Basement Renovation & Staircase Uplift – From Storage to Stylish Living Space

Situation:

A homeowner in Bexleyheath approached us with an unused, damp-prone basement. The space had potential but was neglected — cold, poorly lit, and used only for storage. They wanted to convert it into a functional, warm living space that could serve as a guest room or home office, adding real value to their home.

Task:

Our brief was to deliver a full basement conversion, creating a habitable, dry, and bright room while remaining compliant with building standards. The client requested a simple but high-quality finish with clear zoning for multi-use, all on a moderate budget.

Action:

• Carried out full damp-proofing and tanking system installation

• Fitted new insulation, plasterboard, and moisture-resistant flooring

• Installed bespoke joinery to work with the awkward ceiling height

• Added recessed spot lighting, fresh electrics, and new radiators

• Created a calm, neutral finish with paint, trims, and soft flooring

• Ensured full compliance with building regs and certificate provision

Result:

The basement was transformed into a versatile, warm, and inviting room, adding an entire new level of usable living space. The homeowner now uses it as both a guest room and study, significantly increasing both lifestyle value and resale appeal.
