Converting Your Basement

What To Use A Basement Conversion For

A basement conversion is a smart way to create extra living space without the need for a loft conversion or home extension. Whether you need a home office, guest room, gym or cinema room – transforming your basement can unlock your home’s full potential.

At Biocraft South West, we specialise in basement conversions across Wiltshire, Somerset, Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire, turning unused basements into high-quality, functional spaces.

Every successful basement conversion starts with expert basement waterproofing. Using industry-leading tanking systems, we protect your new space from ground moisture and ensure it remains dry, safe and built to last.

What Can I Convert My Basement Into?

Our basement conversions lend themselves to many uses and we’ve helped convert basements into a variety of living spaces such as

Bedrooms – If your family is growing and you are in need of more rooms, then converting the basement into a sub-terrain bedroom could be an ideal course of action.
Lounges/Screening rooms – A relaxing lounge with sofas, TV and other entertainment systems is often a favourite choice of many clients as the basement presents a feeling of separation between the rest of the world making it easy to relax. Due to the great sound insulation of basement lounges, sound is easily contained so you don’t have to worry about disturbing the rest of the house or neighbours.
Gyms – Home fitness is a growing industry and if you are dedicated to your training then having a home gym can be extremely convenient. At Biocraft, we have converted old coal cellars into fully functioning gym rooms complete with lighting and air conditioning units.
Workshops – Carpentry workshops and other machine-based crafts are extremely well suited to basements sometimes more so that garages as the use of bandsaws, grinders and sanders can be very loud. With sound being mostly absorbed down through the floor, earth and not into the rest of the house, basement workshops are a great option.
Offices – The peace and serenity of a basement office lends its self to huge amounts of productivity. For the UK’s estimated 2.9 million home businesses the basement is the perfect location for focusing without disruption or distraction. With an extensive range of lighting available, you can turn your basement into a well ordered and comfortable office or study space to run a business or otherwise.

Biocraft South West utilise industry leading ventilation systems using cutting edge technology to cure dampness and condensation, whilst removing pollutants from the home.

Are basement conversions a good investment?

As land is becoming more scarce, property owners have sought to maximise their living space on the land they own. However, gaining planning permission from local authorities for above ground extensions such as conservatories has become increasingly difficult long-winded and expensive. Basement conversions that require no structural changes are a great way to accommodate the extra living space at a cheaper rate without the need to go through lengthy planning processes.

A professional extension and addition of an extra room can raise the value of your property and provide a healthy return on investment.
