Damp Proofing & Building Services
Basement Conversions Cannock
Specialist Building Services tackle a range of basement work from replacing rotten timbers and improving ventilation to full waterproofing and conversion to make your basement a habitable room.
Historically, cellars and basements have benefited from ventilation via coal shutes and the airing of the space due to daily activities for example bringing coal into the upper levels of the building for heating and cooking etc. However, cellars and basements are invariably visibly damp due to the very nature of the construction and the placement of such walling in a subterranean environment.
Using specialist ‘basement waterproofing techniques’, we can transform your cellar or basement into habitable accommodation. This can considerably add to the value of your property.
Converting a damp cellar or basement is not has expensive that you might think, many of our clients are surprised with the planning we offer and the end result converting cellars into kitchens, bathrooms, wine cellars and even offices.
Getting professional advice before purchase is the essential key, before any installation, so feel free to get in-touch for some free, sound and professional advice.

PREVENTION is always better than the cure!
The solutions for the treatment of damp have come a long way with modern methods, which allows us to eradicate the problem for good, but can be caused by a wide spread of building defects and can sometimes be difficult to diagnose.
Luckily, our experts know exactly what to look out for with years of experience in the field, but prevention is always the best cure, so to help prevent damp, there are a few simple things you can do to help reduce the risk of damp or existing damp getting worse, these typically include:
- Ventilation - Ppen windows and doors, especially in the morning and after cooking or showering.
- Heating - Use your heating to keep your home warm, especially in the winter. This can help prevent condensation from forming on cold walls.
- Dehumidifier - Use a dehumidifier to help with damp, but it's only a temporary solution.
- Damp Proofing - To resolve rising damp, you can install a damp proofing course (DPC) or a damp membrane. A DPC is injected into holes in the masonry, while a damp membrane acts as a physical barrier.
