Hoping someone might be able to help with my nerves!
We live in a listed end Victorian terrace that currently has a large cellar that mirrors the layout of the floor above, about 65m2 in total (4 rooms and a corridor). It has high ceilings already (no need to dig down) and 4 boarded up windows so plenty of natural light and a large open fire place for some ventilation. It's definitely not the dampest cellar I've been in but is damp as it's a cellar, it's not habitable (but it does not flood and no issues with water table in the area). We're looking to have it made habitable (used for storage, office, lounge) and trying to find someone to take the project on and basically do it all, we've had a quote so far that covers:
