Re: Qualitas Basements - disdain for residents

I think it's never easy for the neighbours who have to live through it Mrs October although, I must say, Estbury did our neighbours' basement last year and they were very considerate and careful. The path was very rarely blocked and they were very polite and apologetic on the ...

Re: Estbury basements, London basement company

You will probably find the prices for constructing a basement shell priced relatively tightly. If you go with a regular building team who then subcontract, then they will take a 10-20% margin on top. If you go for one of the branded basement specialists, then they have to cover the overheads of webs...

Re: Estbury basements, London basement company

When we did our basement we had a few quotes obviously - it took months to even get a quote from London basement company and when I did they were 50 % more than the other quotes and very inflexible with the fittings (eg bathrooms) that you could choose.

Re: Estbury basements, London basement company

Estbury has recently finished a dig next door to us and our house (when it stops moving!) is going to need a whole load of repairs, redecorating and even a new front door. If you're a terraced house you must factor in those costs when you're doing your budget.

Re: Estbury basements, London basement company

Just don't do it. Seriously. You actually don't need an extra bedroom or a play room. And certainly not a wine cellar. It's a massive hassle. All builders are annoying. And it makes the house so tall you can't be bothered to go up and down all the stairs so you just stay in the kitchen! Honestly I'd...
