London Basement sponsors Barnes R.F.C.
We are pleased to announce our sponsorship of Barnes Rugby Football Club and would like to wish them every success for the 2010/2011 season.
Investment for the future
We are very pleased to announce an exciting new investment deal for London Basement, which will add to it's industry-leading reputation in basement development and construction.
The new company will be known as Holbase Ltd, trading as London Basement. This new venture is a partnership with long-established residential and commercial property development company the Hollybrook Group.
Bringing together these two great companies, with the solid reputation of London Basement as the market leader in basement construction, combined with the track record and experience of Hollybrook, going back over 20 years, it ensures we are well placed to take advantage of the upturn in conditions, and do what we do best, provide and deliver superb basement projects, in which we have unrivalled expertise.
On Site Open Day
London Basement recently held an "open day" at one of our sites in N.W. London, where architects, interior designers and clients, were invited along to enjoy some refreshments and have the opportunity to discuss their proposed projects with our experts on site, covering all aspects of a basement construction from the more technical through to design and finishes. There was also the rare opportunity of viewing a basement construction in progress at close hand, which all agreed was quite an experience and created a better understanding of what is involved.
The feedback has been extremely positive, with everybody telling us that they found it to be an extremely useful and informative event. Therefore, we will be putting plans in place to hold another event in the early Autumn.
George Clarke
We are very pleased to announce that we are soon to commence a basement construction for George Clarke, the presenter of the Home Show on Channel 4 on Thursday evenings at 8.00pm. If you would like to visit his web site, the address is www.georgeclarke.co.uk and under the heading My Tips, you will see an article about Basement Conversions and this explains better than anything why he chose London Basement.
Home investment
With the property market at a low ebb we have found that more and more people have opted to invest in their own properties rather than go the expense of moving, particularly when in most cases it is the need for more space that is the deciding factor.
To illustrate the level of interest in basement construction since the start of the ‘credit crunch’, there has been a 20% increase in the first quarter of 2009, compared to the first quarter of 2008.
The creation of a basement floor level provides genuine living space, with the possibility of constructing a basement below the entire property and even beyond, i.e. under the garden and we can even dig down more than one level, to create all the additional living space required.
Apart from the savings in moving costs, stamp duty and the cost of the larger property, you get to stay in the home that you have probably already invested your time, love and money, perhaps in an area where you have children settled in school.
Green Issues
Recycling
We are committed to recycling all waste and materials wherever possible, and to that end we have employed the use of recycling within our own yard, where any recyclable materials removed from site are separated at our yard into wood, metals and plastics, etc., and disposed of by a recycling agency that we employ.
To that end we have also introduced the use of green and red bins within our offices, so that we can ensure that all paper is recycled.
