Garden basement

With increasing pressure on families to find adequate living space, it is important to make the most of what you already have and be creative in the way you build.
Conventionally, people have looked at the idea of building garden rooms or log cabins in back gardens, as well as the possibility of digging out or refurbishing basements.

Garden Rooms

Why not combine the two ideas and create a room in the garden that is submerged and doesn’t take up any additional space No loss of light, no loss of space and the garden aesthetics remain in tact!  When finished, it looks as though it is part of the garden; a decking area or planting - a wholly usable space.

A Garden room is quite simply, a smart solution for modern living, increasing your living space without compromising what already exists.
The Base Room® structure is built almost entirely (95%), below ground with steps leading down to the new room. The final element, however, at ground level, allows the introduction of up to 360º daylight. The Base Room® construction allows total flexibility for windows and doors and the timber roof is strong enough to support a garden terrace with decking or planting. The internal finish is up to personal choice.

Waterproofing

Making sure that your Garden room is properly tanked and remains dry, is of paramount importance and so each structure is waterproofed in accordance with the British Standard 8102.
Each Base Room® site is individually surveyed to assess the type of waterproofing that is needed for that particular application. Depending on soil types and water levels, as well as how the room is to be finished internally, a combination of different systems may be employed to provide the best solution for your project. Wykamol are able to provide this innovative structure with a whole range of solutions from exterior waterproof membranes and geotextile sheeting, through to full cavity wall systems with internal drainage and sump pumps.

Design and installation is overseen by our waterproofing specialists, guaranteeing you total peace of mind.
