Transforming a Family Home

Basement Conversions
Matt and Molly, residents of a Cheltenham town center terraced house, sought to transform their dusty and damp basement into a versatile space with utility, storage, and an office. The basement had an existing eight-foot-high ceiling and electricity, making it a suitable canvas for the project.

The Project

Guardian Waterproofing took on the challenge, creating a multi-functional space for utility, storage, and an office by installing a full waterproofing system. With a strong rapport and a focus on the couple’s vision, the project exceeded expectations, adding a “wow factor” to their home and providing a bright, organized workspace for Matt.

The Challenges

  • The basement was initially plagued by dust, bare bricks, and persistent damp issues, posing a significant challenge for creating a functional living space
  • Matt and Molly desired a multi-functional room for utility, storage, and an office in a space that had to accommodate various needs, yet had limited space
  • The project required maintaining harmony with the rest of the house while converting the basement into a bright and functional space

Our Approach

Approaching the Byham basement conversion project, we assessed the space’s damp and cluttered conditions, capitalizing on existing advantages like a high ceiling, electricity, and a window to minimize excavation costs. To meet the clients’ needs for a multifunctional space, we installed a full cavity drain membrane waterproofing system, including a pumping station for waste water management in the utility room. Through close collaboration with Matt and Molly, we incorporated their design preferences and finishing touches, delivering a space that not only addressed challenges but also exceeded expectations in terms of functionality and aesthetics.

Customer Insights

I definitely recommend Guardian Waterproofing. They’re a friendly, honest, approachable and professional company. Tim has been back since. He wanted to come back and see the place and check out how the sump pump was doing. If there was ever an issue we know we could call Guardian and they’d give us the right advice and get it sorted.
