Homeowners across the UK are realising the numerous benefits of having a new basement. Often, a basement can add significant square footage to a property, increasing the amount of living space available, and the price of the house itself. As professional basement converters the team at Abtech Basement Systems have long known the various advantages of a new basement London. However, we also know that decorating your basement into a functional and stylish living space is often harder than it sounds.

As specialist, we have extensive experience in construction, converting and decorating basements – allowing us to give you some interior design tips on decorating your new basement.

Identify Its Use

The first step to designing an interior space is to identify how you intend to use it. You can use a basement for many uses, whether you want a bespoke bedroom London, a gym, cinema room, swimming pool or playroom – you can do whatever you like with this new found space.

Lighting

Lighting is very important, here at Abtech Basement Systems we can incorporate light wells and light fittings to provide a lot of lighting. The light wells offer natural lighting, while artificial lighting can be scattered around the room to enhance certain features and make it a friendly and useable space.

Colour Scheme

Many homeowners often believe neutral colours should be used in a basement to make it feel spacious and light. In some cases this can have the opposite effect, as neutral colours can drain a room and make it feel cold and dull.

Often it is best to have an accent colour which is bold, either on a feature wall or used in the accessories. This adds colour, without drawing any of the light from the room.

If you want professional advice on getting a new basement London, then you should contact the team at Abtech Basement Systems. With our extensive experience and industry gained expertise you can rest assured that with our help your new basement will run smoothly from start to finish.

It’s recently been reported that property prices in the majority of the UK are falling. However, within London property prices have risen by 0.2% for month-on-month figures, which is primarily due to the competition for houses within the capital. If you want to ensure that the value of your property increases whilst also offering extra space for you and your family, then you should consider allowing our experienced team here at Abtech Basements to provide you with basement conversions London.

How Much Will a Basement Increase the Value of a Property?

Unfortunately there is no set amount that a basement conversion will increase your property’s value by, as there are a number of factors which need to be taken into consideration, including:

• Size of the basement – a typical three-bedroom house with a partial basement conversion will increase in value by roughly 4.1%, whilst a full storey basement conversion is likely to increase the value even further.

• Quality of the fittings

• Value of nearby properties

Our Services:

For the last fifteen years, our team here at Abtech Basements have been providing homeowners throughout London with a range of basement conversions. During our time within the industry we’ve not only built up an enviable reputation for being a reliable and professional basement conversion firm, but also a large skill-set which enables us to carry out a range of basement conversion work.

As part of our service, we’ll provide your new basement with the required waterproofing properties, along with incorporating any extras you desire, such as lightwells, double glazing West London windows, stairs and basement terraces.

If you want to increase the value of your property without building an extension which minimises the available space within your garden, then contact our team here at Abtech Basements and see how our basement conversions London can assist you.

Basements are a great way of increasing the amount of space in your property. Many properties have already had extensions, so naturally the next step now is to create additional space beneath the ground. The popularity of a basement London has steadily increased as homeowners realise that waterproofing systems and standards have improved drastically.

Traditional methods of waterproofing have meant that damp has remained a worrying and very real problem for homeowners. Luckily, this has been eradicated by the use of specialist waterproofing systems installed by approved engineers. At Abtech Basements our entire team of specialist technicians are all approved Delta Membrane fitters. This is good news for customers thinking of having a basement installed as it means that all work carried out is completed to an extremely high standard.

Delta is one of the leading manufacturers of premium waterproofing systems. Yet, even with a working product, poor workmanship can result in damp occurring regardless of the system in place. In recognition of this problem, Delta ran a ‘registered Installers’ scheme, meaning that engineers approved by this scheme have been trained to install the system correctly. Abtech Basements are a registered installer of Delta waterproof membranes, which can be verified by visiting Delta’s own website.

When a basement has been damp proofed by a professional it can used for almost anything. As approved installers, we have the expertise and the skill to fit Delta waterproofing systems accurately. Whatever you intend to use your basement for, our team here at Abtech Basements can provide the expertise to produce the results to fit your requirements. So if you want an indoor swimming pool in your basement complete with swimming pool cover, or you simply want room for an office or a playroom, then a basement is a great way to obtain the space you need without moving.

Training also involved guidance on ascertaining the situations in which differing technology should be used.

After successfully obtaining the required accreditation, here at Abtech Basements we’re now able to install a range of Delta membranes in a variety of situations.

At Abtech Basement systems we can provide you with a quality and damp proof basement London.

Delta Membrane
