Cellar & Basement Waterproofing Regulations

Posted in basement conversion

We receive a lot of enquiries from homeowners who wish to convert their unused basement or cellar into a useable and habitable space and who seem surprised when we ask them about Building Regulations.

………………………………………

Building Regulations BS8102 apply to underground structures and set out best practice and the procedures to be followed in order to gain Building Approval Certification. Especially relevant are the methods used to waterproof the cellar and the implications for lowering the floor height particularly when there is a party wall involved.

……………………………………

When a basement cellar conversion is carried out to the correct specification the property increases in value due to the addition of an extra room and the homeowner has peace of mind knowing there will not be any future problems.
