@a-eye-music Heyy, refreshing to hear a nice comment, thank you... we have currently started a new 3 bed house renovation. Another video is coming out today ... great to get your attention on the upcoming videos, too 😊 Once again thank yoy
Looks great, I’m sure you are aware though this won’t be permanent. The back of the plasterboard will go mouldy due to moisture from the walls. Some mechanical ventilation might help.
Hi Daniel,, Thanks for your comment, yes I agree. We are using a Dehumidifier with a heat blower. So far so good and fingers crossed. Yes for sure it would wouldn't be permitted ... Have you done similar projects before and do you have any handy tips to pass over to me :)
@Daniel Warrington Oh wow, that is really good. I would have a lot to learn from you then :) For a basic conversion, how much do you think I should expect. I have a 2 bed property, and the ceiling height is already around 1.9m in the cellar.
@@jlpropertychannel9900 we got quoted 18K… but DIY’d for a 6k. And that’s will a builder putting in the window. My best advice would be to watch our on the eBay etc. people doing similar project will have left over tanking membrane, and as the not many people are completing conversions they go for dirt cheap. I was lucky to get most of what I need for about £200… rather then thousands. Took me about a year DIY. Do it in phases so you don’t hurt the bank so much and make sure at the end of each phase you can still store stuff done there! You’ll need build regs sign off too, worth it so when you sell it is officially another room which will add at least 10% to your property.
@Daniel Warrington That is brilliant, I would love to see a video if you ever upload to youtube. Let me know if you ever do. Really good advice btw and yes, the value would definitely increase. I got a few houses with cellars and I'm considering doing one of them up including the cellar too with BC regs. Do you also need an additional fire escape for the new cellar room? Thanks for your help Daniel 👍
@@jlpropertychannel9900 for sure if you have any advice I’d love to hear it you could even make a tips and advice video like “10 things i wish i knew before renovating” or something !
Hi Eliable, I will keep this in mind as what you given is a great suggestion... I will do your video in the coming months. If subscribing to this channel would be of use to you then I would appreciate it. Are you planning to make habitable rooms in your cellar ?
Thanks for this! We have a Victorian terrace in the midlands and we’d like to make the cellar useable for a washing machine and walk in larder. It’s just bare bricks and collecting cobwebs at the moment! Could you please share where you sourced your materials? Any advice for getting plumping installed to use it as a laundry room?
@jounfy Appreciate the comment 😀 I got the materials some time ago, and they will be more expensive now due to material prices increases. Having said that, I normally look at Wickes and Selco for my materials. Then compar between both as they both change prices on items every so often. If you want to do a laundry room and require plumbing. The main thing you need to work out, is a route for the waste pipe and a pump that is capable of pushing the water to go up against gravity.
Hi Muhammad, thanks for your comment and helpful feedback. Yes you are right we should have cleaned the walls prior but it was due to some time restraints... By any chance are involved in a trade
Please, do not do your cellar/basement like this… should have tanked it properly. Also should have a sump pit and pump… No heating… you’ll get condensation buildup everywhere…
@@jlpropertychannel9900 nope. We did our cellar in a Victorian house. Lots of research is very important and you really can’t cut corners.. when you lock away the moisture from the floor you’ll be surprised how much water collects.. when it’s open you get lots of natural evaporation. You may not think it, but a good sump pit and pump is so important. Also we have a thick PIR insulated underfloor heating system installed. Good luck.
@terrytrillmusic they are screws that go straight into brick ... I think at one part of the video I show what they look like. Let me know if you can find it in the video
@jlpropertychannel9900 Cellars Cellars in one- and two-family homes can never be lawfully rented. Cellars in one- and two-family homes cannot be lawfully used for sleeping, eating, or primary.
Very bad here I have one its very quite and comfortable but it's has a lot of limitations and very expensive to legalize it . Only to get a Certificate of occupancy cost $90,000 it involve and arquitect ,electrician, plumber all with city licenses.
@Elsuper68 Wow, what a difference ! I have not been to NYC yet but will do in the future. I recently came back from Dubai and never been there before. How things work there and at the speed they build their infrastructure etc is crazy. Apparently 1/3 of the worlds craines are in Dubai. So you are invested in proeperty or follow a lot of these things in general yourself.
@@jlpropertychannel9900No I have a Son with a Victorian cellar. I have re-instated the airbricks and it seems to be working. If we can manage without electrical ventillation we will be happy. I have seen how well the lime plaster works. It likes a bit of damp behind it.
Hi there, Thanks for your comment 😊 If we dot and dab, the moisture will get absorbed faster through to the plasterboard. I put wooden batons with a damp proof membrane to reduce the transfer of moisture from the cellar walls. Are you doing something similar ?
Morning Rachel, without looking through my costs. It cost roughly £200-£300 to do. Just make sure you put a decent amount of airvents and leave a gap between the wall. Are you thinking of doing your cellar conversion. Because you may want to go down the route of doing a drainage and tanking etc. That way, you can clarify it as a space when you value the property.
I done what I did in the video to keep costs low and just to make the space more usable. Also, you may want to consider how damp or flooded your cellar might get every year.
@@jlpropertychannel9900 thankyou for ur reply , and yes im thinking of doing my cellar and im going to look into getting the drain thing done im also looking into doing the tanking too
@rachelcarter2036 I can imagine that after you finish, it will look great and it will add useful space for you. I used to live in London and have not seen many cellars at all. Now I am up North, I see so many. Consider yourself lucky to have one as they can be very useful. Good luck with your Cellar and we hope to see you on our comment section below soon 😀 or even better, like and sub if you wish 🤞
Hi mate great conversation. I have something similar have you experienced any damp on the plasterboards. Also are they the waterproof ones or just Normal gypsum ones.
Hi there, thanks for your message :) If I am not mistaken it was normal gypsum plasterboard and I left an inch gap between the walls and the boards. I used batterns with dampproof course on it. I done this basic cellar conversion just to make the storage more usable. I also used a dehumidifier or a low voltage fan to push air during the day and night to control moisture levels. It has been okay so far to the best of my knowledge. Having said that my cellar didn't have that much damp conpared to other cellars. Do you get slight flooding at some times of the year in your Cellar?
Thank you for the speedy response and great advice. My basement never flood as we live on top of a hill. My basement suffers from slight efflorescence in small areas of the basement. Is there anyway i can send you a small video just to get abit of advice?. My basement doesn't have much damp either.
@@hellomyg8182 No problem at all ... you can upload a video on TH-cam and then show me. Only thing is I have only done it for myself and it maybe best to get professional advice as you may want it to be certified by Building control. Looking forward to seeing the video of your cellar once you upload to youtube... 😀
@@jlpropertychannel9900 Great idea. Like yourself I only want it for storage and dont want to spends thousands getting it tanked.

You have weakened your house from the foundation. The dpc injection will cause the brickwork to turn to dust. It wont stop penetrating damp from the walls and the plasterboard will get mould.
Hi, thanks for your opinion. We read and acknowledged what you wrote. It would be great to provide some constructive feedback along with your comment as well. Others and myself will benefit more from that. Please note that the repair we did in this video has done the trick for us. It has been 3 years now, and it is important to know this in line with all comments on this video. Looking forward to your constructive opinion...
@@jlpropertychannel9900 you have just hidden the problem of water penetration. The bricks need to breath and you have stopped them from doing that, they will hold the moisture and begin to spall. Weakening the foundations of the property, entire buildings need to be rebuilt because of this.
@@jlpropertychannel9900also the timber that you have just drilled onto the brickwork will also begin to rott as its drilled directly onto the basement walls. 3 years and its been ok, but you will most certainly need to redo the whole basement again.

Hi Jason, thanks for the comment 🙂... it is around 1.85cm in height.... any reason you need the height. Are you comparing it to another house or something along those lines?

How did you screw the wood into brick. Regular screws & plugs?

@@jlpropertychannel9900thanks dude. Do you know what they’re called?
Masonry ! Got it
Great work. Too bad that here in NYC it's illegal to convert cellar or basements in liveable space . Needs so much crap to legalize . Enjoy you place

Gypsum plasterboard will absorb damp. Is there any ventilation? Lime plastering the walls (after cleaning them), would, I think last longer
Hi Jim, I have a dehumidifier with a heater that circulates air around. Thanks for your comment. Do you do cellar conversions, or have you done one

@Jim Hignett oh I see. Thanks for your advice btw. I appreciate it and all the best with your cellar.
Hi mate grate video I got something quite similar, could you put the list of materials on the description?
Hi 👋 thank youuu
Yes I can do, no problem
Do you get water on your cellar floor?
How long did all this take you? End result looks great!
Hi Nanthees, thanks for your comment ... it taken around are 3 days in total. It was just to make the space a little more usable.
Why not dot and dabthe plasterboard instead of wood batons?
Hi there, Thanks for your comment 😊
If we dot and dab, the moisture will get absorbed faster through to the plasterboard. I put wooden batons with a damp proof membrane to reduce the transfer of moisture from the cellar walls.

How much would that cost
Hi there, at the time is cost us around £250 but now it would be around £350 at least with the increased prices due to inflation.
