A London Basement Company Making Grand Designs
Adding a basement to a new build property is an effective way to create an impressive room where space is limited. When planning restrictions or a lack of land prevents an above-ground extension, a basement makes a great solution. A professional London basement company can build a basement on even the smallest of plots, and this is precisely what Abtech Basements did for Claire Farrow and Ian Hogarth. Channel 4’s Grand Designs followed the couple as they built their dream home on a tiny plot at the end of a London mews; the centrepiece of which was a basement constructed by our expert team.
Our team worked with Claire and Ian to create a design that matched their specific requirements, which included space for a nightclub-style dance floor and a luxurious sauna. After a lengthy wait for planning permission, we were finally able to proceed with the build and begin transforming the couple’s dream into a reality.
Over forty five years of experience in ground engineering was put to the test by this complicated urban build. Our highly-qualified team used their expertise to carry out a precise excavation using the latest excavator Oxford, which was made more difficult by the close proximity of neighbouring houses and the nearby railway line.
The problems of building on a small plot were compounded by the unexpected appearance of water from an old river, which made the basement resemble a swimming pool. Once this water was pumped out, we could proceed with finishing the construction of the couple’s basement. Overcoming the problems of this project required a huge effort from our team, but our many years of experience in the design and installation of high-quality basements helped us to complete the build and present our clients with a space which they really loved.
When choosing a London basement company, it is important to find a firm who have all of the appropriate industry accreditations, and who have established a great reputation for high standards of workmanship. With Abtech Basements, you can rest assured that your project is in safe hands, and you too can create your very own grand design.
