Cellar conversions across Yorkshire and Manchester
Many Yorkshire terraces and semis have a cellar that's only used for storage. Properly tanked, insulated and lit, it becomes an office, gym, playroom or extra bedroom.

Common questions
Do I need planning permission?
Converting an existing cellar usually doesn't need planning, but it does need building regulations. Adding a lightwell may need planning.
Will it be completely dry?
Yes, with the right tanking or cavity membrane system. We survey first to choose the right one.
