Basement and cellar works
Damp remediation, tanking and conversion of existing cellars.
Areas we cover
HORTN LTD carries out building, groundwork and civil engineering work across Didsbury, Greater Manchester and the surrounding area, for homeowners, landlords and commercial clients.
Local work
Didsbury's Victorian and Edwardian houses are beautiful and awkward in equal measure — cellars, shallow footings, narrow side access and drains that have been altered a dozen times. We have the equipment and the patience for that kind of work.
On Didsbury's narrow terraced streets, getting a mini digger to the rear is often impossible. We plan the groundwork around hand-dig and conveyor methods from the outset rather than discovering the problem on day one.
We are based at 17 Netherton Road in Manchester and cover Didsbury, Greater Manchester including the M20 postcode area. Whether the job is a single repair or a full extension, you deal with one team from first quotation to finished work.
What we do here
The work we carry out most often in and around Didsbury.
Damp remediation, tanking and conversion of existing cellars.
Rear and side extensions where access is tight and foundations need care around existing drains.
Tracing and repairing old drainage, including shared and combined systems.
Sympathetic refurbishment retaining original features, with windows, joinery and plastering to match.
