Basement Conversion (Gym)

This basement was located underneath a detached house in Lytham St Annes and had been prone to flooding in the past. The concrete floor had cracked in several areas due to a build-up of hydrostatic pressure.

The clients wanted a dry habitable area for use as a home gym together with adjacent wet room and bespoke sauna. The floor level of the main gym was lowered to allow the use of a treadmill (which required increased head-height). The new wet room was sited under the staircase leading directly to the ground floor and the sauna was constructed on site by a specialist contractor in the area opposite the wet room.

Waterproofing was carried out internally using the Oldroyd Xv cavity drainage system.
