Basement Conversions in Gerrards Cross
ADB Construction & Interiors designs and builds basement conversions in Gerrards Cross and the SL9 area. When plots are valuable and planning rules limit what you can add above ground, digging down is often the smartest way to gain serious space. A basement can hold a cinema room, gym, office, wine store or guest suite without changing how your house looks from the street. Below ground work demands specialist engineering and waterproofing, and our team manages all of it as one project. Call 07700 170091 to find out what is possible under your home.
More Information
Space Without Changing the Street Scene
Basement projects rarely face the planning battles that large extensions do, because the house looks the same from outside. For homes near conservation areas or with limited garden space, that makes a basement the most achievable big move available. We advise on whether converting an existing cellar or excavating new space suits your property, and handle any consents required.
Waterproofing Done to Last
A basement is only as good as its waterproofing. We design below ground rooms to recognised waterproofing standards, typically combining a drained cavity membrane system with sump pumps and backup provision. Ventilation, heating and natural light through lightwells are designed in from the start. Our basements in the Gerrards Cross area are dry, warm and pleasant rooms, not damp afterthoughts.
Engineering and Neighbours Handled
Excavating beneath a house is serious structural work. We manage the structural engineering, underpinning design and building control approval, and where party walls are involved we guide you through the party wall process with your neighbours. Work is sequenced carefully, spoil is removed cleanly and the structure above is monitored throughout. It is demanding work, and it is work we plan meticulously.
ABOUT US
ADB Construction & Interiors was founded 6 years ago in the Gerrards Cross area. The idea was simple. Bring designers and builders together in one business so clients stop losing time, money and patience between separate firms. That approach has won us steady work across the SL9 postcode and beyond, from kitchen extensions in Chalfont St Giles to full rebuilds near Stoke Poges. We design it, we build it, and we manage it, all under one roof.

Clear written quotes and honest advice on every project
One striking basement project was beneath a family home on the Orchehill side of Gerrards Cross, where the owners wanted a cinema room and gym without sacrificing their garden. We excavated under the rear of the house, formed a lightwell against the back wall and delivered both rooms plus a plant and storage area. Their teenagers now host film nights downstairs while the ground floor stays peaceful, which the parents count as the real win.
