Basements
As one of the most technically demanding aspects of construction, basements require specialist expertise to avoid costly delays, increased costs and compromised quality. At Thames & Newcastle, we eliminate these risks with our dedicated in-house basement team.
By engaging with project teams in the early design stages, we deliver practical, buildable basement solutions from day one. From underground extensions to luxury basements housing swimming pools and spas, we have the skills to seamlessly integrate durable and functional living spaces.
In-house expertise
Unlike companies that rely on subcontractors, we manage every stage from basement design to installation, ensuring seamless integration with the rest of the build.
By keeping everything in house, we deliver:
- Greater efficiency: Our teams coordinate groundworks and superstructure construction simultaneously, reducing project timelines.
- More flexibility: We can adapt quickly to site-specific challenges, such as restricted access or complex soil conditions.
- Cost savings: With no reliance on third-party subcontractors, we maintain control over budgets without compromising quality.
Our groundworks specialists have been delivering basement projects across London and the South East for more than three decades. Whether working in tight urban spaces or overcoming logistical challenges like pedestrian access and restricted parking, their expertise minimises disruption ensuring smooth project execution.
