Most professionals price basement conversions per square metre, which provides a more accurate guide than a single figure.

Around £1,000 to £2,200 per m²

Cellar conversion with structural work
Around £1,500 to £2,500 per m²
(Covers work like floor lowering, underpinning and reinforced waterproofing)
Full basement conversion with excavation and full structural build
Around £2,000 to £3,000 per m²

Estimated total cost £15,000 to £33,000

Based on the mid-range per-square-metre figures commonly cited across UK industry cost guides, a typical cellar or basement conversion usually falls around £1,600 to £2,200 per m².

I asked Rob to call around to discuss some work we were considering having done. We did not know whether it involves structural changes and/or what regulations would apply and how we would go about it. Rob was extremely helpful and advised that the changes we were considering could be done but weren’t strictly necessary and there were other ways to overcome the issues. His advice actually meant that we did not require his services so essentially he talked himself out of work. He fully appreciated that but was happy to help in any event. He has certainly saved us money we didn’t need to spend and I was very impressed when he would not even accept payment of a fee for coming out. He will certainly be my first point of contact for any work in the future!
