Basement Finishing in Taunton SW — Completing the Below-Ground Space

Basement finishing is needed where a basement is being converted to usable space, whether for living accommodation, storage, or plant. It suits residential and commercial projects where the below-ground space must be finished after the substructure is complete.

Typical basement finishing projects include domestic basement conversions, commercial basement fit-outs, and the finishing of any below-ground space.

Basement finishing is the work that completes a below-ground space after the substructure — the walls, slab and waterproofing — is in place. The finishing may include internal walls, floors, services, and the fit-out that makes the basement usable. We carry out finishing works as part of the wider basement package, so the finishing is coordinated with the substructure and the waterproofing, not handed to a separate contractor.

We carry out the finishing works — internal walls, floors, services, and fit-out — after the substructure and waterproofing are complete. We coordinate the finishing with the substructure and with building control throughout.

Basement finishing cost depends on the area, the level of finish, the services required, and the fit-out. Access and the existing substructure also affect cost. We provide a fixed quote within 48 hours of the site visit.

Do you do the waterproofing before the finishing?

Yes. The waterproofing is part of the substructure, completed before the finishing begins. The finishing is carried out on a dry, waterproofed shell, so the below-ground space is usable and protected. We coordinate the whole sequence.
