Basement waterproofing is such a big subject. Over the years we've worked with a variety of materials and different contractors carrying out waterproofing. You only get one shot at basement waterproofing, so you need to choose the best system design and materials. The way those materials are used and how the system is assembled must be completely understood. As the main contractor we'd almost always contract out the basement waterproofing to Trace Basements Systems. Yes, that is another plug, but no, we aren't connected to them at all, we just prefer to work closely with them on projects.
Hampstead Builders Ltd are main contractors, which means we are normally the principle building company on site, and any other specialist companies will be our subcontractors. We carry out both external and internal refurbishment projects in both domestic and commercial properties, providing a comprehensive service from survey stage right through to project completion, including CDM (Construction Development Management) coordination. We have a vast experience of working closely with local authorities and dealing with planning permission and Building Control, which is valuable to the smooth progress of a refurbishment.
Every conservatory we build is custom fabricated to fit your property and is constructed to your exact specifications. Our conservatories are always designed to suit your needs and not pre-designed and built before we come to your door. Whether you want a top of the range conservatory with all the extras, a custom shaped bespoke conservatory or a small simple leanto porch with no frills. They're always made to suit your home. A custom-made conservatory installation is well suited to properties where height restrictions control the shape of the conservatory and will make the most use of every millimetre of space, which is something that an "off the shelf" conservatory can never do.
For a growing family, extending and developing your house is one of the most economical ways of giving yourself more living space whilst, at the the same time, increasing the value of your property. An extension can be single or two storey, at the side or rear of the building; it can also be a dormer section to a converted loft, or even a conservatory. With 25 years+ experience in building extensions, Hampstead Builders Ltd offer an unrivaled service. Call or fill out the online quote form to get started.
The problem with this property was that the original builders didn't install the correct waterproofing membrane when building the basement. Our contract was to strip out the flat and store all the salvageable items, install a new waterproofing membrane and re-fit the flat back to its original standards. The contract time was set for 6 months and we knew we'd incur penalties if we didn't complete on time. We project-managed the works, making sure that all subcontractors were punctual on site and conducted their work as detailed in the specifications.
This property was an old council house and had been converted into three flats back in the 70s. Camden Council had neglected the property for some time and as part of their policy of regenerating their property stock, they sold the property off to a developer. We were asked to price for the complete modernisation of the property a new basement and a loft conversion. The work went out to tender and we won the contract, so work stripping out the property started almost immediately. A time scale was set for approximately 9 months, however no fixed contract time could be given at this point, as we were still awaiting Planning and Building Control.
Basements come in many forms which generally fall into 2 categories: Retrofit - where a basement is developed under an existing building and New Build - where a basement is built on a new piece of land. Depending on where you are in Hampstead, it's cheaper to develop the space under your house than it is to move. What's more, most of the time it's an investment, as the space you gain adds extra value to your property. To answer this, the first thing you should do is have someone (hopefully us) take a look (free initial inspection and consultation).
Back in the 80s, loft conversions became the rage as a great way of utilising space you already have, and today they still are. Today's building regulations have made it more complicated to convert the loft to its full potential, but with the rising cost of property and the cost of moving, it's still a fantastic option. Like most things, before taking the plunge, make sure that the size of the loft area is OK to form into a loft roof. Your first step will be to make sure the existing head height is around 2.4m.
