Explore our latest case studies, behind-the-scenes videos, and technical insights. We deliver basement structures across Northern England — engineered for certainty, planned for neighbour-sensitive working, and waterproofed to BS 8102:2022 by a named CSSW specialist.
Welcome to
Our portfolio
This hub brings together our most useful project learning — from structural excavation and retaining walls to waterproofing, temporary works sequencing and neighbour-focused logistics. If you’re planning a high-value basement in the North (Alderley Edge, Wilmslow, Knutsford, Harrogate, Ilkley, Darras Hall and beyond), you’ll find practical examples of how we approach risk, programme and quality on constrained sites.
We specialise in shell & core basement construction and underground structures, working alongside RIBA architects and engineers. Our projects are designed and delivered with robust governance: BS 5975-1:2024 temporary works procedures (with appointed TWC/TWS), and borough-ready documentation where required (BIA, CTMP/CLP/CMP, CoCP, Section 61 support).

FAQs about Our Projects & Insights
We feature a mix of new-build basements and complex retrofit excavations, including front and rear digs, underpinning, retaining walls, and restricted-access logistics. The focus is on the structural and waterproofing work that protects the investment long-term — i.e., shell & core delivery.
Basement Structures North is focused on Northern England, including premium areas such as Cheshire’s Golden Triangle, North Leeds, Harrogate/Ilkley, and Newcastle’s affluent suburbs. If your project is outside these areas, contact us and we’ll advise on feasibility.
It means the waterproofing strategy is designed to meet the current British Standard for protection of below-ground structures, and the design is led/checked by a CSSW-qualified waterproofing specialist. In practice, that supports a clearer risk assessment, the right system selection for the ground conditions, and better long-term performance.
Yes — our video gallery includes real site footage (including constrained access solutions, excavation methodology, and structural stages) so you can see how a basement build is controlled day-to-day.
On tight residential streets, success is often logistics-led. We plan deliveries, noise/dust controls, and working hours, and can support borough-ready documentation such as BIA, CTMP/CLP/CMP and CoCP requirements where applicable.
Start by speaking with our team. We’ll discuss constraints, programme, and risk, then advise on surveys, temporary works approach, and an outline route to buildable design.
