Report
I was looking for someone to build a room into my garage for use as a gym. I chose Cheshire Cellar Conversions as the requirement involved many of the same things a converted cellar does, damp-proofing, stud walls, electrics, decorating. The job was done on time and on budget and looks great. I'm very happy with the result.

Report
Having recently used Cheshire Cellar Conversions I found Gary and family (especially Tom) were excellent. The quote was very reasonable and the job was completed to a high standard in a good time frame. The guys were very repectful and did a great job. What was once a dingy cellar is now a new room and office. Couldn't recommend highly enough.
