Back To Basement Ltd is a specialist basement and cellar conversion company based in Leeds, founded by Rubi Kasuto in 1997. With nearly three decades of experience, the company transforms unused, damp basements into habitable rooms across Leeds and West Yorkshire. They pride themselves on being a small, experienced, hands-on team, with direct involvement from the founder on every project.
Rubi Kasuto, with 35 years in the building trade, developed a passion for basement conversions over 27 years ago after completing a specialist course in structural waterproofing. This focus led to the establishment of Back To Basement Ltd, dedicated exclusively to high-standard basement and cellar conversions. The company has completed over 100 projects, building a reputation for quality workmanship and honest pricing.
The core team consists of 3-4 directly employed tradespeople, handling excavation, structural works, joinery, drylining, and finishing. They collaborate with carefully vetted, long-term subcontractors for specialist elements like electrical (NAPIT accredited) and plumbing (Gas Safe registered) work, ensuring a trusted and cohesive team. Back To Basement Ltd is a Triton Approved Contractor, adhering to BS 8102 standards for waterproofing.
They manage building regulations applications with Leeds City Council and hold public liability and professional indemnity insurance. Their expertise is particularly valuable in Leeds, understanding local property types, soil conditions, and specific waterproofing challenges.
