This was a design-and-build commission for a client we met at the Grand Designs Exhibition in 2015. We were responsible for all aspects of this ground-floor extension – from feasibility study to fitting out and finishing its kitchen/diner, along with remodelling of the upstairs bathroom and master bedroom. The project was completed in 17 weeks.

Our brief for this two-bedroom apartment in Notting Hill, which was in reasonably good condition, was to upgrade and harmonise its features and finishes to maximise its rental value. The range of works agreed with our repeat client covered most of the property.
Our commission was to redecorate the entire interior of this Grade 2 listed property to a very high standard within a 10-day timeframe, while the family was on holiday.

This apartment in a highly desirable West London location was in need of modernisation. Our client, for whom we have upgraded other rental properties, wanted to maximise its marketability for a limited budget. The works included full re-wiring and partial replacement of some features and redecoration, carefully managed to minimise additional expense.

Renovation
A complete renovation of an architecturally interesting but challenging building, this project required structural works and solutions to dampness and condensation problems, as well as new floors and extensive decoration inside and out.
“The Hyssop Project people have the foresight, aptitude and commitment to working hard that delivers a better on-site building experience, whilst also appreciating the client’s needs and aspirations throughout the construction process.”

I need two bathrooms altered quite significantly because of the illness of my husband and the work had to be completed within a short holiday period. Hyssop Project was recommended to me by an architect.
Their work was done on time and to an extremely high standard. Neighbours commented that the workmen were all polite, helpful, tidy and efficient. When I returned home I found my flat clean and tidy, the bathrooms done as per specification, and no problems to resolve. I consider the cost to be fair and reasonable.
Until recently I managed a number of properties for a landlord. I'm well aware of how one can be misled by builders. But I am happy to recommend Hyssop Project.”

(Since the bathroom alterations we have replaced the box sash windows, installed underfloor heating in the main bathroom and fully painted and decorated the property and carry out general maintenance.
We have also carried out 2no. full apartment renovations for this client.)

After almost a year of listening to unaffordable quotes and ridiculous timelines, my partner and I were nearly ready to give up on our architectural plans. Thankfully before we did, we found Sheahan Thorne of Hyssop Project.
In the week leading up to Christmas, Sheahan came to our house, ran through the plans with us and did everything he could to make himself available.
The project was intricate, and required imagination, creativity and "thinking outside the box” as we had a very tight budget. Sheahan was able to show us the options available, and different ways in which we could create our dream home without going outside the budget.
At the start of the project, my partner and I were on holiday, but with Sheahan as Project Manager, we felt absolutely comfortable leaving him to do the work.
We returned to a transformed house. Sheahan had followed our requests to the last note, and our dreams were entirely realised. The craftsmanship was so good, we asked Sheahan and his team to finish a number of additional, smaller projects. These involved electrics, plumbing, carpentry and tiling as well as building work. Sheahan personally managed our architects, the Council and building control.
I cannot recommend Sheahan's team enough. I found them all professional, polite, trustworthy, hard working, and most importantly, incredible craftsmen.
We look forward to using Hyssop Project for our next build."

“My firm has worked with Hyssop Project on many occasions. We are very happy to continue the relationship because we find them helpful, diligent and very co-operative. It is always a pleasure to work with firms that provide the sort of flexibility and constructive assistance that all architects wish to have. Hyssop Project is one of those firms.”
