Here is an old cottage in a conservation area. Due to the poor condition of the cellar, the cellar space was unusable. The floors were just uneven compacted earth. The walls were damp, salty and the masonry was slowly crumbling and decaying.
As part of a whole-house renovation, the owners wanted to improve the condition of the cellar, the make it dry, stop the decay and to make it suitable for storing miscellaneous things.
