Here is a project that Kathy, my wife, and I actually carried out for a friend, with the help of his family and in exchange for a nice weekend away in Malvern.

 

Andrew and Sue had two barrel vaulted cellars under the carpark of their small Hotel and wanted to create a Utility Room in one and an Office for Andrew in the other. The second Cellar extended into a small room which also needed lining.

Andrew used 'battening' timbers fixed with screws into the plug heads to then line with plasterboard. He also used Membrane on the floors.

 

membrane material - plastic dimpled sheet on a roll. Easy to cut and trim.

plastering - plaster with ordinary Bonding lightweight plaster

floor option - just lay chipboard flooring or screed directly onto the waterproof membrane

* Optional Items:

- Sump and pump kit

- Drainage channel

- 'Tanking' waterproofing liquid (SBR)

- Certificate of Product Guarantee

- Salt Neutraliser

- Anti Mould paint

.

As used by the professionals - not all damp proofing membranes are made to these high standards - beware of cheap imitations.

Sons one and two drilling the end wall - note that you can see enough through the material to pick the best places to drill

Fitting the plasterboard to the curved sides - insulation can be fitted between the battens.

The Membrane continues out into the room beyond the cellar, where the end wall is below ground.

One of the finished cellars - the floor is chipboard in this one, concrete screed in the other (a Utility Room)

These Cellars have functioning drains, so there was no need to fit a sump and pump system.
