Basement in Bedford Park Conservation Area, W4
OLBC were engaged to design and build a large retro fit basement conversion in the Bedford Park Conservation Area. The project was technically very challenging as the ground is waterlogged gravels and so the basements formation level is around 1.5m underwater! The basement construction was highly successful with the excellent concrete workmanship from the OLBC team showing, and indeed it was so good that the basement pumps are only clearing condensation as there is no ingress.
