be cast and replacement RSJ’s.
