It’s like magic, but with less top hats and more hard hats.
It can add up to 20-30% to your property’s value. That’s not just an improvement; it’s a property value revolution. In Crawley’s competitive housing market, this could be the difference between a good sale and a “champagne and caviar” celebration.
Believe it or not, a well-converted basement can be an energy-saving superhero. With proper insulation and smart design, your new space can help regulate your home’s temperature, potentially slashing your energy bills. Mother Earth will thank you, and so will your wallet!

We’re proud to be local lads and lasses, born and bred in the heart of West Sussex. But don’t let our name fool you – we’re not just confined to Crawley’s borders. Oh no, we’re spreading our basement-converting magic far and wide across this beautiful county!
Our local knowledge isn’t just about knowing the best pubs (although we’ve got that covered too). It means we understand the unique challenges and opportunities presented by West Sussex’s varied landscape and architecture. From the chalky South Downs to the Weald’s clay, from Tudor timber frames to Georgian townhouses, we’ve seen it all and converted it all.
Depending on the complexity, it can take anywhere from 8 to 20 weeks. We’ll give you a more accurate timeline after assessing your specific project.
Indeed we can! We have extensive experience working with older properties, ensuring we preserve their character while adding modern amenities.
We have several tricks up our sleeves, from light wells to sun pipes, to ensure your basement is bright and airy.
Ideally, you want at least 2.4 meters. If your existing cellar is shorter, we can look into lowering the floor level.
It’s possible, but it requires specific planning permission. We can advise you on the best approach for your situation.
We’ll work with you to design the most convenient and aesthetically pleasing access point, whether that’s internal stairs or an external entrance.

We use a combination of natural and mechanical ventilation systems to keep the air fresh and prevent moisture build-up.
Home cinemas, gyms, offices, and additional bedrooms are all popular choices. The sky’s the limit – or should we say, the ground’s the limit!
We manage all aspects of waste removal, ensuring it’s done efficiently and with minimal disruption to you and your neighbors.
Absolutely! We’re experts at installing all necessary plumbing for fully functional bathrooms and kitchens.
Our structural engineers assess every project carefully, and we use tried-and-tested methods to ensure your home remains stable throughout the process.
