RTC Case Studies

The owners of a 7-bedroom, mid-terraced property located near the centre of Lytham St Annes in Lancashire sought to convert their damp and underutilised cellar into a functional, stylish, and relaxing adults’ chill-out space. Inspired by a recommendation from a previous successful cellar conversion in the area, they envisioned a private retreat that would include a home cinema, wet room, and a bespoke sauna, with access from both inside and outside the property.

A 17-bedroom hotel located adjacent to the promenade underwent a complete basement conversion to transform an underused and damp lower level into a vibrant, functional space. The newly converted basement now houses a modern hotel bar and two private bedrooms, significantly enhancing the property’s usability and guest offering.

A homeowner sought to convert the basement of their two-story, double-fronted Victorian home, built around 1860, into a functional living space. The brief was to create a playroom, guest bedroom, and a wet room within the existing basement, which consisted of two rooms and a wide hallway. The project involved addressing structural, spatial, and moisture control challenges to transform the underutilised space into a comfortable and compliant living area.

A residential property in Bispham Green, near Ormskirk, required a complete renovation of its wine cellar, which had become unusable due to significant water ingress. The cellar, originally designed for wine storage, suffered from persistent dampness caused by groundwater and leaks from the courtyard above. A comprehensive waterproofing and drainage solution was necessary to restore the cellar to a functional and dry condition.
